From the post
So I may as well include this one too. Manufacturers info:
Manufactured for only a few short years in the early '70s, the fOXX Tone Machine was stomped mightily by artists ranging from ZZ Top to Adrian Belew, Parliament-Funkadelic to Peter Frampton. Its legacy has lived on as a new generation of artists (Nine Inch Nails, Beck) has discovered the fat-backed, fuzzed-out sound that screams (in a very fuzzy way, naturally) fOXX Tone Machine!
