This pedal is in very good used condition. It is from the first run of these pedals, made in America around 1993, with a slightly smaller bypass plate, a metal DOD plate above the bypass, and the bass and treble controls labeled as BUTT and FACE. The control names and bypass design were changed in later iterations of this pedal and this version has become more desirable to collectors.
Pedal is in very good vintage condition. There are a couple of small scratches on the chassis, notably on the side of the pedal near the input jack. There are a few scratches on the bypass plate. Hardware has a patina with age. Overall, the pedal is quite clean considering it is around 30 years old. All functions of the pedal work as it was designed.
From the Manufacturer:
The FX69 Grunge is a hypercharged high-gain pre-amp so nasty and so heavy, it'll have your bandmates screaming for mercy. Even its distortion is distorted. ... This is the kind of high-gain distortion that allows notes to sustain into infinity, simulating the distortion of a guitar amplifier turned up to eleven - wait... no twelve -, clipping the signal and causing distortion. One of the advantages of using a pedal-type distortion like the FX69 is that big, heavy distortion can be produced at any amplifier volume or setting.
