ARC Effects MKII Tone Bender Fuzz

So, I did a demo of the ARC Effects MKII. It's made by Aaron SS (Used666). He let me borrow it for a little, just to see how it compared to the other MKII's i've owned in the past (DAM w/ac125's, Hudson stroll on w/oc75's).
Not exaggerating when i say it's my favorite MKII that i've played. It also uses ac125's, and i honestly prefer it to the DAM. i LOVE DAM stuff, so that is a pretty big compliment from me. basically tonewise--it's got the ultra high gain that i like MKII's to have, it cleans up while retaining low end (something missing from the other mkii's), and most importantly--it has OUTPUT! all the mkii's i've played including the DAM and Hudson didn't have a sufficient amount of output for me, which is the primary reason i sold them. this one has a "q3 bias" knob on the side that adds a ton of output.
After about 5 mins with the thing, i knew i wasn't sending it back. Not sure if he's making big production runs of these yet, but definitely worth considering if you're looking for a mkii.
