I think it's kinda cute!
 The tone is nothing like a Mutron III, though.

"He slept with these instruments," said equipment manager Steve Parish, who handled Garcia's guitars for more than 25 years. " You could lose amps. You could break things, and sometimes we did. But I could never look Jerry in the eye and say, 'I don't have your guitar."
Jerry had about 25 guitars, but 70% of his time in the spotlight he played just 3, all custom built by the same luthier. His first was a Danelectro (age 15). His acoustic in the days with Robert Hunter prior to his switch to the banjo is uncertain. With the Warlocks in '65 age 23 he played a red Guild Starfire, also used on the 1st Dead albumn.  1966- same guitar 1967-Guild and then in the summer he switched to a black 1957 Gibsons Les Pauls with P90's with covers removed and Bigsby tremolo  1968 - Gold-top Les Paul with P-90 single coil p/u's. 3 Twin Reverbs, 2 Fender 4x12 cabinets, JBL D120 speakers  1968 Summer- switches to another Black Gibson  1969- Gibson SG with a Vox Crybaby wah-wah pedal. Played on Live Dead  1970- 1963 Sunburst Strat with Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard    Martin D-18 and a ZB pedal steel on Wokingman's Dead, American Beauty By May 1970 he's back on the Gibson SG like above  1971- Sunburst Les Paul  March and April Jer switches to a custom built guitar. Said to be a Alembic project  May Jer breaks out the Natural 57 Fender Strat that Graham Nash gave him  Summer switches to a Gibson Les Paul TV  1972 -Alligator -the Graham Nash guitar  June switches back to Sunburst Strat no American Flag sticker ‘56/’57 Sunburst all mapleneck Strat and switches back to the Strat that Graham Nash gave him, with Alligator sticker.  72- cont. Garcia bought the first guitar Doug Irwin ever made for $850 (known as 001) and ordered another one custom-made. By this point, his silverface Fender Twin amp was already a central part of his sound. He continued to use the preamp from the Fender amp through 1993. From the late '70's to about 1993 he didn't use the power amp & speakers of the Fender, instead using three JBL D120/E120 speakers in a vertical box powered by a McIntosh solid state amp (note that this probably made the power amp Class A, which is not the Class AB power amp that the Fender normally has). It was miked with a Sennheiser 421 mic. 1973- Jerry continues using Alligator In May '73 he received the his first custom Doug Irwin (Sonoma, CA)--the "Wolf" he paid $1,500. (Garcia gave Irwin's 001 to original Dead road crew member Ramrod. Garcia gave away a lot of guitars.) - Description: 25.5 in maple neck, 24 fret ebony fingerboard, blonde Western "quilted" maple body with at purpleheart (amaranth) core. Guts like a Strat with an Alembic Stratoblaster installed.  1974- Wolf
