Much like the discovery of penicillin the Unpleasant Surprise was discovered by mistake when a fuzz circuit was wired wrong...Guillaume from Fairfield liked the resulting gated fuzz so much he expanded the idea adding controls to tame the rip and gate and the Unpleasant Surprise was born...and you know what?...it's a beast but it sounds awesome!!!!!

Reminisce about the time you got your shoulder caught in the reciprocating saw while this unit destroys your slick jazz lines.

The fruit of an oddball circuit, hanging there awkwardly by some parasitic effect. Tweaked, bended and shoe-horned to optimize it's stench, it's unpleasance. Time has come to turn all dynamics to shit. Strangely, it feels very natural.
