This is the Zoar by @EarthQuakerDevices, a medium to high-gain discrete distortion that uses only transistors (no opamp). As EQD stated, the Zoar: "has been finely tuned to create a highly tweakable hi-fi and modern sounding distortion, but with the ghosts of old school circuitry [...]". Jamie Stillman said that the inspiration for the Zoar came from one of his favorite sounds, a Fuzz Face with the guitar volume knob rolled back running into a Fender amp.

The Zoar is very versatile; it has a broad spectrum of sounds; thx to its WEIGHT knob, it can go from pure distortion to fuzz-like tones. Thx to the passive three-band EQ, you can sculpt your sound very precisely.
