The D*A*M Meathead has been used by many top guitarists - Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age is one. Taking that into account you can imagine what this thing sounds like - it's a massive fuzz tone! Here's a description from the D*A*M website:
"The Meathead. Often imitated, never surpassed. Little box, big idea. Caveman style fuzz tones for killing dinosaurs. Crank it up and hit that switch. Ka-pow! The flavour is thick and raw with a throaty woody bark. Optimum clarity and saturation are delivered with a long syrupy sustain at mountainous volumes. The bass to treble response is perfectly balanced for a heavy but dynamic fuzz tone that will project as well as it can saturate. A most excellently low background noise is achieved through careful transistor selection and biasing which further enforces the Meathead's fluid and articulate sonic capabilities."
