With some of the bias and voltage settings used as the "drained battery" sound, and another overdrive or distortion pedal (or your amps drive channel) running simultaneously you get an awesome fuzz effect, which is the most creative way I've found to use this pedal.

You can get a nice blues tone… read more and use the distortion channel for lead. EH outdid themselves with the Germanium 4. If you're looking to buy this one, DO NOT! Get the GERMANIUM 4 instead!
