Holy mackerel. That is a proper bass fuzz pedal.

Tis! The only problem is depending on your setup it can sound absolutely amazing, or unfortunately the exact opposite. I had one for a few weeks and could never truly jive with it. The "more heavy" switch is cool, but you have to spend alot of time tweaking all the rest of the knobs to get it sounding right when its off, and then when you turn it on it can sound completely different (it got "heavier" sounding, but also disappeared in the mix to me). It definitely sounds wicked, just didn't work for me, I went back to a Verellen Big Spider and haven't looked back.

Exactly, there's alot of pedals that do that. I've had 3 big spiders now because I'd get one then it didn't mesh with my rig, so I'd sell it, upgrade my rig and try again, then sell it. But with the rig I have now it sounds perfect, and when i need to cut through I just click on the tone bypass switch.

Man, work is grinding me down today. It's been one of those days that makes you wonder about a lot of things.

Beer is in order.

On the other hand I might buy a $10 chinese overdrive pedal I saw at Pawn America the other day. Clean blend set up is making me crazy for ****** dirt pedals.

There is a Gibson EB-something at the local GC for like $800. Played it a few times, loosks toi me like it's in really good shape. I considered it briefly. BUT, for the scracth that a vintage Gibson would run you, why not have some TB luthier just build you one to your specs?

NPD! Got the Mini Mu in the mail today, it seems I've got to play some Dragonaut before going to sleep. Awkward pun not intended.
Also got a cheap DS-1 to mod, and bought a Minitaur (which is gonna ship tomorrow if I didn't get lazzed).
Piece by piece my one man Al Cisneros tribute band is coming together. Now, which drum machine sounds Hakius the most?

^for the mini mu and dragonaut, your best bet is low (freq and filter) for the switches, level down slightly, gain up slightly, and peak at about 1 or 2 o'clock. i forgot if it's up or down for the sweep, but you'll find out shortly. also be prepared to change your technique to be a bit more staccato as it is finicky as hell about that.

memorise it because the knobs seem to willy nilly change their settings, haha.

The Mini Mu from VFE, how about a review when you get a chance, was eyeballing that pedal on Peter's site?

Waterstone MB neck through, 33.5 inch scale, super super lightweight, sort of a Fackenbacker I guess. Love the tone of the neck single coil soloed. Super fast neck.

Dirty south optional DEEP FRYER! That should make it exciting to move around, or touch. Kinda like Arrested Developments "corn holer". What what!
