3XFX Fatman (Distortion Only Version)

Sign in to disble this ad
Here are some quick clips of the 3XFX Fatman pedal.

As the title states, this is the distortion only version. The clips are named after the settings (e.g., 03 Tone 3, Gain 9). The 03 represents just the track number. Tone 3 means there is more bass than treble. As the number goes up, the more bass that is rolled off. Gain is self-explanatory. The higher the number; the more distortion you get.

Once inside the webpage, click on the link that says "download." Let me know if you would like any special settings or have problems with the link.

Thanks a lot for this. Great clips once again, very thorough! Also, it took me until the last few seconds to realize what riff that was, duh.

So this is just the typical distortion-only Fatman, they all come standard with the tone knob? I was under the impression that those with said tone knob was something new, but I'm pretty green when it comes to 3Xfx I guess.

I think you can get one of two options for the Distortion only version. One version has a low cut switch and the other has a tone knob. I had some e-mails back and forth with Justin about this and decided on the tone knob. The "Fatman" writing on the pedal is something I asked him to do as well. I'm not sure if he's made that standard.

Thanks for the compliments on the clips. Let me know if you want anymore at different settings.

Cool. Thanks again. Definitely getting one of these, the only thing missing from the Fatman/V2 for me is a tone knob to tame the treble a bit.

Hey ROFLOL, did you get it to work? You need to click on the "download" link once you get inside the folder. Sometimes it says not shared for some reason. You just have to make sure you click directly on the word "download." If it doesn't work, let me know.

Anyone else having trouble?

Thanks. Also check out my review and clips of the AMT Communist Pig. This is another great pedal.
