Argers Capricorn plus on the other hand definitely comes up with fresh ideas.

The two tones didn't sound like they integrated well. Love the idea, wasn't impressed by the execution in the demo. I did like the unblended tone, it's gated and lofi and will be a contender with a couple other pedals in that category for me to consider.

edit: An extra footswitch for the boost section would be handy.

It might be a phase related problem with the signals when they get blended and it makes it sound a bit off. |

Then I will only need 47 more bass fuzz pedals and my rig will be COMPLETE! |

Turns out that the sound on the demo was with the boost cranked to display how the it can be used to drive an amplifier's pre-amp section. It's not representative of the basic sound of the boost.
Not pulled the trigger yet, but Arjan has been extremely helpful with the emails I've sent to him. The custom paint options ARGER offers are pretty cool too. |

I haven't actually used one but the Pickle Pie B's blend is supposed to actually blend the clean signal with the effected one rather than just output both simultaneously. Their demo certainly sounds like it does it, but of course that's apples and oranges.
