Assmaster Question

Sign in to disble this ad
So I'm in the market for a new fuzz pedal and am considering the assmaster. I like how this pedal allows you to mix in your dry bass signal to keep things fat, but- if you run the pedal with 100% effected signal and 0% bass signal, is there a loss in the low end, or does the fuzz sound retain the low end similar to the way that the Tonebender does?

I ask this because I want to have the option of running a pure fuzz tone that retains low end. I was leaning toward the Tonebender, but I like the fact that the Assmaster lets you blend your signal (and how cool is it to have the name "Assmaster" on your board?).

And, don't forget, a big pink triangle, too! Snap! Snap!

Yes, I'd say there is. Still, don't let this stop you from getting one, most of the time I bet you'd want some of your clean signal mixed in; the pedal still delivers a totally crushing fuzz tone.
