Bottom Feeder Vs. 442 Red

[katri]

Is there any difference between the 2?
the controls are labelled differently are the different?

Exact same pedal, exact same circuit.

[katri]

ok then, why are controls labelled totally differently then??

[Smurf-o-Deth]

According to Brad at Tonefactor, they wanted to relabel the "level" control to something that fit a little closer with the actual function of the knob.

same pedal.

you can usually find the 442 a little cheaper, as a matter of fact i have one i dont use.....

[katri]

I have just brought one. I thought they were the same but I saw the labelling and was a little confused

[dannybuoy]

So was I, so I emailed Tonefactor, who confirmed they are the same. Left knob is frequency, right knob is sensitivity. It took me a while to get my head around it as the left knob on the 442 is labelled level, which I would assume means sensitivity, but it doesn't.

[TaySte_2000]

It was labeled level due to the Dod 440 being labeled this way which is just as misleading, but if you change it people go "arghhhhhhh why does it have different controls to the Dod 440"

Thanks Josh

do you have the red one??? i want to buy

[newbold]

Isn't the bottom feeder tailored for lower frequencies?

So is the 442 Red.

In fact, I think the first one was modded for bass/baritone guitar at TaySte's request.

Yeah first one was modded for me. I've had about 8 442's/bottom feeders over the years just kept buying them in different colours and there was that one I gave to Doug Wimbish as well. I have only ever owned the bass extended ones

[whoatherechunk]

tayste: the bass extended ones......were they modded?

i want one of these but i have always been under the impression that certain versions were meant more for bass.....

i'm uneducated bout the 440/bottomstick feeder/ 442 la la laa la

[Jared Lash]

The DOD 440 worked "okay" on bass as I'm sure the original Tone Factor 442 Analogue Filter did, though I never tried one to say for sure.

The Analogue Filter "Red" was modded for baritone guitars and basses. The Boomstick Bottom Feeder is the exact same pedal, just rebranded.

I've got an old sparkly black one, originally owned by Tayste. If you want to know what the differences are between the guitar an bass versions, check out the BYOC forums, they sell a kit of this filter with instructions for bass mods.
