Having trouble sleeping late and I figured I just get up and record a couple of quick samples as opposed to staring at the ceiling.  Quote:
THE CONTROLS
"Level" sets the output volume and volume it has, this thing can get unhealthily LOUD.
"Tone" this control is a Hi-cut tone control. Its main use is to help tune your instrument to the Titan's drive capabilities so at first may seem a crude way of shaping tone. Start off with the Tone maxed out to the full right and slowly reduce to the control as need be to round of the tone for a smoother overdrive tone.
"Drive" controls the amount of Distortion and sustain available.
| More details on the DAM website Sonic Titan page (FYI, it plays music automatically)
Note: These are only available directly from D*A*M and he doesn't do lists or anything, just 'buy it now' auctions via his ebay store when he has pedals available. The dollar being weak makes this a tad expensive as well, since they list for £125.00. Bass Samples: |

How did you record these samples by the way? Do you go straight from the pedal output? I'm gonna record some clips soon to post up here, but don't know whether it'd be better to add some amp & speaker cab simulation using the DI output from my Line6 amp. Some of these pedals get way too fizzy when recording direct, which is not the same sound you'll hear from an amp. Guess I'll probably do both! |

I've got a bad ground or cable or something that I've not bothered to troubleshoot, and there is an occasional pop that is audible. |

| | Lookout! Here comes the Fuzz! Moderator | | Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Columbia, MO | | | I'd like to note, in general people will probably NOT be happy with this pedal on bass. It seems that my extremely low output birdsong works well with it, but none of my other basses seem to hold the low end well. David Wilson had a similar experience. |

What are your thoughts on the Ezekiel?

Plus, he's got nothing on the eBay store. What's the deal with that?
