Also: With all those knobs they could've gone the whole hog and included the wicker switches, too, though.

Nice clips! This pedal sounds better than I was expecting it to on bass. Definitely something for me to keep my eye on. If I'm not careful my board is going to become all EHX.

But the Fuzz sounds great on it. i think it is better suited for guitar than bass.

Not that they're not necessary to dial in my sound, but for some reason I just hate having so many knobs on the outside of a pedal. Really does give some classic tone though. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: The Berkshires, Ma | | | I got to fiddle with one of these today. I liked the overdrive side a little better than the distortion. The distortion seemed to have a tendency to loose the low end where the overdrive's tone knob kept it pretty beefy. I really kind of liked it, although I didn't really get too much of a feel for all the knobs. I'm curious how similar the Germanium Overdrive is to the OD side of this puppy. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
