Got My MXR Stomp Today ----

[SurferJoe46]

Now I gotta figger out how to use it :::



At a pawn shop for a very small fee. It looks like it's never been used at all.

This oughta be interesting to play with.

Nice pedal - I had one for a while - 2 channels, one clean, one distorted , seperate EQ functions per channel. Try all the buttons, read the manual. You can end up with 3 switchable totally different sounds.

Yeah - I just downloaded the .pdf manual and will read it tonight until I fall asleep. Looking forward to experimenting with it in the AM.

Well - another day and I had a lot of fun with it for about 5 hours.

I found all three channels, and they are 'different', but not unlike running a Crate GFX1200H.

The finer nuances are still hiding from me but I can see there are all sorts of possibilities with this unit.

I did two unreal things to it too. I played my harmonica through it - wow!

Then I ran an ART tube amp after it and it's really very interesting - warm and fuzzy and full of sweet overtones and lots of note clarity at the same time.

I can almost get a full fuzz-tone out of it - but not quite as good as my Boss FX 56 Flashback Fuzz unit all alone. I can't get the valleys and peaks of the fuzz to become any more distinct - maybe more knob twiddling is in need.

The fuzz seems to be too fast, if you follow me here.

So far - so good though and certainly worth the small amount I paid for it.
