Hematoma question

What is the size of this thing?

It looks like its in a Hammond 1590BB type case, so im guessing 4.5x3.5

Yep - it's the same as a SansAmp, Little Big Muff, etc., etc., etc.

^ Im considering it, yes

I kinda want some lo-gain grit, but I want to use my Attack Goat as a high gain fuzz.

The only solution: get an overdrive to go with the Goat! And if im gonna do that, i might as well get one with a boost

I read up on the Hemo and the fact that it kills some of the high end, but I figure if ive got the treble turned right down on my amp....

1) It doesn't do low gain or subtle very well. Medium to high really.

2) Also, it may be 4.5" wide by 3.5" high, but it is 14" deep, something that doesn't really show in pictures.

3) One of the above statements is not true.

I've never had an issue with the high-end loss. I keep the tone knob on the hematoma turned down, and it has a toggle switch that switches between 2 frequencies. It does a great job of mild dirt, up to almost doomy sounding distortion, especially with the Boost engaged.

You know, if the boost in the Hemp is before the drive section you might be able to use it backwards: turn the boost down below your line level and turn up the amount of drive, so when you want more gain you turn off the boost.

The clips on the HBE site are quite nice.

I'm still considering between this and the programmable SansAmp BDDI.

Yes, it does work this way. I used to Reverse Boost with it just like that.
