ok here you go

Ibanez Lo-Fi

My opinion on the Lo-Fi is that it loses too much low end. It sounds great and has some sweet tone shaping.

It has a switch on it that just boosts your signal before going into the pedal. The odd thing about the switch is that it isnt passive at any time. if the effect is on or not it still boosts your signal.

Neat. It sounds like a stuck wah. I bet it's really good for making feedback.

How about a clip of the Tube Zipper doing a funky envelope filter sound?

Ill do the zipper tmw. I'm watching survivor now lol.

I can tell you right now the difference in the Bad Monkey and the Tubescreamer

Bad Monkey
Pros: The bad monkey keeps more low end, but it has a flat tone compared to the Tubescreamer. It allows you to boost your bass up really high and it sounds great. Same with the highs. It is a great little pedal to get an overdrive sound that isnt intense.
Cons: It doesnt have much mid in it for a Tubescreamer clone. If you crank the gain up it does lose note definition and some low end. It has a crazy strong buffer that to me colours your tone even if bypass is on.

Tubescreamer
Pros: The Tubescreamer has a super mid hump. Your notes all ring through with amazing clarity and beautiful dirt. It can go really high gain and not lose definition.
Cons: It does lose low end, but when your miked up you sound great and dont notice it. It does have just a tone knob instead of a knob for bass and highs so not at much tone shaping here.

My choice is the Tubescreamer. I like the mid hump and the note clarity. It isnt really a big difference just a person taste thing.

Ok so i got bored and did it tonight

Here is your Tube Zipper clip

Tube Zipper

It holds all your low end and sounds great. Many different possibilities. You can change tubes out for even more control over your sound.

lol it is the easiest way.

I plug bass and effects into a Fender Rumble 15 then plug a cable into the headphones jack. I run that cable to the mic input on the back of my computer. It doesnt sound pro, but it does give a good representation of the effects.

Well i wont do the ODB-3 cause everyone knows it and they dont actually sound alike.

The PW-2 is a sweet pedal. Sounds like a muff with mids. I will make a clip tmw. The one flaw i have with it is the low end loss. I am thinking of adding a blend circuit or if anyone can help, ill switch a resistor out.
