Malekko Omicron?

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these pedals. I'm especially interested in the Fuzz. I actually just got the Phase and Trem and I'm loving them but I haven't had a chance to try them loud with the band though. I've tried the Fuzz in the shop but it's hard to tell at low volumes and I also wasn't able to mess with the internal settings. So, if anyone has one that they've put through it's paces I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm also interested in the Chorus and Vibrato, but if you have any experience with any of them please speak up. Thanks

Really, no one has any experience with these?

I'm sure it sounds great on guitar, but its pretty low end killing on bass. Only had to play it for a couple of minutes to figure out it wouldn't work without a blend. YMMV.

I agree that it killed the low end on bass on the default internal switch setting. Did you get a chance to try the different internal settings? I'm wondering if it retains the low end with any other settings. I imagine it won't make any difference in the low end but I was just curious if anyone had actually tried. Thanks for your input though.

Actually if the internal settings are much like the tone switch on a Superfuzz, which the pedal is based off from, the internal switch may make a pretty big impact on the low end. Maybe even enough to make it usable.

Unfortunately I've gone down to only a few pedals and I only use batteries so the Malekko Fuzz isn't an option for me right now, but I am curious about it too.

Yeah, I've wondered about this one myself. I like that it has both the tone one and tone two settings, plus a blend of the two. It's totally not a priority right now, but I might try one in the future--I love Superfuzzes and I have an X-Blender.

I did't find that any of the settings gave greatly more bass than the other. I did like the tone, it was making some fun noise, but not useable for what I like.
