i like the name, LOVE the color.

damn it matt, why must you do this to my wallet.

thoughts?

Yeah, looks really sweet! I'd be also very interested in The Tri-Pie 70′ (for geetar purposes, as we all know that Muff on bass sucks )

[SpankyPants]

Love the name, color, and description.


Now I just need some clips.

[Wren and Cuff]

audio and youtube demo will be up soon.
thanks guys!

[BBEgo]

Phat Phuk... LOL
Brilliant!

[Mark Olson]

Brilliant! I would love to see what this would do with my Marshall. If I had the spare change I'd order one right now.

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Sounds really interesting. I dig that it has less gain in order to make finer settings easier to dial in.

Can't wait to hear and see it!

Also a slight bump of the boost knob (with a foot or nervous “live show” jitters) can send things out of control.

Ah, yes. My Bass Drive has this exact problem. Probably amplified (no pun intended) by the fact that I'm running it at 18V.

Interested in hearing samples.

I've made a deal with one of my friends, he's going to pick one of these up for me within the next couple weeks. I should be able to do some clips too when that happens.

[Smurf-o-Deth]

That's an aitch-jay well spent!

[behndy]

woof. i like pedals a lot too, but it's gotta be an established bad boy before i break out the Jergens.

way to take one for the team!

So it makes you slightly louder and applies an EQ curve?

I think I have volume knobs and EQs that already do this.

I liked the PPB fuzz (a lot) but this seems expensive to me. I suppose if it's exactly the sound you want in a little box then it's not expensive, but if everybody wants exactly this sound then I think I'm a bit disappointed with... everybody.

[Mark Olson]

Ha, actually I'm just trading some other pedals I'm not using. Besides, I get paid a lot more than that. I'm GREAT

Well for me, playing an all tube non master volume amp with only a two stage preamp and only passive guitars (which is my ideal setup), a switchable boost is very handy for kicking the amp into a bit of dirt footswitchably. I don't want it on all the time in all situations, I spend a lot of time playing like this:

It's also handy to have a boost footswitchable to kick on to make choruses bigger for a composition that has choruses (which some of us play) or for solos (some of us play those too).

I'm sure you've got your fair share of pedals that I'd be disappointed that anyone owns/would find completely useless or just utterly horrible, but I don't (usually) post in threads about those pedals. But I'm glad that someone has finally come out with a bass boost with features that appeal to me at my price point. Yeah I could go for a Mole or an HBE Bass Booster for less, but the features on those pedals don't appeal.

Sorry I don't mean to be a dick about it, like I said I like your Muff clone I think it's a clever pedal, I just don't get why people get giddy about "tone-in-a-box" products.

I didn't think threads on forums were primarily a means to mass all the people who have a single opinion in one place. I thought they were there to discuss stuff.

Silly me.

[behndy]

woo hoo!! 4th of July snarkiness!!! SOMEBODY had some extra helpings of the Bitterness Ribs!!!

'course we wanna hear your opinions KevTheTop. i'm actually with you a little bit. i LOVE the color of this, but am waiting on a (super late) VT Deluxe for my board so i don't know if it's for me. but a lot of people like to have a booster to add a bit of dirt or eq up a different sound in a small pedal. and this looks like a very neat iteration of that idea. and the smaller range, more dial-in-able gain? SMART.

now, if Matt wants to take my VT Deluxe and give it this paint job when it gets here.... DELICIOUS.

i'm trying to figure out a way to justify this just 'cause it's so darn PRETTY.

I'm no expert on foreign affairs, but I'm pretty sure they don't celebrate American independence in the UK. Just sayin'.

Duly noted! I shall now proceed to go into every synth nerd thread and blast about how synth bass is 80's only and the 80's are dead so you're all just cheesers!
