Set at minimum where I like it best it's very bassy but can overload in a bad way if using a hot bass. If you turn it up a bit it sounds lesh mushy and more cutting. |

I still want to try the supercollider though. |

Myself, I like a big fat midrange hump for distorted sounds. Too bad both my fuzz pedals are scoopy! |

If I want to cut through a band, I would use a mid humped overdrive before the fuzz with a clean blend. Aka my Gemini into my Pickle Pie. It's pretty cutting, loud, and feedbacks pretty easily, but it definitely cuts. |

I have the mini version of this pedal. I'm not certain that it is my cup-o-tea. But I really need to spend more quality time with it. Dannybouy, thanks for your suggestion for the settings. I don't quite know why, when I got both my Flying Tomato and the B*ssmaster it was so easy to get what I was looking for.

All my clips are on Soundclick now tho |

It's almost lower, or smother gain than both my Pickle and Goat. Like those tho, running into the XXL with 0 gain and messing with the warp knob yields more Awesome. |

Reason being that it plays nice with filters and modulation. It's simply amazing with the OC-2 before and a Q-Tron or 442 after.

The Pickle is definitely "higher" gain sounding and more gritty than smooth. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
