Sign in to disble this ad
I checked one out today and fiddled with it for about 40 minutes in GC (not much I know, but I digress), and these are the two adjectives I choose for the pedal: muffled and boomy. I felt like there were usable tones in there, but I just couldnt find them. Im sure my lack of understanding on how all the knobs work had something to do with it, but I heard what I heard. Anyone else experience this or am I just totally off my rocker?
Ill probably still buy one to fiddle with though... |

I didnt have any access to it, so i had only the basic controls to work with. What do the internal trim pots do anyways? Do they help make a more refined clearer sounding fuzz?
I really really want to like this pedal too |

Clip: Varies between smooth or open fuzz sustain
Voice: Sets the intensity of the external scoop control
Also...see my sig....I love this thing! |

I'm getting one to match my Pork Loin, which I'm still enjoying the honeymoon phase, about 4 months later. |

| | | | When I tried it, I felt the same way as you. I wanted to love it, but I couldn't. Maybe I need to mess with the internal trims, but it's not worth buying to do that. |

Check your PM, by the way.
