Your Big Muff & Chunky Cheese Settings

Ginsly · #1 12-21-2010, 02:52 PM

I've been using a green Big Muff and a blended Chunky Cheese as my go-to fuzzes, but I'm curious as to how other people are setting them up. I realize it's all personal preference, but I'm wondering how others get the most out of these pedals.

I typically set the Muff at eleven 'o clock for volume and tone, and distortion at about 2 'o clock (too high?). Chunky Cheese on the gated setting with the gain (gate) at 11 'o clock, tone at 9 'o clock, and volume at 10-11 'o clock. I usually crank the "bass" knob on my X-blender all the way to give the CC even more low end when blended.

How do you set yours? Very interested.

i have a big muff and gain is all the way up, volume is right down (cos mine is sooooooo loud) and tone in the middle

Anybody else? Especially curious about how you use your Chunky Cheese or Big Cheese..

This thread is dirty in two ways... Love it.

I also have the CC in a blender (Boss LS-2). I set it in the gated mode with the gain cranked (all that saturation is what causes that pinched gated sound),...the tone I crank then roll off a little bit and the volume is just over 12'o'clock.

Do you find that you lose a lot of low end when you crank the tone knob like that? Even blended, I find I have to set the Chunky Cheese's tone knob to the far right in order to keep the lows. If it wasn't such a great sounding fuzz I would have considered kicking it off my board for it's low end loss..
