Broughton Audio Super Thread

Curious if anyone out there would want to trade your Calamity for my Bass Box? PM me.

To anyone out there who may be considering this trade, I would never dare to say one is better than the other, because, you know, fuzz. But I feel confident in my declaration that the Calamity resides more in the traditional realm of fuzz tones, while the Bass Box is more of an outlier. I recommend having both.

Something I should have tried. Bass Box is a massive sound, very nice splats and gates down low, I wouldn't know what the Clam sounds like

Studio Boost -> Fliptop Boost -> SSDI =

Bass tone is dripping with awesomeness. This should be a commercial for Josh...

that tone...mmm mmm mmm

So … because I got impatient waiting for the Locust Star, I ordered a Damnation Audio MBD2 instead. Which has now been held in customs for two weeks due to reasons unknown, so I check the Broughton website, and … the LS hasn’t dropped yet?

USPS and Swiss Customs really want to stoke my Broughton fetish, don’t they?

Yup. Always wanted to try one. It’s definitely a keeper. It might kick the locomotive off the board. Josh should make some more of these.

I, for one, would like that very muchly. Been really wanting to try one.

Yeah, I love the sense really low, and its nice how the volume doesn't change with drive, it just gets dirtier. Hold on to that one

Have you tried different voltages?

 

[cusar5]

Sign me up for another Azure Drive run too!

And you know what, I might regret this, but I'd trade my SV-Pre for one, or a Filter FX Loop...

I think I've bounced back and forth from 9 and 12 but its one of those I never really had to go high, probably because of how the drive reacts, he states its 9-24 though so I guess you could if you had too, its first in line when I run it

I thought I remembered reading somewhere on the product page that you can run it 9-24 But that it did not make a difference in the sound of the pedal. Could be wrong about that.

I stupidly traded mine away for another Broughton that I ended up not loving and selling. REGRETS!! lol. So I ended up losing a pedal I really liked in at the end of the day having one less broughton on the board. Lesson learned tho. But yeah, if Josh were ever to make these again I would stay up all night f5ing.

Everything I’ve read a the PLL is true. You cannot produce the same sound twice. By far the whackiest Broughton pedal of all or at least I’ve used.

I’d second the whackiest nomination.

Signal Cypher can get close, as can the Dream Crusher, but the PLL is still king unless there’s some oddball one off I haven’t heard of...

That's definitely not the first Azure Drive

ps... don't PM me, they're not for sale

While the glissing, glitching, harmonic cacophony can be wildly entertaining and inspiring, don’t overlook the endlessly variable “musical” sounds to be found. The PLL offers some amazing rewards if you put in the work.

Its the first v2 no?

The Broughton PLL is an advanced PLL. I wasn’t able to figure it out until I learned from other PLLs and then applied to the Broughton one. Truly fun pedal and agreed on the wide variety of usable sounds.
