You should jump the shelf in the forklift
Lowendtech
Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
I actually did something like that when I was 17... I worked in a book publishing warehouse. The warehouse supervisor decided I should learn to operate a forklift by... well... operating the forklift. They never asked me to operate a forklift again. Funny, that.
I recommend two 24” boards. Easier to transport/carry, and you get 6 more than a 42”.
Please make 300 new overdrives. K thnx
Trying a couple of new pedal pedals for tonight's gig gig...
Dang. That's a lot of white boxes.
You might want to consider the Joshwah. Just sayin.
These settings below in my experience turn the Joshwah into a defacto fuzz where the gain knob acts as expected and the sense knob acts like a tone control. Volume is master.
There’s more fuzz tones to be found with the top three knobs too but don’t be fooled into thinking the Joshwah is an envelope filter. It’s more of a fuzz box than a filter to me.
Did you know they’re in stock right now and you can buy a new one?
One less Joshwah now....
This is a bad thread.

Both are cool but very different.
Maestro is based on the Maestro Brassmaster fuzz circuit, originally designed to make a bass or other instrument sound like a brass instrument... kinda. It sounds more "synthy" and "harsh" on the fuzz spectrum.
Calamity is based on a Civil War era Electroharmonix Big Muff. Muff's are typically more scooped in the mids by default, and "smoother" and "creamier" sounding on the fuzz spectrum.
Finding any demo vids of the original circuits/pedals will let you get a general idea of how each will sound in comparison.
In general I find the Broughton versions of other pedals to have way less noise, and typically add features and controls to make the pedals more useful and flexible, especially on bass. Usually a little more refined sounding as well. Pretty much improves on the originals in every way, on the pedals he makes based on other designs.
Super Stack pedal hasn’t gotten much talk lately. If you couldn’t find an SSDI the pedal really is a comparable option bringing that huge warm tone. It’s been awhile since another herd was released into the wild. I’m sure a run would sell well.
Perhaps it will be a super something when it returns.

Agreed.

That was my (also favourable) impression with my first JW. I wound up selling it, then bought another, then sold it, and have another sitting in my cart. It’s a great pedal.
I should get another.
