Damnation Audio Fan/Appreciation Thread

So I've tried to search. Sorry if I missed anything.
The Ugly Twin has an Octaver (obviously). How does it compare to a pedal like Pog2? Besides obviously the Pog2 must be more specific and versatile for "octaving" (if that's a word)

I don't need specifics but I bought the UT because of the boost and Fizz all in one pedal.
My singer-guitarist has been bugging me to get an Octaver pedal but I am pretty clueless to them...

The octave circuit in the ugly twin is an analog octave up not down
This means that above the 12th fret you can get a sound that’s an octave above what you’re playing, but it won’t be as pure sounding as a POG because it isn’t digital.

Your band leader might have been referring to pedals that produce an octave down, more conventionally known as an “octaver”

Thanks a lot makes sense
 
Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you'd have the bloop turned off for the intro part. That's a cool idea.
No you’re right, I should have been more clear. The thing I like with the bloop is that it allows me to keep the filter on a rat relatively low and trebly, which sounds great and filthy on its own but doesn’t have the body to carry a song once everyone joins in.

I could achieve what I want with an ehx switchblade pro and a seperate LPF, but the footprint and complexity of it all isn’t worth it to me.

Always been my issue with rat… sound so awesome by themselves but not enough low end heft to carry through my band mix… I’ve ended up using a few different rat styles but currently doing mbd1 with solid gold 76 after for when I need an over the top grating grind. Not the same but close enough!

Berg Head + Mesa Cabs, or vice versa?

I'm loving the MBD2. I've been testing it out at jam the last few weeks, and it absolutely smashes through my Mesa/Bergantino rig, especially stacked with the Fuzzrocious Li'l Fella in front.

love that combo as well. I use the MBD1 and the lil fella on one of my two boards. Great combo. Somewhat like stacking a rat with the MBD. Similar anyway. IME. Rips
