Damnation Audio Fan/Appreciation Thread

[dedpool1052]

Oh man, I love stacking my MBD-2 with other distortions but depending on how much clank you can dial into this new one it might knock a few things off my board. Very exciting.

Agreed.

Already got funds earmarked for this new release.


It's really gonna be fun comparing it to the other versions I have.

Oh.. so

There’s nothing on YouTube for the new/V3 yet. The original was a big box with the input gain trim on the inside. V2 was in a smaller format with a 20dB pre-gain switch on the outside.

This latest version has something a number of folks talked about - that input gain/boost function on a knob for fine tuning and a footswitch so it can be engaged and disengaged without having to bend down and stop playing. It gives a lot of folks a 2-for-1. And the clean blend is new, a la the Dirt Fixer.

Oh... So it has loops for the dirtfixer capabilities? If so I'm in!

Nope. The picture shows what you get. It's just a different voice/approach on the clean blend - there's somewhere in this thread where @father of fires mentions that the 'contoured' clean blend on the DF is voiced differently than the low passed clean blend on the original Loop Blender.

The Dirtfixer is kind of a platform on which multiple other new Damnation Audio pedals will be built. We have a new hardware design, power supply, and clean blend circuit that will be wrapped around other stuff we have in the works, including this updated MBD. MBD is our distortion and overdrive voice with our blend integrated. Dirtfixer lets you wrap our contoured clean blend around your other pedals and sculpt them with EQ. We really just want you to be able to do more with your gear for folks that have lots of stuff while also offering a super flexible bass drive for folks that are more of the "tuner and a dirt on stage" type of player.

600Hz which is the switch in the up position.

guess I’ll be sticking with my 1 and or 2. Pedal looks amazing @father of fires, great job! But I’m a switch down kinda guy. Still, very cool!!!

Interesting - Can you expand on why you like the down position over the up?

But I’m a switch down kinda guy.

They have pills for that.

@father of fires

Is this the long ago teased "MBD-1979",
Or simply the 3rd iteration of the MBD?
And the MBD-1979 being a separate pedal still in the works?

 

[father of fires]

The retro pedal is a different design. Coming eventually.

this is the next iteration of the MBD line.

This new MBD probably means I'll be able to go back to my Voodoo Labs Dingbat Tiny, assuming I can mount my Trutone CS6 underneath. I switched to a Pedaltrain Nano+ because I needed more room.

The CS6 will fit underneath. I use a Nano+ for some smaller setups.

I have one under my Nano+, but I'm wondering if I could move it to my Dingbat Tiny.

Ah got you, I misread. Hopefully it fits!

@father of fires @whoismarykelly Is there a release date for the new MBD? Is it August 26th?

 

[jcburn]

I've always wanted to try an MBD, but mostly interested in what it can produce in terms of low gain overdrive.... Kinda like overdrive sounds just before you get any "fizz" in the saturation. This isolated track is what I'm talking about (I realise the track is most likely a P bass, rounds, into a driven tube amp...)

Just waiting on a ship date for enclosures and then we'll launch. Plus we still need to make a demo and manual and such.

I prefer to use the MBD-2 as a low-gain overdrive versus a full distortion. It does an excellent job.

 

[Murph_Orpheus]

I'm intrigued to try out the new MBD with the Dirtfixer too.

 

[CoarseBass]

I'm intrigued to try out the new MBD with the Dirtfixer too.

Seems like that would be redundant given the new mbd clean blend/architecture.

 

[father of fires]

Redundancy pays the bills!
