Ha! I will say I’m typically ‘set-and-forget’ once I find it. Those were just my starting points to work from. Pretty close so far…
Likewise. I need a way to non-verbally communicate my approval of ideas in meetings…
I was testing my two latest pedal acquisitions and unintentionally stacked them. I can’t say I hate the result 
The Pam is a Geisha Drive clone by GojiraFX. It can do a nice warm OD sound with the tone and gain backed down. The MBD was surprisingly complimentary.

Pam Poovey! Does it make "Sploosh!" sounds?

Sploosh is on the side. Her back tattoo is on the back. I can’t Velcro it. I had to have it.
It sounds pretty good too.
I still need some headphone time to get a better sense of low end loss. On this demo of the circuit the pedal is based on they mention some low end loss, and they end up blending in a clean sound around 3:20. This is why I'm paritcularly interested in how the Dirt Fixer blend feels compared to the new MBD blend.
Speaking of “low end loss,” NOT getting any of that with the MBD!
Dang it. Never actually heard that pedal before... I think I need to add it to my Way Huge arsenal. Is my understanding correct that the Geisha and Drive pedals from Way Huge are identical?

My understanding from the bit of research I did is that the pedal is just called “Drive” but that’s so generic that users referred to it as “Geisha” or “Geisha Drive” based on the artwork. They’re out of the limited production run lifecycle so they go for a premium on Reverb, though they aren’t impossible to locate.
I like the pedal so far, and the blended sound in the demo with an unfiltered LS2 clean blend was pretty good.
I’ve been happy with the GojiraFX clones. I have a Tubescreamer with a bass boost, a Tonebender, and this one. They aren’t a bad price especially coming from across the pond. Plus you can get some custom artwork, if that’s your thing. Of course if you’re collecting Way Huge then you obviously are gonna want a Way Huge
Let's put it this way - I definitely want Way Huge, but can't always afford Way Huge... I had to get a Conquistador clone a while ago! And I thought I'd seen a few generic-looking "Drive" pedals out there with pretty much blank enclosures. I know Mr. Tripps likes his limited runs and different looks for the same pedals. I could also be imagining things!My understanding from the bit of research I did is that the pedal is just called “Drive” but that’s so generic that users referred to it as “Geisha” or “Geisha Drive” based on the artwork.

There seems to be a few variations in color and artwork if you look at reverb and the Dunlop Legay Product page. I found this in another forum.
I’ve been pretty happy pushing the MBD with it when running my Nordy Cat and my 18” scale half bass. It adds some flavor the boost doesn’t provide, but I suspect it’s likely cutting more lows than I might want, particularly when I go grab my 5er (still need to try).
I'll be looking forward to your findings, then. I definitely need my lows, as my main basses are a 5er and a 5er tuned down a whole step. I don't want any low end loss!
