New and somewhat amazing dirt lineup. I bought a Bloop and paired it with the 125B Volt Thrower and scheisse!, I’m in love with rats again.

That Linden EQ looks awesome. But I think I'd rather go after the Whirlwind 10 band. That thing is amazing. I could easily ditch all my preamps and tone shaping for it.

Me
Can’t wait to hear when they’ve shipped.

Not really a rat anymore but I bet it still rips.

You’re probably right, but I think I’ll use it more in live music with the Bloop. My distorted tone has been evolving the past year... where my bass tone sounds more like bass. No, I’m not going to end up not using effect, especially distortion, but I want more of a foundation of bass in the mix.

Pretty monstrous lineup. FET, Darkglass X, MBD-1, that is pretty brutal. Booted the Wizard off your board?

I still have the Wizard, but I’m pretty ADD and change up the higher gain devices to escape boardom. I use the feT as a dirty pre and feed higher gain devices into it. I use the X as a medium gain drive with a clean bass foundation. I use the MBD as an OD and the VT more like a fuzz.

I love the Linden... that into the Hyper Luminal and OmniCabSim does my clean tone. Sometimes I add some model feT Sunn tone for some grit.

So, according the manual sheet, the SND is buffered. I’m assuming that I can remove my buffered tuner and rely on the Bloop to buffer my signal.

Also, I’d anyone using the Bloop as an always on pedal? I’m finding that my clean tone is better with the Bloop on.

I’d really like to get a hyper luminal too. Eventually.

What's the Curmudgeon?

 

[TodaysTomSawyer]

What's the Curmudgeon?

From the Damnation site: "The Curmudgeon is a Solid State Power Amp (Lead Sled) distortion effect that takes your incoming signal, multiplies it by 1000, and slams it into a simulated power amp. This simulated power amp features two parallel stages that are mixed and loaded down just enough for them to struggle to breathe. This gives you multiple stages of solid state amp coloration and distortion..."

Scheisse... that sounded so sexy!

In case anyone wondered what a stacked MBD into a Rat Tail in the Bloop loop sounds like.

Holy crapola, that sounds so incredibly awesome. It just sounds...angry. What kind of bass is that there? Hard to see.

Thanks! It’s a 2013 Gibson EB.

Sounds nasty. Makes me excited for my Rat Tail to get here. The wait is killing me.

Very nice!!

Yup, always on. Constant beef.

Yup. Always on. My always on pedals consist of the bloop, the mbd, Whirlwind bass Eq and the ISP decimate.

I use mine on at all times. It's great. Adds a really nice girth to my tone. It's awesome. So not only do I get that low passed blended clean to my dirt that's in the loop, I get it to my whole signal.

I'm also an "always on" bloop user.
