@gregmon79 , have you ever compared the B7K with the blend on 100% distorted in the bloop to the B7K with it's blend set closer to 50/50 and not in the bloop?

(or to anyone else who has experience with both pedals together)

I have not. Maybe I should.....

Just got my Rat Tail in the mail. Woo hoo, didn’t expect it this fast. This should tie my over till the curmudgeons get shipped out.

I’m now regretting that I didn’t get in on the curmudgeon preorder. :-(

I don’t know how many he’s sending out from the preorder but I’d imagine a few will pop up in the classifieds. Even the best pedals ever don’t work for certain people. I’m always super surprised when I see MBDs in the classifieds, so I don’t doubt some curmudgeons will pop up there as well.

I'm gonna build a few extra curmudgeons. Don't worry.

I went through a process of pairing down my dirt section to make room for an Explorer... and Damnation remains core to my tone.

The explorer looks like a little too much phaser for me, looks...overwhelming
You always have a top notch selection of dirt Matt.

I might be a bit late to the party, but I finally finished my PARA (llel) DRIVE, the bass version - and it's freakin' fantastic! Both sides sound amazing and mixing them gives soooo many shades of awesomeness.

There are also clipping options: LED-none-SI on the DIST and SI-none-GE on the DRIVE/BOOST. As I put sockets on the clipping switch lugs, I can try other stuff in there.
Any suggestions for diodes are welcome.

And I hope it's ok to have put the Damnation Audio Logo on there, as I like to dress up my dirt boxes a bit.
Thanks for putting out this PCB !!!

Awesome!! I just sent these ideas to my builder buddy

 

[Fuzzonaut]

Thanks guys!

I played it some more and it's a really great design, simple but very effective, good thing I've got another PCB ...

The 250 & Rat in the bloop loop gives me the tones I was searching for.
Excellent pedal the Bloop!

MBD-1 has a new lower gain/drive role and so far so good.

I might need a smaller pedal board.

 

[Matt Dean]

The Bloop is an amazing utility tool. I’ve got my Dunwich ODB and model feT currently running through it.

A Bloop is exactly what the 250 needed.

I need to revisit like all the dirt pedals I still have. Gonna try the bassmaster tomorrow. My 250. Bet it sounds awesome at higher gain settings where it starts to thin out up past 2/3 o’clock.

It really is pretty amazing. I ran my Bluebeard through it and now I feel like the Bluebeard sucks by itself

Yup it fixes the thin out with higher gain settings on the 250.
A really good bass drive grind with the low end not disappearing.

250/Rat combo in the loop is something you gotta try!

The Bloop/125b Volt Thrower combo is another super delicious pairing.
