Just sold my Vitriol, I bust a gut getting one and the sold it within a week. Gutted.
Cool site, thanks manJust mosey on over to Dunwich amps site and you'll be in heaven. Or is it hell?
Always have fancied a P&c thanks man
HIC!
I have a three levels of dirt at the moment using my darkglass duality, darkglass b7k ultra, tech 21 sans amp RBI. I use the ins and outs on the RBI to run the RBI and b7k ultra parallel to each other.
Clean tone is b7k ultra with distortion switch off and sans amp RBI with a little grit. I mainly use that tone on ballads like this one.
My main overdrive sound that I use to cut through heavy guitar parts is the same except I turn on the distortion footswitch on the b7k ultra.
My over the top dirty tone is the duality fuzz which goes into both the RBI and the b7k ultra (with dirt off)
I'll be able to post more sound samples in a couple weeks when the album is mixed if anyone is interested. Here's all the settings I use
Some sort of bit crusher, I know I'd like one that does the job better than the one in the Zoom B3, though with a bit of ring modulation and additional effects added it can get pretty odd 8 Bit computer game soundtrack glitch like.
A Fender Blender clone, the nastiest, harsh, ugly, broken kind of over the top out of control fuzz I ever heard. An electronic engineer friend of mine promised me to build one for me sometime later this year.
Maybe a Hartke HF44 Bass Fuzz, not as special as the other pedals I suggested, but it has this sort of punchy raw mid focused sound to it.
Some samples can be heard here (try the metal, doom and rock ones): Invalid Link Removed
Finally I would recommend the EHX Operation Overlord overdrive pedal, that does a great gnarly high gain overdrive/distortion thing, according to this demo (bass starts at 2:59):

For a super versatile budget dirt pedal check out the VHT V Drive. Can do a ton on its own but works great with other pedals for extra tweakability. Lately I have been using it into fuzz pedals and the depth control alone can make a huge difference to the fuzz's tone, it basically lets you fine tune the low end response which changes how the highs and mids behave, maxed out and you get a deep muff like tone and all the way down and you just get mids and highs for a super open tone. There are 11 depth settings so you can get anything in between too.
Nah man, no disrespect intended but I can't get on with digital thangs like that.
Sold my Source Manta because I'm strictly a knob tweaker.
Played a storming gig tonight.
I had my Joyo OJ on all night at quite a modest setting, boosted by my Rat Tail during a couple of numbers.
Last track of the night I had both of them going and then stepped on my Fredric Green Russian,sounded AWESOME.

Woah!
Niiiiiiiice!!!
Prefer the enclosures with ODB on tho!
Sound clips are killer
I think this may have just made my shortlist
