Fender Sub-lime bass fuzz

I sound like a broken record, but my eternal search for the right fuzz box came to an end when I got this pedal. I think you'll be happy with it, I'd be curious to get your thoughts after you've had some time to use it for awhile.

And man, you don't even wanna see my pedal board....it's a small-ish Gator Pedal Tote & I have the Sublime and a Morley Dual Bass Wah (another beast!). And that leaves just enough room for my VT Bass & a tuner. To me it's worth it though.

Congrats on the purchase, enjoy!

I will be sure to report back. :)

I haven't tried too many fuzz pedals, but I've had or still have: EH Metal Muff, EQD Hoof, Barber Trifecta, Verellen Big Spider, modded RAT, Guttermouth Catastrofuzz (I think), Juggernaut, EQD Monarch, Russian Muff, Musket, Twosome, DAM Meathead....probably a few I forgot.

I'm not exactly looking for a specific OD, distortion or fuzz....just something good in the dirt area.

I've also tried or have: Bassdrive, TS9DLX, EQD White Light, EQD Chrysalis, Tubeworks Blue Tube, VT Bass, MXR DI+, Mesa Bottle Rocket, SD1, DS1, and probably some I forgot.

My favorites are the RAT, White Light, Catastrofuzz, and Big Spider (but it's noisy). The Blue tube is cool, but better as a preamp...something to warm up SS tone than a drive pedal IMO.

I've got an Attack Goat on the way too......:rollno:

When I heard the demos for the Sub-Lime....I was like....."THAT"S IT!"...that's what I've been after!
blendable natural OD/fuzz with lots of low end.

I really hope it works out.

Here's a good reference for size.. My shoe is a 14eeee and I included different pedals for comparison

Reviving this post on the off chance anyone has a schematic or even decent photos of the boards?
I had one way back when but got rid of it due to the sheer MASS of the thing. If I can find one again i'd probably consider getting it re housed. It does look fricking awesome though.
