Fuzzrocious Club - Sextuplet

Hi

I recently purchase a Grey Stache on Talkbass. The back of the unit says 030. Not sure if its a serial number or not.

The reason I am posting is that I am not sure of a few items.

1) The left foot switch. I am not sure what this does. It seems to be momentary switch. Can anyone tell me what it's doing?

2) The 3 position mini toggle. I am not hearing any change . Does anybody know what this does?

3) When I turn the Tone Control ( middle knob to max) with the mid control to zero ( all the way to the left) is cuts off. Is that normal ?

I'd appreciate any info.

I tried contacting the person I got it from but his inbox is full.

Try the website:

http://www.fuzzrociouspedals.com/

There should be a page for an instruction manual on it. That pedal seems to have a lot of mod options so it could be a number of things. I'm sure someone that knows better than I will chime in here sooner or later.

send Ryan an email at [email protected] he usually responds reasonably quickly and is always super helpful.

I didn't think I was going to use the rat king as much as I have when I first got it. I'm finding that it goes very good with flanger, vibrato and especially delay and delay type effects. It's really quite diverse for me.

I've been very pleasantly surpised by the tone of it when I roll off my tone knob on my bass too. I don't (currently) run filters or modulation, but I could definitely see it sounding awesome for that
 
You know a pedal is great when the 6 week GAS honeymoon for a pedal ends and you are still in love with it. Such is the case with my Demon. So many dirt pedals have come and gone. This one is the real deal and is here to stay. Nice work Ryan.

Likewise, I'm using my Rat Tail in my effects loop to drive my chorus and phaser (and whatever else I decide to stick in there). I originally just wanted it as a volume boost to counteract the loss those pedals cause, but the extra raspy top-end works well with the swirly, whooshy stuff.[1]
