Good thing I haven’t wired my board up yet, I’ll move it to the top row after the dirt

Initial playthrough with my Nash P with Novak Vintage P, with fingers I like a bunch of settings, with a pick wow does this pedal take on a whole new dynamic.

Positions:
1 open almost bloom to the notes
3 boost and grind, meaty
4 third time especially with pick was just F)(*&^% outstanding
5 Keep coming back to this one, with a pick it really kills
7 wow just wow
9 love with a pic, upper register just came alive, so musical
12 (Ryan you should just make a boost pedal of this setting)

I dropped into Deluxe Guitar in Melbourne today (where I am visiting for the week) to try out a few pedals that no one stocks near me, but that I've been curious about. There were a few there I would've loved to have purchased, but I only had the cash to get one. The Fuzzrocious LunaReclipse came out on top though, loved some of the tones it had, and using it to reclip other pedals was great. Only problem is that I won't be home to use it again now until Sunday.

Thank you! Yeah, with a pick, dirt pedals usually take on a new, exciting life. The mids and treble pops out to bring brightness and presence.
Yeah, setting 5 is rad. Asymmetrical clipping tends to do that where it clips differently on the top and bottom of the waveform.
haha setting 12 is a simple lpb-1 style boost to attenuate volume. You can get 'em super cheap used or make one easily with vero/perf board.

shhhh you need to make more money, don't tell us it's simple
Some dirt with a pick gets to be a little much, I found those settings above to be a bit more eye opening than usual, I'm hooking up to the rest of the board this week, looking forward to fleshing out some songs

Wow! So glad the luna was "it" for you!!!

The great thing about the luna is that the grind still feels really natural since diode clipping pushing a simple transistor is doing all the distortion work. Just feels right .

I haven’t had a chance to play much lately (which isn’t good considering we’re recording next week, but works been getting in the way), but did stumble across this video from another brand. It’s a tone I had been chasing for a while. Any suggestions on which setting on the Luna would nail this, before I get a chance to try for myself?

Any of them, pretty much besides the germanium settings. Depends on your bass, amp, cab, and attack style.

Wow the 12 o'clock setting on this reallly makes me re-understand how awesome a boost is for you're other dirt pedals!

Yep, while I've occasionally used other settings, the clean boost has become an important part of my live tone.

So I'm a dummy and preordered one of these because I loved the concept. Sadly, it sat in my practice room until I re-did my pedalboard yesterday. I had never even fired it up (hence the dummy).

Threw it in front of my bass OD in the boost setting, and am kicking myself for waiting so long. Like someone said, it quickly became an integral part of my signal chain on my last gig. Perfect for punching parts up, and knocking things up "to 11."

I'm sure that I'll eventually run through all of the settings, but just FOR THE BOOST ALONE, this thing is amazing me. It's been a better single knob boost than any of the half dozen others I've liked on guitar, but couldn't work into my bass rig.

Kind of funny some were complaining about not all of the settings working. I have a TON of one-hit-wonders on my boards, that cost way more than the Lunareclipse. Well done Ryan. Next time, I'll open the box faster.
