Very similar to the BB. I'll find the link the link I shared in the breeder thread and post it here. I use it turned down a bit and it kills in the mix.

Here it is. He's got it cranked up but this will give you the idea.
Dungeon Master by Sound, Noise, and Tone - Hear the world’s sounds
Dungeon Master by Sound, Noise, and Tone - Hear the world’s sounds
Sounds awesome! It's ridiculous sounds like these that make me want to do a heavy drum/bass only band. I'd be worried about this in the mix myself, but man, it's gnarly solo!
Actually it kills in the mix. One of my current gigs has 3 friggin guitards. I slaughter with just an RH450 head and GK 410. That demo was recorded with a fretless and flats. My clean tone is bright so it sounds very mid heavy and just stands proud against the wall of orange and marshal. Add a Duality after and oh ya... Happy days.
Here is a pic of what I use.
Just added the Mammoth and Clarinot clone.
What flats/EQ are you using? My flats stand out in the mix, but they're definitely not bright. Didn't want bright, though I could probably EQ it that way if I wanted.
Can't get the pic to load. Oh well. Goes Dungeonmaster> Mammoth> Duality> Epitome> Clarinot> Particle. I use Dunlop super brights. I found that demo doing searches about that pedal before I bought it. Amp is set basically flat. DM settings are volume at 12 - bass at like 3 - highs at like -1 and drive at like 9 o'clock.
I just use Chromes. Don't like a lot of treble in my clean tones, so I start from the strings up. I figure just about any dirt can add treble content, so I only get dirt with treble I like! I will say, this demo made me try some new stuff on my Blower Box. We'll see how it hangs in the mix Wednesday during rehearsal. I typically set for mid-range bite since one guitarist likes to scoop and the other one typically does low end rhythm chugs, but we'll see how it goes. I've been pleasantly surprised before!
Don't most OD/Distortion pedals sound better with a pick anyway? I rarely use my fingers with them for the same reason...

My experience with dirt pedals is pretty limited. My OD sounds fine with fingers.
I disagree. Picks make most ODs I've tried harsh in my opinion. To get more "pick-like" bite, maybe up the treble just a hair?
I agree, it seems to prefer being fed a harsher sound such as that generated by a pick before it really opens up. Playing with fingers it's hard to get as much touch sensitivity as you can with other overdrives.
I have no complaints on my finger style tone with the BB. I still use a pretty heavy attack though.

Man you can literally spend a mint finding the right dirt pedal. For this, I thank you all for sharing your thoughts! $$
I'm late to this whole distortion fuzz deal.
I do like the grunge era of tones and other bands like TOOL. I'm was a drummer during that time period (so there's my lame excuse).

treble up bass down. Try it. See what happens.
I love ODs, dist and fuzzes with picks and fingers.
and I still love the BB. Love it.
