fwiw I paid $30 and $40 for my milk boxes (I own two), on greek craigslist.
I guess I should feel happy cause the prices of music gear here are way jacked up compared to yours.
Normally I get great deals on FX. My stereo bass chorus was $15. $20 for my EQ, bi-fet amp was $40, and the stereo bass flanger was $40 pre shipping. The Milkbox was a tax paid for those deals
Try compression and enhance at 11, attack all the clockwise, and level to taste
I know it's been discussed before, but what are the differences between the FX10 BiFET and 410 BiFET? Might be picking one or the other up, and just curious. If I remember correctly, some people can't tell the difference and some swear one is clearly better, but which is which? I have an old FX10 which I love, but if they're the same, I'll just grab whichever one I can find cheaper quicker. Thanks as always!
We changed/added the following to the BIFET Boost 410:
True Bypass
Added LED
Added Power Filtering
Added Standard PSU Jack
Switchable Buffer
Changed Taper Of Level Pot to allow for unity gain
Better Tolerance Parts

Is that it? I swear some people say that one is "better" than another. Not that that means anything as people can hear many things that aren't necessarily provable, but just wanting to be sure. Thanks for the quick response.
Yep, that's it.
There was a rumor floating around for while that the updated one didn't have the "tilt" EQ, it is untrue.

Thanks for the info, I was curious about the similarities/differences myself!
I'm almost certain it's a part-for-part remake of the original. If there's any difference in sound it could be from the better spec parts used in the reissue.
I've been looking at OD pedals and the FX91 has caught my eye. Can anyone tell me about them. I'm looking for something that does mild to medium OD.
Ok, got a Boneshaker. I know there's was a depth mod offered at one point. Anybody know if it's still available, or what it is? Could I do it myself? Is it something that I can look at the pedal and find out if it's already been done?
How is it as is?? Everyone raved about that pedal after it got blown out @ $40. No one really said nada about it when it was released. Still pretty curious about it. What do you think??
It'll def do mild OD. I liked it. But at the settings I ran it at, it was a noisy pedal. But I bought mine used too. It was good. I much preferred the fx50b. That one is fun fun. Lots more gain too.
Official verdict was the depth knob is "working as intended" from release... I found mine pretty much too tame to make a difference much.
Overall it was too Noisy and loss of low end for what I was using for playing in low B... devastated I paid so much for it too ( 300 aud) when it was price dumped not long after!

It will predominantly be used for my guitar rig, but I quite like it so far. A buddy had one for a bit, and it's a tweaker's delight. Lots of tones in that little box. Right now, it's being used for a stoner-y distortion-fuzz. I don't think it will replace anything on my board, but is flexible enough and sounds pretty darn good to keep around. Especially since I did the $40 thing.
As with many other pedals, if I didn't have such a great dirt selection, this would be a top-notch contender. It really is great! I knew I would like a combo of DOD and BAT, so I needed to try one. I wish I needed only a single dirt sometimes, as I could make this work in most situations. As it stands, it's 95% as good as any of my current dirt pedals, but not quite there. I prefer the others for their tones. This can approximate my Pharaoh, FatMetal (which it may eventually replace), and Pork Loin (all of those are in my guitar rig). It can't quite do my high gain Metal Shaman.
This far, the depth seems to do nothing. I may try to mod it as JohnK mentioned in a different thread, as he mentioned (and others have also found) that it was wired incorrectly (or can at least be improved upon) from the factory.
I'll try it on bass tomorrow.
Right, it was working as intended, but JohnK has modded it to get a more dramatic depth effect. I feel like he's n to something with that mod.
Cool. Thanks for that. I was pretty bummed when i couldn't hop on the steal deal, but now I'm like, ok. Cool. I can do without. Would still like to try one someday. It seems pretty awesome. I'm so happy with my dirt section right now it wouldn't much matter unless it absolutely blew me away. Kinda like you.
In other news I took the carcosa off my board. That lasted like 2 days. See, I got the DG alpha/omega. Holy crap is that the bees knees as far as bass dirt is concerned. It's pretty amazing. And I felt like I could cut down on my dirt section a little. So the carcosa came off. But honestly, I can't not recognize what the carcosa does in a live band mix. It totally maims and pillages. I'm actually thinking Of swapping out the muff I'm using for it and using the carcosa in that role. It does a convincing muff to my ear and it cuts better than any muff I've had or tired. So I think it may be my "muff" fuzz for a bit.
