Hey, good enough for Tony Levin.. Good enough for me!



Marc

I've said it 100 times. What may work for some may not work for others. I was just giving my opinion on it based on personal experience. Also to be honest I don't think that demo sounds good either.

What type of speakers were you using to listen to Tony Levin's clip? ..Either way, I am sure that neither Tony nor I are greatly bothered by your dislike of the EHX Deluxe Muff.

Carry on,

Even Tony Levin can't make that pedal sound good....

Your entitled to you're opinion. For what it's worth I feel the same way about DG pedals.. I'm content to share opinions with Tony Levin (EHX) and JohnK (DG)..

The speakers were good enough and I never implied that either of you should be. Just as I could give two three or even four sh*ts if you shared my opinion on the pedal.

As you should be. Just as most should be content with their own opinions and those of people they respect.

You are obviously an enlightened, highly developed life-form. I bow to your keen intellect! Carry on...

I think the Darkglass VMT is the way to go. Sounds a bit more natural to me then the B3K. EHX Bass Soul Food didn't do much for me, too little gain on tap and just sounded kind of "dry". Keep the blend around 11 oclock on the VMT and you'll have an excellent OD while still preserving your bass tone. IMO, IME, etc...

 

[mmbongo]

Yeah +1 on a Darkglass pedal. They are phenomenal! Can't get a bad sound out of any of them

Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B. About 3 mins into the 2nd video clip here, he starts doing some of the lower gain settings.

Too dirty?

hype-tastic! Certainly explains why I got rid of all mine

...i know they work well for some. not my cup of tea.

Yeah if you do want a bad sound, EHX is a much better choice

You sir, are a gentleman, a scholar and ALL wise! I defer to your sageness!

Why are you being such a snarky boy? Sorry you like EHX and some of us don't.
Let's get back to helping the OP instead worrying who's gonna get the last word in.

Seems like the sounds the OP is after are more fuzz-based, which isn't the DG sound IME. Not saying he wouldn't like what they do, but I don't think they do what he's asking about.

 

[Moosehead1966]

Snarky because the tone of respondents IS sarcastic. I'm snarky and their sarcastic and condescending.. Tit for freakin' tat! ..

P.S. I'm not boy! that passed a long time ago unfortunately.

Due out soon is the Aguilar Fuzzistor. There isn't much out there as far as clips go, but this has some sounds I look forward to getting my hands on

A guy asks for help and this devolves into a childish argument...thanks, guys, for reminding me why I'm around here much less.

Relax gentlemen.. All is okay! We can now extrapolate on the virtues of flat wound versus round wound.
