My new one, I expected bigger changes due to me getting a Squeeze Factor and Omega Fuzz but they aren't really working out for me.

Enjoy

I've got the huckleberry and 442 in the Mobius so I can turn them both on and off at the same time, makes synth sounds easier.

The best filter I've tried except for an Original Mutron

Just for reference I've own:
MXR Bass Auto Q
EBS Bass IQ
DOD FX25
DOD FX25b
Guyatone Bottom Wah Rocker
Boss AW-2
Digitech BSW

and I've tried
EHX Mini Q-Tron
EHX Q-Tron and Plus
Jacques trinity wah
Xotic Robotalk
EMMA Discumbobulator
Original 70's Mutron

Here is an older sound clip Link Removed of me playing the 442 I have just today done some new ones for the tonefactor website so I'll link those when they get hosted.

Hope this helps

I sold that one, but I want to get another to replace it. The OS is all about the bias control. Most people will find a "middle" point where the OS doesn't distort and the squish is mild and transparent. Some makers even mark that bias point next to the knob. I liked to get a little distortion sometimes, and a little extra squish, so I would adjust the bias for that. The Gain knob is just gain, it doesn't impact the character of the compression noticeably- I would set it for unity gain, or a slight boost.

I liked my VTP OS clone quite well, but I want to try one of the other makers. Topping my list are Aramat, ProTone, T.Miranda, and GGG. Actually I'm not positive the T.Miranda is an OS clone, but I suspect it is.

To get a wider range of intense squish from an OS, try putting some sort of boost or hot signal in front of it. For more transparency, try to put a less-boosted/less hot signal in front.

Ok. The board looks good (as usual), but you really should learn to resize images ;) :p :D

Quite the list of filters you've tried too! :eek: You should be known as the King of Filters, long lost cousin to Tplyons, the King of Muff! :D

Smaller pictures take away from the impact of the pedals and the amazing colours on them as well and how else would you steal my settings

Thanks for the advice I might try it after my ebs then and use it more for its tonal properties, one of the things I like about the Squeeze Factor is that internal bias control is on the outside, makes it much easier to get a great tone.

Thanks

Wow, six Tone Factor pedals on your board, plus you bought two more that you ended up not using. Do they have a "frequent buyer club" you could join? Like, buy ten pedals and get one free?

What can I say, the pedals are great, well built, sound excellent, look excellent and are pretty cheap and the customer service great.

I am replacing the Tone Factor boost with the newest tone factor boost when it's finished as the hellbaby is a so sensitive to the slightest control change so I need something more consistent.

I've gone through a hell of alot of pedals as most people on here will tell you, so it says alot that I have so many from one brand, trust me its the first time I've ever liked a company this much.

I'm going to give my spare pedals another go since I'm not happy with the whole mobius thing, it's basically there for me to have 2 more blue led's on the board and its positioning makes it odd for just turning on 2 pedals. So expect mine to change tonight again :help:
