Question about Malekko B:assmaster

[Amokoma]

I just received 3 of your pedals, Malekko: two (one of each) ecco 300s and one dark ecco 600. So far I've only tried the 600, but it's excellent. I especially dig the biamp-feature! Good show, old boy.
BTW, when will the Erectus be ready? Do you have any other FX-ideas brewing, like a overdrive/flanger/compressor/ringmod?

I'm not Malekko, but I'm 99.9% sure that unity gain is always a variable thing. It depends on the other settings.

EDIT: One last thing to mention... what bass you're using can also affect what the unity gain setting is.

Ah, right! That makes sence thanks bro!

The B:assmaster is my favourite fuzz by far i have it paired with a vintage maestro super fuzz and a slight chorus type effect from my stereo memory man and its pure gut wrenching heavyness, i love it!

Hi there!
Is the 'bass' volume supposed to be toally clean?

I ask this, because when I turn down the ass volume on my B:assmaster, the tone is still slightly overdriven, so a little low-end is lost. It's almost clean, but not completely...

Or are all units like this and is this how it's supposed to work?

Thanks!

damn you bought a b:assmaster and intend to not use it for the fuzz?

 

[BobaMosfett]

Of course I bought it for the fuzz, but also for the ability to blend in the clean signal. But it turns out that's missing a little low-end because of the slight overdrive...

IIRC, it's supposed to be like that on both volume knobs. Neither can go to 0% or 100% wet/dry. The original Brassmaster is like that, too.

The Prescription Electronics Depth Charge - which is also somewhat based on an old Brassmaster, IIRC - has the same "issue" with its Blend knob; you can't get a purely clean or 100% fuzzy signal.

It's not a bug - it's a feature.

Thanks, Boo!

I suspected it was a 'feature', just had to make sure it isn't a faulty one...

Oh well, the nastier the better in this case, I guess.
