Love my pork loin to death, but I wouldn't call it grindy. It adds a subtler overdrive and fatness to the sound.

yeah pork loin would not be my first choice for grind and clang. something rat based or DG
I don’t know the 420, but I do have a GGG Deluge/muff. The GGG is super dark as built. I’ve added a 3 way diode switch to mine; the no diodes setting is brighter. I’ve also been using a Boss LS2 as a clean blend and been digging on a DOD Boneshaker for clank.
Thats not a bad idea. I was going to pull mine apart sometime to add a tone bypass switch and a clean blend sometime... I maybe I'll do that soon and add a diode selector and some other diode options as well.
The 420 is uh, interesting to say the least. by itself its not super good on bass and really hard to tame but it has a lot of really nasty gated fuzz sounds. I added a clean blend to mine set at unity gain and a blend between that and the outputs of the fuzz. I'm very happy with how it turned out and the overall usefulness of the pedal now, but its not the right sound for what we're doing now.
I swear by this thing but have a feeling I’m the only person in the world using it so it might not be as great as think it is.
The intro to this song I used it thru an SVT
Which GGG Muff variant do you have? I looked at doing some “tone” section mods to mine and discovered the “Deluge” as designed already has the tone un-scooped. I put a dpdt on/on/on switch im place of the first set of clipping diodes with none/2N5457’s/1N4148’s options. It’s on the bench right now - I think I’ll look into adding a blend.
Dang this thing looks cool (to me)
I built mine as the GGG-tuned version, with the tone just being a blend pot between a low pass filter and a high pass filter. Its suuuuuper dark sounding, so I might rework the board a little to either alter those filter values (or make adjustable filters!) or add a bypass or something.
Had to wonder as I never saw a Crate stack quite that old. And the head box was tall for a SS amp. Kinda dig the wood panelling 'accent' though. I'd rock it
Buwahaha. I just saw that thing on CL. I kinda wonder how it sounds...
Does that make it a 5 piece with 3 guitars? If so that sounds kinda thick...

I'd echo this if you want to give it a go without lots of cash thrown down. I have one and can also attest to the insane amount of clank you can dial in. I think the Gunslinger and dod250 that @cornfarmer and @gfen said would also do it real well without breaking the bank. It's crazy how full and how much high end those dod circuits bring. Real unique sounding and honestly I think they're better for not having a blend. Love how simplistic they are.
Never seen it but looks rad. I've been meaning to try the giganteum drive, sounds great on guitar and I dig the flavor.
Oh and @Batsquatch I've never even been in a real 4 piece, unless you count random jams. Sounds difficult though if it's 3 guitars, each of you will have to find a range to occupy.
I looked around TB and gen pop says they sound pretty good for what they are. If that cab is in good shape and the drivers aren't shot it's probably a steal. I bet they would take $200. I would snag it but I have enough crap to make 3 stacks already
