And I LOVE this thing... if only it had better bass retention. Definitely loses lows, but the distortion sounds great! Any bass-friendly clones/mods out there?

I have one modded to the OG grey box specs. Use it as an always on grit for my super clean dunwich preamp. Love it, jelps me to unlock my inner little Al.
And to be clear Id ask $200 for a fully serviced, 9/10 condition and take $150. So it would be a good deal if you could get gas taken off that.
Dont know whether theres any difference between circuits but Distortion and Harmonics are what the controls are labeled.
Here is what I was talking about.

Looks like the 6 input has its dirt labeled "Harmonics".
Whereas the 4 input has its dirt labeled " distortion. "
Oh yeah that. Thats actually a fuzz, the slope on the 4 input is the distortion on the 6 input. Because the 6 input gets a master vol and slope that affects both channels.
Speaking of on-board SS Peavey distortion, I'm not too keen on my F800's built-in OD. I did once get a tone I liked, I think by running an El Oso into the head with the head's OD cranked.
What ive found with peavey on board fuzzes, distortions and ods, is that you really have to crank the head up passed noon to make it really shine. Jave fun with that f800.

It sadly, should be surprising. There can't be a "peaceful revolution". The racism runs deeply here, not to mention it's taboo enough that these people balk at the notion of being called racist. I just hope that in 15 years we see real change within the hegemonic structure.

I have a 4 input version and it is a great head. the distortion side seems much louder than the normal side. the distortion is gnarly in a torn speaker velcro ripping way.
the 6 input is cool because you can cascade the channels in series mode.
My Ibanez Screaming Demon jr. Wah stopped allowing the signal to pass through it. Lights up but the guitar signal was intermittent through it then cut off the signal completely. Tried it out of the chain and with several different cables. Any ideas? My guess is a bad jack, or maybe that automatic on/off when the treadle is used is jazzed up, no click on or off on my unit. I don't even dig wah that much but the little one likes to use it while I play.
oooh la la

I just got a message on Soundcloud from someone searching for their birth parent. I guess they somehow found their way to my account because he has the same last name and lived in the same apartment building I used to 6 years ago (different unit though). I dunno if it was some kind of spam/scam thing or what, but that was really weird. I just told them sorry, never known anyone by that name and not related to them to my knowledge, but good luck with their search.
Maybe they just wanted to believe they had a genetic predisposition for the ability to write sweet riffage.
