HPF is a good idea and likely what it is, BUT
I think it's a Chorus, knob is the rate, switch is a 3 way depth toggle.

Just to say that the Single Slice and the Kubicki are having a torrid love affair. And the More into the Studio One is a subtle, but highly gratifying pairing.
Have you heard the band that is testing the pedal ?
They aint playing Dixie that's for sure,

Is your favorite movie "Crocodile Dundee" ???
That aint a knob, this is a knob.
Well done good sir.
Doug Weiand is the guitarist for Edge of Paradise, and he likes the way More tightens up his high-gain amplifier, but with 7 and 8-string guitars there was a little too much rumble, so he requested an HPF to tame it a bit. Sort of a "guitar-version" of More.
I said less exciting than a drive and your mind went to chorus???
That was me willing my desires into existence. Tube Chorus would be awesome!
It was once "a thing" in a sushibox.....but Glass Butterflies are rare birds on the used market. I love mine and it is a mystery to me why it didn't catch on to a greater degree.
The aesthetic of the More just screams BIG KNOB to me. I’ve been holding on to that one for a few decades, wondering if I’d ever find an application.
I'm definitely the wrong person to answer that, but hopefully someone else can jump in. I guess the questions will be what else is going on in your setup and what would you be hoping to accomplish by adding a More?
It depends on your tone goals and the rest of your chain. I don't think a MORE would ever be too much, it'll just be more. It can a fun way to add more tubey gain ahead of some dirt or overdrive. The harmonic richness that it adds rarely detracts from anything you're trying to do.
Just wanted to stop by and give a shout to Nathan @Sushi Box FX
I have never enjoyed a pedal more, than my "More". I can't say enough about the pedal. But sadly mine started acting up and then quit working properly altogether. Now I bought this pedal in Apr of 2024. I figured I was out of luck because it probably only had a one year warranty. But Nathan stepped up to the plate and said he would look at it. So I packed it up and shipped it to him. That was 2 or 3 weeks ago. During that time we've talked a couple of times and I told him when the More was fixed, I wanted to order a Single Slice Compressor and they could both be shipped at the same time.
Today I get an email from Nathan telling me that he hasn't been able to pinpoint the issue. So instead of having me wait he's just going to send me a new More, and of course I ordered a Single Slice Compressor to ship with it. I'm stoked! I also got the new Mesa Boogie Bass 800D today too. So I'm really stoked. The "More" was the 2nd most important pedal on my board. It's going to be great to have one back in the signal chain. It worked great with my D-800+ head, I suspect things will be no different with the 800D head.
Thanks again Nathan for not only making some fantastic pedals but also for your business integrity and outstanding customer support and for being a part of the TB community.

So it is a More with a step up. MoreOver ??
Do you have a name for the pedal yet or can we have a "Name That Pedal" contest ????

Could keep the More part of the name and call it "More & Less", less of course for the HPF part of the pedal.
The intention is to keep the name More and just add a label, like I did for Finally when it became a With Bass In Mind affiliation, but I haven't really finalized it yet.
Maybe with this color scheme?What about More High ???
For the higher tones on the HPF and not any other sort of high of course
It's actually different, I keep forgetting to go back and do the math on it.
Technical Content Warning - Proceed only if you're into that sort of thing
The 90Hz -6dB/octave filter is a passive RC (resistor-capacitor) filter, but the way I'm doing this on More is by changing the cathode bypass capacitor, which affects the frequency response of the tube gainstage itself. This is how I did the Bass Boost in Black Eye II and the Deep switch on JC Emerald, I'm just doing it backwards on More, taking away low end instead of adding it. I did some math during the design, but I didn't take into account the fact that More has parallel gainstages, which affects the frequency response and the math isn't as straightforward as it is for a single gainstage. The filter value I chose based on my calculation was subtle to the point of being inaudible, so I tuned it by ear until I was happy with the effect.
Because of this I'm thinking about calling it a "bass cut" instead of an HPF. They obviously mean the same thing, but if you say HPF people expect you to know the cutoff frequency and slope, but if you just say bass cut nobody seems to care about the numbers
