Sunnday Drive X... How does the tone stack compare with the UAX ?
Click to expand...
They're both Fender-style stacks so they have the same topology, so a determined person with a soldering iron could get them to be identical, but as-is the Sunnday Drive stack is brighter than the UA stack, the UA has more low end.

Ha, it was probably my blackout. Evil is as evil does.

It was actually :P I got it sorted around 11:30PM, but it had me thoroughly vexed for a bit. Turned out a resistor didn't have enough solder on it and had popped off and needed to be put back, but man it took me way too long to see it.

Imagine a world... a world where a certain pedal exists. A pedal that has been spoken of, and talked about. A pedal with a design that totally exists in the ethereal realm, but has yet to be committed to the banality of a circuit board layout. Now imagine build slots being available for purchase, yet the reality of the previously mentioned pedal are not yet available. This is not because they have not been added to the line up, but because they will be a "one off" product. Being the dreamer that I am, I envision a world where I purchase the slot knowing that the mythical pedal could be ages away from its actual birth, yet hoping beyond hope that I can perpetually roll that slot over from one month into the next (with the support of the secret society of course) into the infinite future when the Gods' deem the world worthy of that pedal. Let us discuss the practicality or impracticality of such a thing occurring. I dare not speak the name, but I will say the initials might be HWSH. Or SHHW. If you do not know of what I speak, please move on and ignore this post, as it has no meaning for you. If you are privy to the fable, you may join the discussion.

That is interesting. Is there a substantial difference in low end?

To ask in another way: Is the Sunnday Drive lacking in low end?

I don't consider Sunnday Drive to lack low end at all, UA just has the fattest low end of any of my pedals. Nobody would ever refer to Sunnday Drive as thin sounding, it just doesn't get neighborhood shaking rumble. I'll admit that I rarely if ever turn the bass control on UA above 12 o'clock as it gets too boomy for me and drowns out things like kick drum and floor tom in a mix. I've never had a problem getting a usably rich low end from Sunnday Drive.

Yeah man, every time I think that I am approaching GAS-freedom ...

Think if your house as a vessel and your bank account + your next paycheck as constraints.
(P)edals are a function of (V)olume and (T)emperature, volume being every available shelf space in your closet or nooks created by placing your amp diagonally in the corner of a room, temperature being the rate at which your SO notices the rate of change of your collection. Simply put, the pedal collection grows as you make more space to store them and keep your wife from stepping on them.
Pedals typically exist in a state known as "Ideal GAS". The concave boundary in the isometric grid below shows the Ideal GAS Surface which are the points that a consumer's resources change state from liquid asset to pedal.

Proof that the universe is circular ... Mini Humbucker in P90 housing. P90 in Humbucker housing. These are probably 15 years old at this point. Made by an old buddy, Pete Biltoft at Vintage Vibe guitars.

For me it's been Tele's with mini-humbucker in the neck and beefed up bridge pickup... as my fav raunchy blues machines.
