I had intended it for guitar, which I've actually been playing very little of lately. I will be trying it on bass for sure though, and expect it should sound great with my Broughton Filter FX Loop.

Finally jumped in the Sushi game yesterday with a UA thanks to @el murdoque 's sales pitch. Excited to hear how it stacks up against my 2 other Fender Tone Stack tube pedals. The form factor is hard to beat, that's for sure, as well as the EQ bypass switch (hopefully!)
So, when I got the Westinghouse, I knew this was my favorite SB device so far. Then I got a Smoke Signal, and it was so close, but the UA mod pushed it over, it was my new favorite. Then I got a HW Lab Rat. It really sends me. My new favorite. What will I feel when my HW Dr. Wattson arrives? Golly gee I love a good processing device.
Yup. The DW and SS are neck and neck for me. I like the SS on active basses and the DW on passives, but it's not a meaningful difference, and may be the other way around for others.Oh, I think you’re gonna like Dr. H.W. Wattson!
If it sounds as mean as it looks, we’ll be in good shape.
If mean is what you're after, you got the right pedal.
It’s sounds great in my Broughton Filter FX Loop. I’m not sure it’s “right” for the gig tomorrow, but I’m going to practice with it tonight
I’m sitting on:
Lab Rat X
Deep Dish
Particle Accelerator X
Underground Accelerator X
Ambassador
Black Eye X
Hand Wired Lab Rat
Slampegg X
Sashimi
Echosaurus
JC Emerald
And Wrecking Ball X!!! (Is it The one and only?)
and born after the family photo
I’ve still not plugged the Black Eye on a bass. Do you like it? It’s great on guitar.
I want to try a Black Eye on guitar so bad. I miss having my Soldano amps but can't justify having them at my skill level or time spent playing guitar. Heck I can't even justify buying a Black Eye for it! I'd love to play one though, as there's just nothing like those Soldano amps! I got one of the AMT S-drive pedals which is supposed to be a Soldano SLO in a pedal..nope.
I personally have two Wrecking Ball X, but yours is the one and only that has ever left my basement.
I should sell it on Reverb for $6,500?
It’s pretty brash even with the gain at 9:00. I could see it working in some more aggressive settings, but for my classic(ish) rock gig this weekend I don’t think it’ll be the right sound. I also haven’t tried it without the clean blend loop either.
It could be modded to be more bass friendly (this is an informational statement, not an offer, please don't ask me I'm so busy), but stock it's not great for bass without a blend loop.
I'll make the request formal now: mix/blend/whatever knob please, with toggle for EQ change between guitar and bass
lol
Well I mean there's no way in hell another knob would fit in that box, plus a clean blend would require either another tube or the addition of a transistor or op-amp based buffer circuit. But if you just wanted more girth out of the Black eye you could swap the coupling caps for higher values. Stock uses 22nF which is typical for guitar preamps, I typically like to use 100nF for bass preamps.I'll make the request formal now: mix/blend/whatever knob please, with toggle for EQ change between guitar and bass
You're right...it needs to be in a smaller box!
