Also make sure Ultra Lo is off. Different models of the Slampegg have off as either up or down. You want the louder position.

And we shall name it ... The Sixpegg
Actually, to borrow from Denny's breakfast menu, it should be called the "Grand Slampegg".
I just scored a Robot Butterfly from the classifieds for my smaller board. The contrast between it and G-Butterfly is dramatic...the latter has much more high end clarity.......it sounds "glassier" to me.

Are the 8 assigned mod FX on RB located at the same positions as on G-Butterfly? It sounds that way to me (and the processor is the same), although I'm not too sure about the chorus? Sorry to bother with this but I do not see the info in the Box archives under RB.
Thx

Getting a new 12AT7 tube tomorrow for the Red Channel for my Dreamcatcher. Which side should I replace to affect only the red channel?
And when I replace, should I wear gloves? Don't know if it's similar to car headlights that will overheat from oils on your fingers.
Also, will I need to adjust the blue pot for the red channel? Assume that is tube bias or something else I don't understand.

The tube on the right in your picture is the one that only affects red channel.
You don't need to wear gloves, you can change tubes with bare hands. Make sure power is unplugged and the tube has cooled down, but otherwise pretty easy and straightforward.
The blue trimpot is the master attenuation and it affects both channels. You only need to adjust it if the pedal doesn't get loud enough (turn the pot clockwise) or is too loud (turn it counterclockwise). Preamp tubes use a fixed bias, no adjustments will ever be necessary.
My DC is in transit. I am eager to hear your impressions after swapping the red channel tube for an AT7. I'm not
into heavy OD and want the DC mainly to have available 2 channels........ 1 "almost" clean with a bit of bass boost, and the other channel with moderate OD and both bass and treble boosted.
I'll report back my findings, but that's pretty much what I'm going for too.
Rewired my TA Solo18 pb to accommodate MORE…
Anybody have a UA and Elementary? Would you be able to describe their similarities and differences?
Bonus points if you also have a Lab Rat. I’m wondering if that high mid peak is still present or if it disappeared when the Baxandall EQ was replaced the traditional tone control.

I don't have an answer to your question (though I obviously do own all 3 if nobody else does), but this may be a good time to let people know that Lab Rat hasn't had any orders in a few months and may be going away soon.
I think that's the only one actively at risk right now, but others that have had dwindling numbers and are being monitored include Dr. Wattson (between Elementary and Detective it's starting to feel superfluous), Glass Butterfly, and Echosaurus Valve (tubes and digital together are neat, but both of these are admittedly things I wanted for myself and not so much things customers have been asking for).
I do have a couple things I'm excited about working in, so it's getting to be a good time to thin out the lineup in favor of new sexiness. Things I'm working on, more or less in order:
- Venus X - working out the final kinks with @TonyP- hopefully have a presentable product soon
- Furthermore - pretty much as soon as Venus X is ready this will be getting the bulk of my R&D attention
- Slampegg 6SL7 ("Grand Slampegg" is a pretty sweet name) - I'm falling in love with the sound. SO SMOOTH.
- Euclid - might be super cool, might be super stupid, don't know. Had the idea yesterday, designed it today, maybe have a prototype in a couple weeks.
- Greenhouse - still haven't forgotten about that one, just need to revisit when I have more time.
- SBVT II - I pulled it back out and plugged in the other day, it sounds good. I just want more external opinions before moving forward. May need to enlist more testers. @FronTowardEnemy ?
Awesome, thanks man! It probably will wait a little bit, I'm working through some stuff and need to get organized, but hopefully in the next week or so.
Well dang, and I was thinking of putting one right at the beginning of my chain. I don’t know the best way to tie it in later on my particular board so the beginning seemed to make the most sense. Maybe not…
IME the MORE gives better results with other devices pushing it, putting it first the effect is not as profound.

you can use me as well. you have my address
i think furthermore could benefit from a 6SL7 as well. it’s the best bass tube after all.

My More has been delivered. I intend to use it with a Carl Martin compressor, Sadowsky preamp pedal and Two Notes Cab M (which already sounds outstanding... I just want More of it). Otherwise the Bergantino is certainly attractive, as is the new Genzler Magellan Preamp. I'll see what More does to my current setup first.
