VFE Woodchipper

this is definitely going to take some time to dial in, but I can already tell there's a lot of sounds in this box. I could only play it for like 5 minutes, and I probably won't get any quality time with it till next week. And there is PLENTY of bottom, that's for sure. Whoa.

Oh wow, you really did a good job on the customization! Reminds me of a Frantone.

Love Fargo...what a classic! Also, lovin' my Woodchipper. Had a few hours to put it through the paces and it's a winner for sure. Love that you can EQ the fuzz signal and the Bottom control is a great way to achieve a good mix of your clean signal and fuzz without that "layered" effect that seems to annoy some lovers of bass fuzz.

This is all based on snap judgement as I haven't spent much time with the Woodchipper. The Woodchipper can get brighter & raspier than the Oxide via the Treble control. It can also get an almost clean upper octave sound with the Gain set low. The Oxide can get that narrow, pinched fuzz sound that the Woodchipper cannot. Overall I'd say the Woodchipper has more control over the fuzz tone via the 2-band EQ & the Oxide has more control over how the fuzz reacts via the Morph control & Strangle switch. They're both great takes on the Brassmaster circuit, that's for sure.

Can't wait to get mine. I am also hoping that the EQ and Bottom are what makes this a great keeper. I have an Oxide so I will try and compare them as well. But, with customs, I don't think that it will be before a week or two.

Mine is in Canada in Montreal at least. In customs, but here at least. Now, who knows, if it clears quickly, I might get it this week. If not, who knows, probably while I am on a business trip somewhere with my recent customs luck...

May the customs gods find you in favor.

I had some more time this morning to mess around with the Woodchipper. I've started figuring out how everything works together now and found a setting I really like. On the way I definitely got into some "If There's a Hell Below..." territory, which was cool. But I'm really liking the current setting at the moment: Fuzz 1:30; Gain 10:30; Clean Off; Bottom, Bass, and Treble all at just past noon.
