well yeah.... but i don't like the solderless mungers and these are the smallest profile heads i could find for soldering cables. they fit fine, it's just the Hot Hand input (and output) is a TAD too close. durn it.

Newly In: Markbass NY 15, Woundedpaw Black Sheep (yay, it's The One) Rusty Box (a great sound, but VT still gets the nod most of the time for warmness, lows), Year 2525, EH Talking Machine (a keeper!)

Coming next week: Mellowtone Wolf Computer. Bidding on JHS 4 Wheeler (wooly Mammoth clone)

Outgoing: IE Oxide (yes, it's too fizzy, too loud, and I have 5 or 6 fuzzes I like the sound of better, some in blend pedal like Ruiner and Wattson Superfuzz FY6 and an old style Flying Tomato which has more low end than new smaller model) Xotic BB Pre (see Black Sheep for replacement), Take Flite Goose (not so great for bass as I had hoped) Brown Dog (TAFM makes it unnecessary) and Pork Loin (not needed vs Black Sheep).
 
Gone: Frantabit, Subdecay Baby Quasar

Just in: strymon El Capistan and Bluesky, EHX BMS, ss/bs TAFM

En route: MXR BOD (I regret selling this and/or my OC-2s - they're different enough from the Cubic, so in with another!), Fairfield Circuitry Unpleasant Surprise

Maybe going: Bass MicroSynth. We'll see how I get along with it. Also don't know that I need 3 gate-y fuzzes, so maybe one of those once I do a proper comparison of Oxide vs. TAFM vs. Unpleasant Surprise. Maybe I do need all 3?

pretty different beasts. i'd say the Oxide and TAFM might have some overlap, but the Unpleasanto is a very VERY unique guy.

i love the Oxide, but it almost has..... too many sounds? it's hard to find one that is my OXIDE sound. and the TAFM i have a tone that i LOVE that plays different but super juicy with and without the gate. it's..... it's a dilemma. i'll never get rid of my Oxide, but if board space is tight TAFM might win out.

but the Xero will never leave. and the Franta is ****ing GREAT. he does know how to build the TASTY.
 
I hear you on the Oxide. So many tones but none that I have have to have. I like how heavily gated it gets toward the left of the Morph knob though. I feel like if one has to go it's either going to be the Unpleasant Surprise because it's too crazy or the Oxide because of the reasons above. One can never have too many fuzzes though, right? 3 seems like a good number :D :help:

Also agreed that the Xerograph is not going anywhere. So tasty.

BMS is not winning the fight to stick around. It sounds just like it should, and I like it, but I feel like it needs to be fatter. Also expression control of the cutoff would be nice - I know the mod can be done on the old sheet metal ones, but what about the newer version?
 
N.F.A. said:
Coming - Ravish Sitar
Going - My sanity until it gets here...

Hey, keep us posted on that one! I had a sitar effect in an old Toneworks multi pedal that I really dug. Not something I used on a daily basis of course, but it made for some cool inspiration and new/different approaches to playing.

Looking forward to hearing what you think about it.

5sg.
