This is hilarious.
Someone understands us!

Ivan Mazepa fuzz/muff from Drunk Beaver. Controls are volume, gain, tone, bias. And the toggle is between Poltava Russian style fuzz and a super agro muff. Modern electronics except vintage Russian transistors.
It’s as big as it looks.

Love the knobs, especially the bottom ones. That says a lot with how BA the saucer knobs are.

Here: absolutely blown away by it, both on guitar and especially on bass. Outstanding and pretty much plug n play. Can't get much better, and the price is good.

Coming: just pulled the trigger on an Ernie Ball tremolo. Price was just too good. Been itching to try one for a while, probably end up flipping it.

Been wondering about that Phantom Block for a while. I'm recording going bass -> pedals -> preamp -> DI -> interface, but this seems it cuts out some of the middle steps.

Does the gain get dirty or it's mostly a boost? Can't find tech specs online than general descriptions.
 
Incoming, finally: Master Effects Super Two Hundred. Stoked!
Well worth the wait. This thing makes me as excited to plug in a bass guitar as did the GP12 SMX back in the day, for me.

Come:

Chopping block: Broughton Audio SV-Pre

Going, once I get around to put stuff online, and box it up: Broughton HPF (have a second one), EHX Bass Big Muff Pi (have a Hoof), TC Polytune Mini 3 (have a second one) and SpectraComp (keeping the Diamond Bass Comp).

Gone: Ampeg SCR-DI, H&K TubeMan v1

Did a little exploring on the ME site, anyone have experience with Super 100? I love John Wetton's tone and I see it's based on the Hiwatt DR103. Anyone here used one?
