I just looked at the Dark side; never seen it before.

No, it's not. It is awesome and it has great tone. And I want to try oneSlowy wrote:I just looked at the Dark side; never seen it before.

I normally have my Diamond Comp on first in the chain,mrmofo wrote:+1 on the Bush FX dood.
I asked him to make me a comp and OD in one pedal. both together into a dirty amp is good.
using fuzz with other pedals creates a strange relationship, in my experience the fuzz must go first in the chain, depends on what comes after it etc. it`s like having a drama queen girlfriend.
the Bush made COMP/OD has the comp first.Reg18 wrote:

Do you think a Geemanium ToneBender would be effected by that?
I guess I’ll just have to swap things around when I get it to see what works.
I had one, it was awesome, the muff part is a little harsh on it's own but it's all tuned to work together and theres some epic gilmour tones available!olegmcnoleg wrote:No, it's not.

Dammit Bruce really makes me want to try one again now had a very different rig back then and maybe that was part of the issue... that said I'm really REALLY happy with the carcosa, does all the splatty stuff I love, just need another muff for those tones, kinda always wanted a big box one and maybe mod it a bitSlowy wrote:Mad logic.....

Actually, you compared it to a Musket and a Musket is way too much for what I want.
So...........
Just spent half an hour with it. Very much what I was looking for. I think I like it more than the One Control but I'll have to put both of them on the board to be sure. Plenty of time.
Thanks for your advice Jeremy; solid as usual.
You probably still won't like it. I'm going for as smooth as possible; a completely splat free sound. Not going to get it, but that's the goal.jeremyb wrote:

Smooth splat free... hmm... I really think you should give that cheapie Mooer of Keon's a go. It has all those qualities you have repeated here several times. It won't have the cool looks or price tag of the big box branded stuff, but it's has that smooth splat free singing violin quality.Slowy wrote:You probably still won't like it.

That's a great article - penned by ex-pat NZer Christian Livingstone (of the Datsuns and Magnetic Effects).Reg18 wrote:A long, but good article on the history of the ToneBebder for those interested.
