The winner of the Fuzzrocious Rat King Give Away sent me a photo of his prize amongst a couple of other goodies. Ron also sent over his thoughts on the pedal as well.
thanks for the pedal! i’ve included a picture of it with most of my other ToNeCaNdY!!! i made sure you could read ‘fuzzrocious’ in the picture.
Â
i played around with the pedal for about an hour or so, and here are some thoughts from a guitar hobbyist.
Â
best features:
1. diode/open selector – i understand this is to make it bass friendly, but i like it; especially, for classic tones like cream and hendrix.
2. hi/lo filters – i like cutting the bass for twelve bar blues patterns and cutting the treble a bit for classic tones like cream and hendrix.
3. solid construction and quiet.
Â
possible drawbacks:
1. i’m unsure how stage friendly this would be, but you can use glow labels and markers, etc. it depends . . . . are you going for one sound or more?
i couldn’t imagine playing with the dials on a dark stage.
Â
a hobbyist might find it overwhelming because they may dial something in and play a bit and dial something in that’s a better ‘cop’ of what they were seeking.
this may be frustrating. on the otherhand, if you want something to play with this is a good tone toy with the added momentary loop. i’m certainly not sure i know
what i’m doing with it, but my dog rascal’s head cocked every which way.
Â
a criticism on my notes is that i used a tele baja player, and i believe i would’ve liked to both try it with my fender deluxe american strat and a washburn custom v with classic classic (bridge) and a ’59 (neck). i also wonder if it might not be a good pedal for heavier rythmn patterns of some types of metal music that i don’t play.
Â
have a good day,
ron
