Members ninjaaron Posted July 18, 2010 Members Share Posted July 18, 2010 Are they both based on a scooped muff type tone-stack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrbluetone Posted July 18, 2010 Members Share Posted July 18, 2010 Got my AD2000 with the Tone control OMG that makes all the difference. I can now go from a big bottom fuzz sound to sputtering treble spitting fuzz with one (1) knob. Richard hits yet another homerun ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted July 21, 2010 Members Share Posted July 21, 2010 Richard, or others, how does the Mark III compare to other tonebenders out there? Like the Throback or the MJM Britbender. How well does this pedal match up with a Vox ac15? Also, is it possible to have the MkIII in the smaller size, with the jacks on top? I assume this can be powered with a 9v power supply. Thanks.

I assume this can be powered with a 9v power supply. Thanks. MKIII is a Solasound MKII clone and it's a beast. Great tonebender tone and the input bias really lets you dial in the right gain and "intensity" settings. With the bias full out and the gain on full you'll get some noise and oscillation, so stay away from those settings. I liked the MKII a bit better, FWIW. No oscillation when running full out gain and the tone was a little more mellow and rounded. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving it so far. Love it so much, I'm thinking of ordering another Monsterpiece. Maybe the MKIII, but I understand they can't run off a OneSpot?

Gas for something else most likely. I listened to clips of a Throbak Strange Master today, and liked it a lot. Sort of a treble booster, but it can be a regular booster as well, and/or silicon or germanium chips in it. Not sure which I want more, different beasts. I do need a booster of some sort, but I want another type of fuzz too. Or both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Can get separate in/outs for each side :poke: Yeah I suppose. I kinda have a boner for this treble booster, which is more than a traditional booster: http://proguitarshop.com/store/effects-boost-pedals-throbak-electronics-boost-pedals-c-602_43_634/throbak-electronics-strange-master-treble-booster-p-1881 Not sure how these pedals would work if you don't have them cranked though. Or if they are cranked, but the master volume is low, will they still work effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that one was mine, I liked the sound but I wanted something a little nastier, so I sold it on the bay. Thats funny that a board member ended up buying it from me. Small world.

Members CrowShack Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 yep small world - thanks for the pedal.I've tried it through a few different heads now--JTM45, Maz 38, Allesandro--and I still love it. Great fuzz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted August 2, 2010 Members Share Posted August 2, 2010 Which is closer to sounding like a fuzz face, the MkII or the MkIII? If that's even a valid question. I have a good ff now, and don't want to replicate that same tone really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
