Members turnip Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 No. But I had a Distortron, and it was absolutely fantastic. Also, Mastortron reminds me of masturbation. LOL I need to get laid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bells or whistles, but it sounded really, really nice; very articulate, responsive and warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted August 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 No issues cutting through like a big muff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THeLoveGun Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 sorry, never gigged with a muff, but as far as I can tell it provides a very full and beefy low end. If someone just wanted more clarity, I would perhaps cut down on the fuzz/dirt level or perhaps kick in my SHO. I still have the pedal, but I've moved on to stack ODs for my current setup. At the time, I was the only guitar player, though I've rehearsed with another guitarist who used that famous/infamous boss metal pedal, he said that our sound blended well together. I don't use the pedal so much for leads...the sustain gets gated, tho I used a clarinot to boost it and nail a frippertronic type of sound. good luck, I think this is far as I can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members can't remember Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 I went from a BM -> FF -> Mastotron. It's a nice "working fuzz", that I find very usable/stable, cuts through fine, and easy to dial in. The only downside, is that's it's not a "crazy fuzz," no real wacky sounds from it. Also, I'm unable to get it to cut with humbuckers very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members christianatl Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 I love the Mastotron with single coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members airoz Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 I have used it a lot and I don't know if my pedal is busted, but I can't get it to cut thru the mix on its own. I've put a SHO in front of it so that it boosts the volume of the mastotron IDK, it could be that my box of rock has just to much imput @10 o clock. but it's horrible to kick the mastotron in and just dissapear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 My ex roomie had on for bass. I don't recall the particulars, but with guitar I was impressed. Sounded huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cirrus Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 but it's horrible to kick the mastotron in and just dissapear I got that the few times I tried to use a little big muff. My drummer was always going USE THE BIG MUFF!!!! IT SOUNDS SO GOOD!!!! And yeah, on its own it did sound good. With a band, it sounded like I'd stopped playing guitar and gone backstage to have a shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Monkeybot Posted August 20, 2011 Members Share Posted August 20, 2011 I love the Mastotron with single coils. Really cool with my Jazzmaster and especially the P90s in my Casino. I think that I dig it with the Casino the most. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jgyn Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 Mine's currently replacing my Fuzz Factory. The FF cuts through better, but the Mastortion has a more full sound, more bass, and is not picking up radio. Since I'm the sole guitarist, it's working out.

Members airoz Posted August 21, 2011 Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 Try putting the masto first, and then the sho. Yup, this is what I do to get the volume boost, but if I normaly set the SHO @11 o clock I have to set it to about 1 or even 2 to get the masto going Again, It could be that I'm runing the box of rock really high on volume BTW, the masto sounds amazing and its really versatile!
