Members companyman Posted January 1, 2010 Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 Just got a Black Finger in the mail. A trade with BrianPhase90, thanks dude! It sounds great, really warms up the solid state preamp on my Musicman RD-50. It adds a polished liveliness to clean sounds that I was lacking, and adds a definite character to my dirty sounds. All in all, it is just what I was looking for. Next up will be a Tube Zipper, that will make 3 PureTube creations on my board, Flanger Hoax, Black Finger and a Tube Zipper...a trifecta of awesome! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2010 is off to a good start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members companyman Posted January 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 1, 2010 just would like to confirm that, yes, the Black Finger is my favorite compressor of all the myriad that I have tried! The Hartman is a close second but lacks the gainy breakup factor that the Black Finger brings. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members companyman Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 HNBFD!I'm happy u likey! I've read how much you like yours here, and you are correct. The Black Finger is sweet sounding indeed! The power supply plug sticks out of the side a long way though...my only complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted January 2, 2010 Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 The power supply plug sticks out of the side a long way though...my only complaint. Yeah, the power jacks on the tube series isn't very conducive to pedal boards. If I were a touring musician again, I would think about modifying it and place the jack on the top of the unit somewhere away from the footswitch, or just hardwire the adaptor. It's not a big enough issue for me currently. What setting are you using most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted January 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2010 I haven't settled in on a particular one yet, honestly I can't find a bad sound in this thing! I think I am ordering a Tube Zipper today, do you have one? If so, would you say that it would be useful as a medium to high gain drive, in addition to a filter and weirdness generator?

You just have to spend some time with it to get the sounds you want. Like all envelope filters, settings change depending on the signal gain coming into it. I like the way it sounds when used in front of the Black Finger so that the compression tames the filter peaks a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that it will serve as a medium/high gain drive, envelope filter and synthy weirdness generator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that they were designed to work with other PureTube designs, like the Flanger Hoax and the Black Finger. I'm stoked to get the board in order.
