Members waveman Posted January 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Wow...all the love.... Just tried it against my Hot British during lunch, and it wins hands down in the ultra high gain territory and holds it's own doing AC/DC crunch, though the Hot British sounded a little better in this spectrum...but just a little. If I could only use one dirt pedal, the TZ would be it! I say if you are even thinking of getting a Crunch Box, get the TZ or Hot British instead...

Members Ben Co. Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I totally love mine... while I don't do the 'ultra high gain', I use it for high gain and it's fantastic. Awesome and natural sounding. And the great feature it's got is that I can tailor the EQ so that it works with any amp or speaker combo! -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZJD Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Tone Stack of the week: BBD -> TZ Must get BBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members waveman Posted January 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Must get BBD. Yeah, the BBD does a super low-medium gain - much clearer than the TZ, an do a great no breakup pushy boost to a biting OD. And like the TZ has lots of volume to spare.Now I'm thinking about getting one of their fuzzes...can't decide between the Neo and GI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members g3rmanium Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Tone Stack of the week: BBD -> TZ BBD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members waveman Posted January 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 BBD? Blue Boy Deluxe Ohh yeah, this thing loves Strats And forgot to mention when using as a boost, it has a smooth creamy texture to it. I know it sounds odd that it can get a biting OD on it's own, yet be creamy as a boost, but that's what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I like the fat-sounding saturation and low-end thump that the Tube Zone can provide. The noise floor can get a little out of hand at times, but this is most likely due to the limitations of my noise supressor pedal, which cannot accomodate various gain levels with the same settings.

Members justintee Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 both the TZ and the BBD are awesome pedals.. indeed, they can be a little noisy with louder settings. but good nevertheless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members g3rmanium Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Eww.Technically, I think the sound has something to do with the 500 K volume knob. If you keep the gain at about unity, you'll have a resistance of maybe 300 K. And, from what I know, that is making it sound very dull. Of course, you could crank it, and I guess that's how most people use it, but keep in mind it's a loud pedal.The other thing that bugs me is that the drive knob is a log pot from what I know. The transition between low and medium gain is very small.I'm sure one could build an Eternity-clone that sounds better and is more usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brett Valentine Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 TZ is a great pedal. I keep mine set up with the gain @ 12:00 (I like the touch sensitivity) and slam the front of it with boosts and low gain pedals. I set it up to be a bit more "Boogie-like" and hit it with a pedal with a bit of lids and it get's more Marshally. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members booher Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 For OD's i'm pretty content with my BD-2.I can't see myself dishing out the cash for a tubezone right now, either. Not to mention, I don't do the whole high gain thing too often, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
