Members alteredsounds Posted September 10, 2006 Members Share Posted September 10, 2006 I was sorting out some stuff to put and the 'bay and found one of these behind an amp. No idea where it came from, prob in a lot from somewhere. Anyways, plugged it in to test and it sounds amazing! Seriously good! Amazing eq, can store 2 settings somehow (not tried yet). Superb mesa sounds. What a hidden gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alteredsounds Posted September 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 Not sure anything about it, dont even know where I got it lol. Does sound really tight though, will investigate it further later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members raggydoll Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 cool.i think theres an overdrive version of it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uma Floresta Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah, I had a couple of pedals from that series -- the multi and the delay. The switches tend to go bad over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edster Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 I had the OD and the delay. Both sounded good but had bypass/tone sucking issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alteredsounds Posted September 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 I havent played with it enough to notice probs really. But tone-sucking and maybe bad switches aside, it's a very cool distortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yup, they're noisy and hit or miss, but the delay version was pretty good: And of course this gem: Has a lot of the same distortions built into it. The distortions sound ok if you turn the gain way down, but its damn noisy. Overall its mostly useless except as a novelty. I only tried the distortion one a few times in the store when they came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alteredsounds Posted September 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 lol I KNEW u'd show that painted one ! The distortion actually is VERY quiet with a gate built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distortion actually is VERY quiet with a gate built in. Duh! Perhaps the noise reduction on the multi wasn't as good as on the standalone unit. Maybe I'll goof around with mine yet again and see if I can find some useable distortion tones in it. Oh, to save presets, you just hold down the right switch until it starts flashing, and then press again and it stores it. I think while its flashing you can turn one of the knobs to chose whether to store it in the first or second preset slot, 1 being green and 2 being red. Actually pretty handy once you get used to it.

Members alteredsounds Posted September 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 It was one of those 'where the f**k did that come from?' test it and sell times where something unexpectedly sounds pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only tried the distortion one a few times in the store when they came out. Yeah, those were the two I owned. I loved the delay, but it was too noisy. The switch was going out. Being able to save two programs was cool, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members edster Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 I think so.... Didn't you see my thread the other day where I cursed you about being hooked on Space Fighter?? I don't usually care for video games but -- I spend a fair bit of time waiting on hold every day which is when I usually check out HCFX. One day I decided to check out your site and w/nothing better to do, I checked out Space Fighter. Cool game. Frustrating when you get to the higher levels though. Monkey Lander doesn't suck either.
