Always makes me wonder, when it says 'designed in collaboration with' - when it comes to a FSO, surely the input is 'this pickup, these knobs, that colour, make the pickguard extra ugly'. Hardly 'design', is it?
No changes to my board for a while now (OK I turned the tuner around), except I occasionally 'guest' a pedal in the Meatball loop. Do you all like my massive Tubescreamer pillow? 😆
Somehow I didn't like the mix setting on the Qtron, and I found the voicing on the BEF was 100% better turned to zero as I really didn't like the vowel like character as you turned the dial... great pedal otherwise though.
The MXR looks like it has lots of useful options. I did look at the MXR with the built in fuzz but it doesn't take a battery which put me off, as when I use this it'll be added to my pedalboard without actually being mounted, sort of like a guest patch-in. The OC2 uses so little battery that it'll work fir a long time before it needs changing, whereas using the MXR I'd have to have a separate adapter or a spare output from my Cioks and a messy loose cable when it's not being used.
Hm it's usually the best unless you're blending in some clean, in which case Band Pass can work really well too. But on the original Mutron, LP was the only mode that sounded good with bass.
Just bought this modded OC2 from here. I wanted a single pedal which I could throw in the loop of my Meatball filter to give an octave synth sound, so this is perfect as it gives both octaves with a delicious fuzz which pairs with the filter perfectly.
