[url="http://www.deviever.com/fx/bitmangler/"]http://www.deviever.com/fx/bitmangler/[/url] awesome stuff, my first devi pedal is winging it's way from america at the mo, check out all her stuff, more types of fuzz than a velco factory. Of death.

Can anyone reccomend someone to repair my old Trace 715 (By old I mean made before they shut down, then started making new stuff)? In both North Yorkshire and Canterbury/london (it's a bit of a long story). There's a distinct lack of north yorkshire reccomendations in the stickied thread Anywhere in york (except rock ola, had a bad repair expeirence before) would be ideal, leeds is fine, but anyhwere further is pushing it (i can't drive yet so i'm having to blag a lift). I've read the stickied reccomendation thread, but does anyone know which would be better for my Trace 715 in the above mentioned north yorkshire area, or north kent, or north london (if i have to do it london it'll be from watford and the guy giving me a lift doesn't like driving into the center of london, understandably) Reading it back, that's very confusing, even to me, but oh well, i'll be happy to clarify anything, Cheers

Low end response is very important though, one of my life's ambitions is to play the hysteria riff with as much pure mind bending fuzz force as the first time i heard it, and a devi certainly seems to be a step in that direction

after a lot of looking, i've pretty much narrowed it down to eitheir a hyperion or a cherry pop. The hyperion's got a good muff sound, nice fuzz, works great on bass and guitar and seems to treat chords well, but it's a little tame for what i'm looking for, i like having the option for a kinda squealy harmonic out of control feedback high end on guitar and bass. If you don't know what i mean, i had an odb-3 a while ago, and with a certain bass, if i set the high band eq at anything beyond 3 o'clock and played a harmonic, i got an endless loop of a kinda low freq sine wave harmonic with squealy overtones that was the best wall of noise i've ever heard. And the cherry pop seems to offer that, tame chord firendly options for guitar, more intense fuzz for bass and guitar, and raspy high end weirdness. So has any has any direct experience with both the cherry pop and the hyperion? The cherry pop involves extending my budget so i want to be pretty sure. Also kev, i came across this on my exploits: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lALOz6EZMc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lALOz6EZMc[/url] no indication how it responds to bass though

Firstly, apolgoies for two posts in a row, but this seemed to make more sense as a new thread, secondly apologies for the second very long winded post in a row, i like to rant. Basically I'm in the market for a mid-price fuzz/overdrive that is good for both bass and guitar (I occasionaly get roped into playing six strings at gigs and it would be nice to be able to use a pdeal i'm familiar with) having previously owned one, my instinctual reaction was a russian muff, i found a whizzer-modded one with 9v-jack and true bypass (everything a russian muff owner dreams of), but was informed by your own bassmankev that the mods suck most of the low end out (this has now been confirmed by the guy who did the mods). My next thought was a zvex wooly mammoth, but i almost had a cornoary when i looked into prices, I looked around here and found a few reccomendations of a boutique company i've never heard of, devi ever, finding a few demo vids on youtube i'm blown away by the things these pedals can do, seem to work great on bass and guitar, not to mention the low low prices. My only problem is, that all they seem to make are fuzz pedals, dozens and dozens of them, so i'm a little spoilt for choice, judging on what i've seen, heard and felt (low end response is fantastic) i'm leaning towards a hyperion, These are the one's in my price range (at least from this site): [url="http://www.analoguehaven.com/devieverusa/95dollarpedals/"]http://www.analoguehaven.com/devieverusa/95dollarpedals/[/url] Anyone had any solid experience with any of these> Cheers

is that compared to the regular russian muff or just on its own? I know some people say the regular russian muff has low-end loss, but it never bothered me

I know, i know, you probably get 50 posts a day about the russian muff, but (i hope) mine's slightly original... I had a Russian Muff before and it died a horrible death, I liked it, but it wasn't the fuzz pedal messiah, and i'd started focusing on a jazz band at the time so i never bothered replacing it, but now i've moved back to my post-rock/stoner-rock/sludge doom/ambient/jam band (even we don't know what we sound like) i want to replace it, now of course they've stopped selling the russian muffs, i was forced to scour evilBay, and came across this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130246194915&translate=no&ssPageName=LanguageToggle). So my question (finally) is if anyone knows what this souped up russian muff on acid sounds like? My big concern is the guy rambles on and on about the guitar tones you can get out of it, and never once mentions the humble bass, so i was wondering if in his extensive modifications he's lost the bass response? Anyone have any solid experience with this?, because it's the only thing putting me off it, cheers
