CameronJ Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Two pedals with very similar names but very different prices - I can get a new Chowny for half the price of the Aguilar used. I like the sound of them both in demos but a YouTube demo can cover a multitude of sins. Slightly different controls on both - the Aguilar has a single "blend" knob vs the Chownys separate level controls for the fuzz and dry signals. Anyone out there have experience of both pedals?

[/quote] Got the Chowny and it's a very cool little fuzz for the money, very thick very full, Will cover a lot of tones and basses the blend is very good nothing like the mxr blends (where dry and wet are Sep) does many things well. Sadly not played the Aguilar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Chowney is a cracking little pedal for the price. Not tried the Aguilar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Haven't tried the Chowny. But I have tried the Aguilar and sold it on immediately. It's very sensitive to input levels, feed it too much low end and it just bottoms out and sounds bad. It sounded great with a passive Jazz, but my Yamaha BB or Fender P just overloaded it.

CameronJ Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for the insight guys. Sounds like I should take a punt on the Chowny. Re: the Aguilar not sounding good with too much low end - I was planning on mainly sending octave and octave filtered sounds through it so that could be a disaster...anyone else had a poor experience with the Aggy?

weeleigh Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 +1 for the Chowny. No experience of the Aguilar, but given how cheap the Chowny is, it would be worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I had no idea Chowny made pedals! This is going to lead to a morning spent Googling their gear again, nice one guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Chowny or EHX Bass Big Muff. Aguilar make amazing gear but the recent prices for what you get are massively inflated in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I fully agree - Aguilar prices are ludicrous across the board. I'm sure if they started producing strings they'd end up being ~£80 for a 4 string set by the time they reached our shores. Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalyGanja Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I was surprised how cool this pedal is. It's definitely worth every buck it costs! you can check my review to see all tone possibilities, but I suggest to try it live or at lease extract audio and "reamp" with your fav amp/cab sim to get picture how it could sound live!
