[quote name='verb' timestamp='1424643490' post='2698764'] I recently got a B3K which I like, but I would like more distortion.I think that fuzz maybe too much so was interested in the TK-421-X. Do any of you TK owners have an opinion on the TK vs. B3K, is it worth considering or should I look more at fuzz? Does anyone have a sound clip/demo of the TK? Thanks Verb [/quote] I've recently got a TK-421-X and i love it, gets super dirty and the blend on it is killer. I actually use a B3K as my main slightly gritty tone and kick the TK in for all out filth on some parts, they compliment each other very well. I had been struggling to find a dirtier distortion that could hold its own when switching between the Darkglass and the first thing i found that could after trying a hell of a lot was a knightfall 66 (which is just ridiculously good too) but the TK just nailed it, never been happier with my sound as i have been since using the darkglass/Cog combination.

Just sold my Empress Comp to Chris. Good communication, drove from London to pick it up from me within 2 hours of agreeing the deal. Great guy to deal with.

Normal output mate, Parallel one is unaffected so your amp will not get the benefits of the pedal if you use that. With regards to not using the amps DI, im a live engineer for a living and i always prefer to use a separate DI or a good quality pedal with a DI out before an amp, its mainly a fail safe, if the amp goes down mid show ive still got the bass in FOH, usually il chuck a mic on the cab to get some of the character of the amp coming through too, unless its a very small room. Asking you not to use your amp at all is a bit odd though, i wouldn't like that.

Great price! They are still up for £177 on there, thats only £22 more than the MXR in most places.

[/quote] +1 The Empress is a great comp. ive had both that and the MXR and they are both very nice units, the Empress is a little more transparent and the has a couple of nice features the MXR doesn't, those being a 2:1 ratio which is i find great for always on use and the parallel compression feature which allows you to dial in some of your clean tone. I found the Empress to be worth the extra money but the MXR is still great and they both have metering to which nice. I recently got to try a Cali76 and that is just ludicrously good but again not cheap and its frigging huge! Ive just ordered one and i expect it to knock my Empress off the board when i try them side by side (which i never thought would happen!). The empress is wonderfully versatile but if i had one complaint it may be a little clinical, the Cali was transparent but warm and rich, hard to put into words really. This is worth a look, this guy knows his comps and has tons of reviews here... [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/"]http://www.ovnilab.com/[/url]
