fretmeister Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) After hearing loads of demos (mostly guitar ones) I have taken the plunge on the ThorpyFX Muffroom Cloud. [url="http://thorpyfx.com/collections/thorpyfx-pedals/products/the-muffroom-cloud-fuzz-pre-orders"]http://thorpyfx.com/...fuzz-pre-orders[/url] It should be here on Monday. It might be the first pedal that can genuinely claim "military grade construction" as Thorpy himself is a bomb disposal chap in the army. The thing that really appeals to be from a bass POV is that it is a Muff - but with an active 2 band EQ in it. Loads of control available! Here is an audio demo where all the guitars and [b]bass[/b] are with the Muffroom Cloud that some of Thorpy's mates have done [url="http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13242563"]http://soundclick.co...cfm?id=13242563[/url] Sounds pretty damn good to me! And there are a few guitar vids on youtube as well: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq4iKh-YG_Q[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fX9LqUzUjw[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6I8t9g7U0o[/media] He's also done the Gunshot Overdrive, but I can't see that anyone has done a bass demo of that yet. But the Pro Guitar Show guys now appear to be using one as their "go-to" overdrive when demoing other pedals. Edited November 2, 2015 by fretmeister Quote
fretmeister Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 It's here! Beautifully packed - Lots of padding Bag with feet, plectrum and stuff and finally the pedal! I've only had a 5 minute blast at lunchtime so far. Initial impressions are great, there is a load of heft even at highs fuzz levels and the EQ is very powerful. Backing off both Treble and Bass but then upping the volume gives a great mid heavy tone for cutting through, and boosting the bass adds a huge amount of welly I'm looking forward to being able to crank it more in the near future!

dannybuoy Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Looks like a great pedal! Bassists mostly just talk about Russian / Civil War muffs, but with the bass EQ I can see this being very popular. Now I wanna try one... Quote
