fretmeister Posted October 30, 2015 Share 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.

fretmeister Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share 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!

Bigwan Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 That's beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted November 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
