Wren and Cuff Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Just FYI, The pickle pie "B" is much different than my own pickle pie or the BYOC kit. The pickle pie "B" is not a clone of anything. It simply uses the skeleton of the muff/pickle. It has a fet-hybrid clip section (I'd tell you the "hybrid" and FET part but I cant give away all my secrets). An active clean blend. Tonestack made to accommodate bass and retain its usability as the fuzz is turned down. A few major changes to how the pedal handles low-end signals. also other small tweaks here and there that only slightly affect the overall tone. And it makes you play as good as Jaco when you flip the magic "Jaco" switch. As far as my original pickle pie and the BYOC "pickle" kit. I would imagine they would sound pretty similar. I've heard good things about all their kits (not that anyone asked me). FYI, my favorite vintage muff is the PNP wired Ram's Head (uses 2n5087's). matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Not sure if my Humphrey modded Badder Monkey simply has more gain on tap than the stock version, but it's got masses of overdrive available and doesn't do clean. More medium to high gain I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 lol must be a hell of a mod then, my stock sounded god awful if you tried to turn the gain up, and even at top gain id call it a bit under a mid gain overdrive, certinly at best at low gain but id like to try a humphreys one now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
