Al Krow Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Just got a Fwonkbeta today and have had a bit of time to A/B it against the excellent MXR BEF. Initial impression of the Fwonkbeta is that it's very good! It's got a broader range of sounds than I can get from my MXR BEF. I guess that's entirely down to it being LPF (Fwonk) rather than BPF (MXR BEF) I've managed pretty quickly to find something on the Fwonk (clip 2) that gets to 95% of my fav BEF setting (clip 1) See first pic for dial settings. (Hmmm...or am I already thinking that the MXR can get to 95% one of my favourite settings on the Fwonk?! ) Interestingly the Fwonk is less reactive to a gated fuzz (clip 4) than the BEF is (clip 3)** But the Fwonk goes MUCH more subby than the MXR, if you dial the "Juice" down. Kinda feels like it has a touch of DOD Meatbox and you can see my Keeley Bassist Limiter lighting up when I've done so (and that's after benefiting from a Thumpinator at the start of my chain), Clip 5 is MXR (same setting) with an OC10 Clip 6 is the Fwonk with Juice dialled down (second pic for setting) paired with an OC10 Filter 1 - MXR BEF.mp3 Filter 2- Fwonk.mp3 Filter 3- MXR & Mastotron.mp3 Filter 4- Fwonk & Mastotron.mp3 Filter 5 - MXR & OC10.mp3 Filter 6 - Fwonk II & OC10.mp3 Edited January 17, 2019 by Al Krow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) ** but the Fwonk interacted very nicely with normal drive eg both SA Aftershock and Grizzly Bass. Edited January 17, 2019 by Al Krow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
