NPB: Poison Noises The Crook

[bassist_lewis]

Just received this in the post this morning. I saw it on the JHS Show about a month ago and asked about international shipping, which they said they couldn't do. However, a couple of weeks ago they emailed and gave me a quote and barely £100 later (that's including postage) here it is.

It sounds great, does a really nice low gain drive but also gets really aggressive and almost fuzz-like at the top of the gain knob. To me it sounds a bit like an OCD but with the gain range of a JPTR FX Tesla Wolf. You can also dial in more low end (Lay Low) but so far I haven't felt the need.

Glad to hear it sounds good, there's very little online for this pedal with a bass. Also good to hear they, albeit begrudgingly, ship internationally. 

Your spot on with the OCD comparison, it's a modified version of that from what I have read

Yeah, they don't offer it on their website, I pestered them specially 😂 I'm really enjoying it, though still to try it on a gig. I would say that the switch on the OCD does a lot more than the switch on The Crook. On this it adds a bit of top end but it's not very noticeable.

I also asked them about shipping to the UK but didn't get a reply...as a result they didn't get my business!
