How does it sound?


initial noodlings seem promising - a whole slew of different sounds seem to be available from it and the envelope and filter controls will be handy for controlling the attack/decay of the notes - very handy for the type of music i make!

Nah, he's more of a Calypso kind of guy.

not really. the switching isn't bad because they put all the switching on it's own board, but the mini pots they use and the jacks are both mounted to the main circuit board, where everything is tiny SMT parts & a pain to work with. it's definitely doable, but it isn't exactly easy.

I now use a Effector 13 Succka Punch with two overdrive choises. I like it with my guitar which is kind of homemade.

When I use my strat I use a Zoom Ultra Fuzz first, then the XXL although I have played with a friend who uses 3 XXLs in series. The zoom is nice cause it has a gate and can give a nice overdrive to real fuzzy.

I love the zoom ultra fuzz. This company of otherwise shitty products got it right with this pedal for sure.

I have heard good things about that entire line of stomp boxes called "Zoom Ultra" the line had a overdrive pedal as well that I do not own and a Metal distortion that people seem to like which is compared faverably to the boss box (whose name I forget but has better eq options) that many extreem distortion users like.

I think this was a last gasp before they were bought out by Samson. Their early products were interesting like the multi-processors that looked like walkmen and the rack of that. Early on they made some neat looking effect pedals as well. The Ultra boxes are well made looking and heavy made out of metal.

The last 10 years have seen some neat pedals and equipment made by Alysis (akira -mod fx - I own the Bitrman, airfx and airsynth) and MAM (synth racks I own the Warp 9 and Vox II vocorder) then those company's get bought out by other companies and some inovative products get left on the wayside.

That's right, Benny. An interview with Malkmus years ago--10?, wtf--tipped me off to it. I heard that that sorta cavernous distortion you sometimes heard with Pavement live was the Hot Cake. E.g., "In the Mouth a Desert." Totally over the top, but still defined. But it does a lot of other things well, to me: It sounds like a very natural overdrive, like it's actually coming from the amp. It compresses nicely for lead type stuff, I think--only a bit enough to make notes carry but not so much that you lose all the dynamics and breathy-ness.
