So i pulled out all the images for muff obsession the other day, and decided i didn't like them anymore.
so starting from scratch again.
Also i sold my black muff with the bubble letters on ebay, knowing full well i'll buy another in the future.
only to have it 'get lost' in the mail... suffice it to say, won't be shipping to malaysia again, ended up be a close $200 loss, not cool.
Also learned EHX has discontinued the russian big muff, so you can get them at a higher than average cost now. Used to be you could get them for $30-$40 used on ebay, now you can get them for around $60.
Next on the agenda, picked up a germanium4 big muff. Here is my initial review from a forum i visit too often:
here's some early samples:
http://rapidshare.com/files/406846809/germanuium4_muff_demo_w_pollen.mp3.html
this first ones using the pollen as a source, i did no manipulation of the source at all.
i let the source run anywhere between 10-15 seconds on all the samples, trust me you'll know when i kick the distortion in.
the distortion is actually the first effect in the pair as opposed to the overdrive. i think that's weird it's usually the other away around isn't it?
anyway i start with the gain and bias down, the volts and volume up.
i kick in the gain at a mild pace followed by the gain.
next i start to lower the volts, lowering the volts lowers the overall volume, something to be aware of.
then i kick in the od section
the od section only has the volume up, i raise the volts back up.
then gain, then bias, then tone.

pretty much the same test except using the drone commander as a source, i leave it on the opening tone for most of the test, then start to play around a bit at the end to give you an idea of it's abilities with variable sources.
http://rapidshare.com/files/406846811/germanuium4_muff_demo_w_metal_sample.mp3.html
this last source is using a recorded loop from my sp 202 that happens to be a piezo-ed metal source...
again pretty much the same test.
complete first impression:
the distortion section is awesome, this has a lot of potential, and i think your right with the fuzz factory comparison.
the devolt is a no-brainer these days, glad ehx is finally taking notes from the underground again.
i am a little underwhelmed by the overdrive section. but i'm also not a big od fan. i think the tone control is actually too constrictive, luckily leaving it all the way down to the bass side seems to actually disengage it. a hair in the other direction puts the stranglehold on the signal again.
maybe it would sound better if they flip flopped the effects, od first, distortion second?
as it stands now i'll mostly be using the distortion side only, but i'd gladly buy another fully knowing that right now though.
now my excitement may just be the thrill of a new pedal,
so we'll see how it goes in the next few weeks...
