hhm.
he made four of these babies.
guess im one of the lucky ones who managed to get one of the first four aye. haha
i was actually introduced to this pedal by goos when i was asking him abt fuzzz pedals. and bro was kind enough to lend me his when i was recording for marchtwelve.
all i know is, i can tap like a god now!! hahaha.
anyway id say this is pretty much the closest to a triangle muff, if not, better! very responsive and cleans up when u play with the volume knob. goes well with my jazzmaster !!!
so thats one more goosonique pedal on the board.
thanks a lot bro.
fish sounds good. hehe

its sounds different from a square or oblong or trapezium?
hah
if im not wrong its the first big muff (EH3003), and popularised by david gilmor god. hah.
anyway i had a chance to try it in japan, and actually compared it side by side with a lil big muff. only thing i liked abt the il big mufff is that its in a smaller enclosure and was tru bypass. i heard that the little big muff keeps up closely to the triangle muff, but oh i was so wrong! one lil problem though with the triangle, its got some clarity isssues. which goose managed to improved in his muff clone.
anyway the bloody triangle muff cost a bomb.

well all muffs have clarity issues. It was not designed to be clear distortion to start with, its all about compressing the shit out of the signal in that pedal.
EH was notorious in the past to use ANY parts available. One triangle muff may sound different from the other triangle muff for all you know. As far as the Big Muff is concerned... I refuse to accept the notion that a "triangle/rectangular/hexagonal/wotever" had a "fixed" sound. They like TOTO lah. BUT the design of the Big Muff is uhm... "efficient" enough to be able to produce the sameness in character but in varying colours.
I'm sure Goose have done a good job clarifying the muff.

It was the mainly due to poorly color, label and sorted parts handled by weary eye's that had 4.7k mixed up with 47k resistors :lol:
I have not used a triangle muff but i have heard enough to see the hype and was not convinced it being something great ...even the other clones ...nice but not there ...all i did was retain what i liked and discarded what was ugly ...isn't that what we call *booteekk* ??!!
The muff circuit is pretty generic where someone who has been sitting down tweaking circuits would have gotten around the ballpark.... :wink:
Enjoy

oh I've opened up an old EH pedal(forgotten which one already, too many!) and it a multiple grades of resistors and uses ceramic caps in a signal path for a modulation pedal and transistors with no markings. Best right?
In marketing speak that will be HANDPICKED RESISTORS AND COMPONENTS FOR THE BEST TONE! :twisted:

Tried Goose's pedal over a couple of amps recently...
Lets name them!
1) Roland MicroCube
2) Marshall MG15CDR
3) Fender Hot Rod Deville
4) Fender Reverb Deluxe (I think I got the name right...)
On the MicroCube and MG15... practice amps... solid state... the pedal sounded goooood. Sounded "digitalised" on the MicroCube, which would do that to any dirt pedal put thru it lah... No matter, these ARE practice amps - can't expect much.
On the Hot Rod... friggin slayed... To start with, the Hot Rod had a robust, thicker clean tone, less chimey/sparkle... so that was great for toning down the scilicon tranny overtones - not that its bad in the 1st place, the pedal DOES use scil trannies...
On the Reverb Deluxe... it fizzed out for some reason. Then again, running a TS-like pedal into that same amp... sounded, not so good. Maybe its the amp? *shrugs*

amps i have tried the pedal with ...
Roland SS = As you find them all over the island ...why not !
It gets really extreme but still controllable with lowering of amp volume to abt 3 and tame the high ...just nice to cut through the drums and give *the wall of sound*.
The con being that with SS type it does get britle, so the amp mid knob comes to the rescue with high knob tweaked to taste. It just took me 5 mins to get my mix right and preffered leaving the amp cleanish.
Mesa Dual Rec = The best so far and i fell in love with this amp. This is what i use for jamz and it's couple to a *sad* Marshall cabinet ..oh well !!
With the pedal at moderate gain and tone slightly past 12'0clock and giving the clean channel with 6L6 on up to 3/4 drive showed me the staircase to tone heaven. Later kicking into the drive channel was just too much with the pedal as it being high gain too. It just gave out *mush* (in extreme amp gain) and bad feedback. The mesa drive channel does not need any pedal except for maybe a simple TS type drive just for kicks...imo.
Marshall J something = Pedal was ...Awesome on the clean channel with a tinch of drive.
I dislike Marshall so my experience may be biased. I was NOT able to dial a *full* clean anywhere as it was just mid'ish brittle using my viper. Finally settled for the best setting i could find and got the tone increased and drive lowered for best saturation to clean via guitar tone knob. Got good comments from Snuffy who played drums for the day !! I was happy but will try to avoid Marshy!
Good ... its crap anyway !! :lol:

I find that the Deluxe Reverb does not take certain ... boutique pedals very well... a notable example would be the Blacktone
But then again it could be that I need to tweak it a little more.
[scoundrel]Can I have a gsonique dirt pedal to try, please?
I want to believe, but I'm not quite convinced by the sound files I've heard... heh[/scoundrel]
