Hello all,
I just picked this up today and I can say I'm not very happy with it so far. It's extremely muddy and you barely have note definition. It sounds nothing like their amps which I was able to dial in some wonderful clear strong high gain sounds.
This thing actually sucks IMO and I'll explain what I did with it.
Where the battery goes in( Which I'm not using I have a Voodoo Labs Power supply) there is a voicing BOOST switch. It comes factory to the right which is BOOST mode.
I tried every possible setting in BOOST mode and it was just mud. I don't get it their amps don't sound like mud at least not the Mark V 35 that I fell in love with.
So I switched the BOOST mode OFF which would be the switch to the left. This took some of the MUD out but it's still not clear. It's got gain for years but you can't dial in a blend of gain clarity and Chunk. I messed with it for hours and decided I'm gonna return it.
I even for the sheer hell of it BOOSTED it with a Tube Screamer in front of it and man that made it slighty better and clearer but not to my liking.
When I compared it to my Drive channel which I know is completely un fair to compare a Actual Preamp to a Drive pedal it was a disaster. My Krank Revolution 1 Sounds SO MUCH BETTER and clearer. I can hear everything I'm playing with nice note definition and power. I can Chug for years and thump my soul. The Throttle box makes me sick. I think I actually hate it. Yeah it's OUT!!!!
