Dracarys review

[Hsb]

Securb asked about the Dracarys in another thread so not to jam up the other thread, figured Id makeba different thread.

The pedal is loud first of all. Have my 50w Jubilees volumes on about 2.5 and to use the Dracarys in the house, the volume on the pedal cant really be above about 9 o'clock. And every knob on the pedal affects the volume of the pedal. The eq is very sensitive as is the gain. Xan easily get that old school nasally Slayer tone in a heartbeat as well as old Metallica.

With my Iceman with a Distortion and LTD with a C5 its very nasally but sounds completely like a different animal with my Jackson 7 string which has a Nazgul in it. The Jackson is way better suited for for the pedal than the other two.

It definitely has its place and really dont use it all that often as its just a little too much sometimes. You wont be able to do 80s metal with the exception of some of the above mentioned bands and like. Not for the likes of Maiden, Dokken, etc.

Sounds like my cup tea.

I dont play it mucb cuz the 7 string and I dont really gel that well. Funny I find itbsounds completely different in person vs youtube clips. Youtube clips sound full and heavy, in person I hear heavy, nasally tone, but some of that could be the volume I running, not really pushing the amp. Kinda hardbto turn it up when you live in a townhouse

I have a Wampler Dual Fusion, and it’s crazy loud, too. Unity gain is like 1/3 of the way up.

The old Duncan Twin Tube Mayhem is no slouch either. Tube drive running at full voltage, not starved plate.

Yep, me too.

If I can't get that with what I already have, I'm not trying hard enough.

The dracarys has it's very own unique sound.

I found it to be enough different that I didn't like it as much as other pedals I have.

It has a lot of gain for sure!

The one thing Ive discovered with it lately, when Im using it, the gain volume has to be at 0 and only use the Master volume, helps remove some nasally, boxy upper mid. Do I love it, no, do I keep it on my board, yes when I feel the need for some insane distortion.

I just ordered mine I will let you know my thoughts when it hits.

[Hsb]

Good deal, let us know what ya think.

The interplay between the gain, eq and output you describe is something that I've noticed - and liked, tbh - with all of the Wampler drive pedals I've played.

[Securb]

It just showed up hopefully I get to play with it tonight

I love playing with the mids on this pedal and sweeping them from a scoop to a mid boost. The nasal voice to the pedal is cool. with the mids bumped and the gain at around 9 o'clock, I was getting a honky out of phase-like tone that was very useable. I was surprised that I got the gain to about 11 o'clock and it was aggressive enough to play anything desired. I seem to like the open/tight switch OPEN so far but there will be much more playing with this beast this weekend. I will say I like it so far more than my BOSS Mega Distortion.
