Boutique to EHX... NPD

Re: Boutique to EHX... NPD

Dude, that's my exact settings for all but the volume, including the switches. I guess I shoulda said 10:00 instead of 9:00 on the sustain (I was going from memory); right after 10:00 is about the point where noise starts to really increase in my setup. These were really the only useful settings for me. Deviating either brought noise, harsh treble, flabby bass, undefined distortion, etc. Maybe I'll explore changes for a one off sound here and there; otherwise it's a one trick pony for me. But I do love what it does in this one setting (with the mxr as I said).

i don't think mine sounds boomy, but it does sound big and everywhere. Maybe we're describing the same thing. I do know that for me this could never be my one tone, desert island sound.

I mean, mine is noisy even with the pedal off. I'm not talking about gain raising the noise floor.

Is that normal? I had the same the problem with a Little Big Muff that I returned a couple of years ago. I hate to return this one. The Muff is a classic pedal. I'd like to have at least one iteration hanging around.

I don't have this problem with my EHX Soul Food.

I just disassembled my board to clean it and re-organize it, so I'll check later today to see if mine makes noise when it's off. I don't recall it doing so last night. I don't think it's normal for this pedal to make noise when it's bypassed.

I have read that EHX pedals are not the most solidly built pedals; no clue of that's true. My metal muff has lasted just fine.

Here's the inside of my Big Muff. Could one of you pedal geniuses tell me if something is wrong? I mean, other than the bottom plate being off the pedal? :laugh2:

Re: Boutique to EHX... NPD

plastic board mounted jacks, micro componentry, wave soldering, flimsy pcb. Apart from those things, and as long as you don't have an issue with it rolling off a production line from a huge factory in china, nothing looks wrong with it.

Oh, good. What a relief.
