I've interested about Bassman type pedals for a year or two now, since I tried out Bassman model of Mustang in front of Orange. Huge hairy sound, (Mississippi Queen sort of).
I di bought couple of "bass heavy" OD's back then that we're nothing like that, so I promptly sold them. Later I bought Tech 21 Blonde in hopes of getting close to that fuzzed out brilliance I remembered (had already sold the Orange). It had really weird annoying mids, and huge way too flabby sounding bass I couldn't dial out, so I ditched the thing and forgot about it.
Since Catalinbread went out of business, I saw 5F6 for good price on sale in classifieds, I had to pick it up.
It's exactly what I recalled. Set in front of distorted Egnater, it delivers that huge hairy growl along with Big Muff type sustain. It's perfect Fuzz sound, and practically made the two fuzzes I had useless.
Brilliant pedal.
I know it's meant to be a preamp pedal, but I have no need for that.
