LesStrat
Reining PunLowered
I am test-driving the Tweak Fuzz and the Twin Tube Classic. I played both tonight through my Peavey Bandit 112S (I know, I know, but believe it or not, this amp has a great clean channel).
First up, the Parker Fly Deluxe, equipped with MJ's magical creations: rebuilt original pups to Brobucker and A2Pro specs.
The TTC sounded good. Very good. Nice and warm tone, and the eq(bass/treble) allows for tweaking of the tone. Rhythm channel has less gain, but still gives a good crunch. The lead channel is even warmer, and allows more distortion.
The TF, OTOH, was quite bright sounding with the Parker. No eq settings, so I couldn't roll off the highs at the pedal. Even with rolling off the treble on the guitar, it was quite bright. It does have 6 fuzz settings, from mild to heavy crunch (the sound clips on the SD product page are fair representations of this pedal).
So, I decided to give LesStrat a chance at these pedals.
TTC? Still sounded good. TF? Much better, less bright (LS is a DARK guitar, and I don't just mean the black finish). Still, I'm not sure how much use I would get out of a TF (and I have been watching 'net bargains on it).
Bottom line, two pedals that are two different animals (by design). I could see uses for both in different applications, but probably not for me.
I'll know more when I test with another amp in a day or so. I'll add to the review then.
