The modulation (to various degrees) alter the modulation even when bypassed (when the mod section is bypassed, not the entire pedal) and some have issues with it being very sensitive aka producing feedback even with the feedback-knob turned down.


So is that something Brian knew about and told folks when they ordered it? I would think that would be a hard thing to miss during testing.

I sold mine for what I paid. Kind of would feel like a dick making so much profit. haha.

I would try it again, but I'd want a little bit of a simplified version.

so much hawtness on this page. trying hard not to buy new peds. STAHP MAKING IT SO APPEALING.

...... just ordered a KMI 12 Step. AGAIN. had one for about 3 days and sent it back because it's made for people with little babby delicate dinosaur chicken wing feets. and/or toes.

BUT. i think if i use at as the keys version of playing the root notes i can play bass with both hands and sprinkle some synth goodness over it? i hope?

it's fucking PERFECT. if it was like 3 feet wide. instead of SEVENTEEN AND A HALF INCHES.

After playing with my Incinerator into the RM-1N for a couple of hours, I seriously want to sell the rest of my pedals, buy and Echo Degrader, and call it good. Seriously.

and my band just finished recording yesterday :cry: had a session to myself for noise/textures and ended up using a trogo 666 a bunch, including this shit would have been reaaal mean :cry:

playing out of town tonight so I won't be able to fuck with this for a couple of days - the tease is real :picard:

Hell yes. I still have yet to order my first CT5...and RM-1N :erm:
And I've yet to try an og OD250. So jelly atm.
I haven't bought any pedals yet this year...my focus veered off elsewhere.

GAS was really building for a Cali76 compressor back in Jan. I even tried to buy excane's but it's apparently THAT good and now a cornerstone of his primary bass setup. Totally understand and I'm glad he didn't go for the offer.
So I'm back to researching and seeing my real preference, the flagship model (of course :facepalm:) fetches upwards of $700 new. But it's limited and already sold out everywhere, and they aren't popping up. I start reevaluating options and goals. My mic pres already have Lundahl transformers and I want something different, especially for use beyond pedalboards. I want dat colored tone. So I shopped around for about 5 weeks and wound up springing for a real UA classic 1176ln...secondhand...for *only* 200 more than the pedal, which is limited to 15dB of gain; while the real thing has 45dB and significantly better headroom, colorful transformers on both ends and special features like the ability to bypass the compression/Attack and just slam the amp. Also the "all-button" mode which creates a unique variable bias overdrive. I want dat.

Yes! DOD 250 is where it's at! Gotta get back on that tip...

Well, he could have fixed it for you (if you wouldn't have minded the wait...). Also, simplified is blasphemy! ;)
