Silenced Fred Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I always thought my mini tone master sounded like shite. It sounds like a DS-1 through some headphones that aren't on your head to me. To each his own I guess. Crank the output volume and use gain to adjust the volume. Always worked for me and the "breakup" almost sounds natural for a bad tube amp haha The zvex is pretty cool, but a bit out of my price range. Tiny amps sound awesome cranked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The Zvex Nano is freakin sweet! You have one retro? Zvex prices are steep but my Zvex pedals are well worth the price (to me anyways). I love em. Fred I blew mine up with my Big Muff it doesn't work anymore. Last time I turned it on it was oscillating like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love em. Fred I blew mine up with my Big Muff it doesn't work anymore. Last time I turned it on it was oscillating like crazy. Oh yeah! Boutique stuff (most of it anyways) is well worth it to me. All I'm saying is that for a little amp, its out of my price range. Hard for me to swallow that cost for a 1/2 watt (right?) amp. I used mine with the Swollen Pickle and cranked it a ton. Haven't blown it yet. I think I destroyed my Line 6 with the Swollen Pickle and a bass running through it though... hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Laugh at this if you will, but when I first heard fuzz, my thought was that the intent more or less was to turn a guitar sound into a "dirty" sax player's sound. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Dub I have to disagree on the Ds-1. It gives me a real nice Anthraxy tone when boosted with my KOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah I got my KOT and I was like "Wtf, no high gain? It must not be good" but in seriousness I can coax some serious Spreading The Disease tone out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most things perceived as high gain, but actually has *cough cough* GOOD TONE *cough cough* actually isn't that high gain I believe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'd probably never use the Ds-1 live, it just doesn't fit my style. But I don't play live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'd probably never use the Ds-1 live, it makes me want to shove forks into my eyes and then force feed them to myself fixed. well... at least for me it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Dub I have to disagree on the Ds-1. It gives me a real nice Anthraxy tone when boosted with my KOT. that's cool man I'm glad you dig it but I hated mine. I got some pretty decent tones out of it but definately nothing great ever. I thought it was a pretty thin, cheesey sounding distortion but that's just me. I've never heard a DS-1 sound "right". It lacks bass and sounds unnatural (in a bad way) to me.

Kimbabig Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah, It sounded like crap, until the KOT ran into it. I'm not saying it even sounds great now, but It does allow me to do some cool Anthrax covers, that's all it's good for though. and alot of people probably think Anthrax had bad tone.

Silenced Fred Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Nah, Steve's right. We should all play through a Fender Frontman 15, and only play clean because anything else is hiding behind effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 No Eq either, but the amp changes your sound some regardless of how the Eq is set, How about we all play our electrics acoustically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frontman I had, the EQ didn't really change anything anyways... Only the real luddites will play acoustically because they are real men Oh, and screw strings, they mask your inability to make sound without them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
