Re: The Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive
have one of these on the way..I was hyped before reading this thread, now I AM FUCKING STOKED!!!!
psychedelics are officially off the table. I don't want to get spun into another dimension by this thing!

Re: The Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive
yooo so this thing is THE SHIT. so simple, yet so awesome! trying real hard to stay away from buzzwords like warm and organic, but damn this thing sounds natural. one of my first thoughts when playing with it was 'holy shit I really suck at guitar'. it's dirty, but it's clear. know what I mean? stuck on the opamp setting for guitar, but the other modes are useful for cleaner kinds of boost.. knocked this fucker out of the park, ryan! yay technology!!!!!!!!

Re: The Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive
Totally agree! I love how simple it is to use and dial in, yet has three distinct circuits for mega versatility! So damn good!

Dude, get on the npn. That suits the shitgaze aesthetic perfectly man! And if it isn't enough slam it with some more overdrive or a boost or something.

Pretty much my exact experience. Including the sucking at guitar part

Literally my only change (& it's not even a big deal) would be to have the ability to set each modes treble independently. I have a tendency to want to change modes with my foot and often times the npn and fet stages sound darker and throw things off.

I've been using npn exclusively since this postgoroth wrote:Dude, get on the npn. That suits the shitgaze aesthetic perfectly man! And if it isn't enough slam it with some more overdrive or a boost or something.

fet is SO GOOD for boosting those quiet sounds without hampering with the original tone

Re: The Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive
NPN rules for not being just-another-great overdrive. It's the black sheep option that gives the Heisey the expected Dr.S flair.
Like I've said over and over, having all three right there is what takes this pedal from amazing to mind-blown!

Re: The Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive
I got one of these not long after they were announced, and it is one of my favorite pedals. I call it the alchemy box - it turns everything I put into it to gold. It's a great stacker that makes other pedals sound bigger and richer. It's also a really cool artifact of scientific advancement. NO, it's not cheap, but to me, it's three pedals in one anyway. Just an awesome box of sonic joy.

Re: The Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive
^^^ Solid first post!
I continue to use my Heisenberg anytime I need drive sounds. And like Anacharsis says: stacks so good!
For anyone who hasn't heard: Ryan found someone to manufacture the Molecular Junctions going forward, so there will be more Heisenbergs available soon!

Re: The Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive
I'd missed some of these comments, but it is the stack master.
On my small board I'm running low gain Elements into the npn channel. It lacks the definition of Elements on high gain, but still has a lot of clarity and at the same time does this massive sludgey sound. Riffs so hard.
Love it.
