Ahhh good to know. Funny you mention it, cause the Pale Mare and Fire are prob the 2 I'd go for. The Throat Locust is a mainstay on my board so I have no qualms with more EA in the chain. I forgot about the Anarchy Audio one....and I'm actually sending Laowiz my AF-100 at some point for him to compare to the Warthogck3 wrote:The BAT Black Sheep has a weird tone stack and needs to be fed into a dirty tube amp to sound like any of the manufacturer demos. I actually thought mine was defective and ended up returning it. Black Cat's Bee Buzz is similar, though can sound okay (albiet more spitty than I prefer) without additional post gain saturation. The Lone Wolf Audio Black Goat is another variant I previously owned that hit most marks decently, and prior experience with another Barge Concepts BB-jr was favorable (not entirely sure why I sold it). My current favorite of the lot is the Earthbound Audio Pale Mare with the Maxon Fire a close second and SUF Son of a Bee growing more on me each time it sees action (though still sounding a bit too scooped for the most part). I'd definitely like to try an original at some point as well as the Anarchy Audio Baa Bzz, Effects Bank Nolk, Black Cat Wee Buzz, Out Sound Warthog, and Prophecysound Black Sheep.
The HM-3 is such an underestimated beast. It does also sound awesome with an octaver before it!
