Word. That's the general setting I was rolling with (guitar not bass btw). So very good!

So I've gotten to play with it a little more (which I should really start doing before I post) and at a much lower volume (wife was sleeping) I was able to figure out why the treble switch was giving me so much trouble.....it's like when that thing is up, it's a 200% volume boost (or down is a 50% cut). It gets pretty insane with the switch and that with the huge volume boost was KABOOM. Once I got that figured out, I started getting some pretty killer sounds out of that portion of the pedal, too. Even got this one that's making me think my Prunes & Custard is becoming expendable. Very nice. More funds and room for more pedals. :!!!:

Man...it was anti-pedalphile cat. He brought out the oddness. And then, when I would run out of oddness, I would go jam some more with the US and I would get all re-energized with the oddness. I would put the onset down low, strum a huge chord/create some crazy dissonance, and then "chase" that sputtering sound by moving the onset slowly to the right with the decay of the noise. Fun fun.
