The boxes. I hases it.

Only got some quick time in...going in I was least excited about the sparkle motion, but I think that's the one I'm going to have to end up getting :!!!:

Hey guys, about the Fuck OD and the Sparkle Motion... how is the EQ, can you get something like really trebely low gain type of sound?
If some of you would be kind enough to record some clips, that would be great. :thumb:

That type of sound:

My amp is draker and glassy sounding (which I like) but I cannot get that tone without a pedal in the mix.

I think I came close to that sound with the Sparkle Motion, it was close to my red rooster clone but a little more versatile (more knobs!!)

If my amp sounded Draker I'd kill myself....jokes...but seriously...Drake sucks

Hey everyone, thanks for smooth operator box. Is the 4545 still out of the box? I feel that was the real one to try out.

There was a TAFM, FUCK, Sparkle Motion and one of them Montral Assembly White Fritters.
One had a hilarious narwhal comic on the back, that made my day.

What's the deal with the extra toggle on the TAFM? I'm not even sure which one is the extra one :lol:

Yeah, I didn't realize it was extra 'til after, but it's the gate mod. I believe the mod is available as a footswitch or toggle switch.

New version 4545 or the big box current version?

:cry:

Guess I'll just have to buy one. That was the one I wanted the most.

I didn't get a ton of time with the box, bad timing I guess...but a few quick thoughts:

The TAFM was my favorite by far...THE LOWS...amazing. Made my tele sound like a beast.
I wish I had tried it with my baritone w. warpigs, that would have been insane.
This was really something else, I've got the worst case of gas I've had in a long time for this thing.

Sparkle motion was like the opposite of the TAFM. Treble city (at least the way I liked it...on bass mode it did have some serious low output).
It even made active pickups sound "plinky", which injects some extra life into the cleans.
Also worked well doing what it does best...pushing an amp that's already cooking. AC15+treble boost (and maybe a fuzz) all day long.

The FUCK I dunno. Needed more time with that one. I was getting some where low/mid interaction with my amp (same sorta trouble I have with MKII tonebenders sometimes), so I didn't get to dial it in right. The overblown mode is awesome though, and being able to flip the function of the momentary stomp could be really handy.

All of Brian's pedals seem incredibly well thought out...the blend on the TAFM, dual in/out controls on the sparkle, flip-flop on the fuck (not to mention the ones I already own the like puzzle/blarg).
Small touches that really take those pedals above and beyond anything else out there.

The white fritter...wtf is that thing. :lol:
There was some serious bit crushed-y gate-y fuzz going on there, I must have spent an hour just going through the settings.
I'm seriously going to check out some MA stuff now :thumb:

I feel somewhat responsible for messing up the whole 4545 thing. Sorry!

WAT!!! I was not aware the white fritter was in the box! When this gets here I might have to lock myself away from the world for a few days.
