Black Arts Toneworks BLACK FOREST

[amorphous]

BF->pharaoh is classic...

[Baxandall]

I never paid much attention to this thing but since it still gets so much love, I'm interested.
Can the Black Forest do a low gain, dark, gritty thing? Any demos that demonstrate that?

yup. mine is in b/s/t because of too much gas. but it is a superb pedal.

Love that video whk but mostly because of the really tasty noodling. I really would have enjoyed just listening even if it is had been though a smokey. But, yeah the BF is amazing.

It looks as though i just sealed the deal with WeHuntKings

so the plan is having a booster, Fuck OD, Black Forest and Fix'd Fuzz, booster pimping ODs up, ODs flavouring Fix'D Fuzz up... might not work, but at least i get to try the Black Forest

hmmm, i'm not really sure what exactly your taste is - you flipped to much in the last one and a half year
but the Black Forest is flexible and i'm pretty sure you will dig it

[DarkAxel]

What should i say... i'm not either there's so much to try... but the main question is "is this gonna work in the band situation?" and with Pharaoh, i'm not sure.... not in my band situation, i guess

You'll soon find out. (Black Forest is incredibly versatile.)

I've got one coming in the mail today. Can't wait!

[DarkAxel]

haven't tried it in band on high volume, but it seems to be really great i put it everywhere i could, but it really sounds the best before Fuck - boosting Fuck OD resolves in some SERIOUS heavy toans with both pedal's gain just after noon

just to clarify though - the gradually dying out high sizzle is common with all of them?

btw: pretty damn heavy and awesome palmmuted with the gain on full

except that it doesn't take wah very well

[amorphous]

are you putting it pre-wah or post-wah? i have mine post with my RMC-2 and love it. You'll love it with the band too - very quiet at idle!

The BF does not have the long sustain that some pedals have - so that dying is common. It's long enough - but if you are going for a drawn out note/chord, stack another on or use another pedal.

the BF is VERY dynamic - actually the MOST dynamic on my board - one of the reasons i love it. Palm muting FTW!

[DarkAxel]

Post wah and i've got a heavy right hand, so it seems to choke sometimes

there's some high end sizzle that just dies out gradually after i let a chord ring... hard to explain, but it's there... i guess it's just part of its charm

i'll see how will it sound in a rehearsal, so far i think it's a damn awesome overdrive

[WeHuntKings]

yeah they have that gravely decay. you can tame it by rolling the highs back somewhat.

[DarkAxel]

OK, put it after my fuck, set it for high-ish gain, less highs... sounds better also it did good in bedroom test of my songs, so let's wait for the high volume situation...

Buy another one. Put one pre Fuck and one post Fuck. Win.
