Clipping Voice A is big and beefy.
B is less bassy and more cutting.
Hope this helps you out Dark Barn.

Major bummer for me...my Megalith started freaking out the other day in rehearsal - feeding back uncontrollably - even at low volumes Ramping the input to max will almost get rid of it, but it's still there. I contacted Alan, looks like he's pretty on point and is going to make it right.

Rlllyy? What happened? Just started happening with nothing else being changed? Weird.

Did any cables come loose, check the wires inside the Mega?

Well, i play the pedal every_damn_day...and rehearse with it 2x per week with the band. On Sunday's rehearsal - i kicked it on and it started in with this feedback. Sounded like a hollow body in front of a dime'd amp! So, I figured it was an ID10T error and i had something else on - so i rolled off my volume knob and bent down to take a closer look. Keeps happening! Anytime it's on, it's feeding back, regardless of input signal. So after practice i isolated it, tried different power supplies, batteries, check for loose connections - nothing - still happens. The megalith lives on a pedal board, so nothing should have shook loose.

So to make shit really weird, i go back in yesterday for rehearsal and it's fine. No issues. About an hour in to practice - starts happening again :-/ - if i ramp the input to max, it kinda sorta helps, but it's still there - howling!

so, it's rolling back to Alan today to get looked at. Film at 11.

I started with the Frequency Lsd, then added a Heavy Box 2 proto(a birthday gift from my wife) and suddenly had the only Rollback distortion adding looper made so far, a 2watt amp in a pedal called the HEAD, a Synapse modulating mixer(a birthday gift for my wife so not really mine but kinda), and now i have 3 more on the way(Behemoth 2, PO Box and a Ruckus).

Alan is the MAN! I love how Mountainking is taking over my boards. As i should. They sound unlike any other pedals i use, his communication is top notch and they make my house shake.

Long live the Mountainking. Everyone go buy more so he can keep it alive!!!!!!! A Megalith and Maximum Overdrive are next for meh! :animal:

Nice Pez. How are you using the Rollback? The input knob is boost/cut on the send level and the output is boost/cut on the output jack? Is it 'clean' boost? Or does it affect your tone by itself, besides it's other functions?
I've been searchin' for the dolphins in the sea.

it has a pre for clean to cleanish boost and a post side for the proprietary mountainking overdrive to distortion.

I'm using it right now with the frequency LSD, a custom MSLP 3n1 fuzz monster and an MSLP analog delay. sounds INSANE! But you can really do about 100 things with it. It even has a jack to power another pedal like the old BOSS pedals!

I also have a Channel 2 which was the precursor to the Rollback but only has 1 knob. It does the pre clean boost or hook it up backwards and it does the pre cut. Both are super useful, cool and very fun!

How is the "synapse". How does one use it? Seem's like a cool tool for using pedals a little differently.

Yeah I was wondering if you plug your guitar through the Aux In on the synapse.

Ok so my Megaliths are feeling lonely. Might pull the trigger on a Magnatar and Behemoth II. Might see about sending him a basket case Russian muff todo the Amp on Fire mods. Like I need more Fuzz right now.
