Rat or a Muff

Dunno if this sounds jerkish, but it's not intentional; I'd think the Elements probably has too many fiddly controls too close together for a legally blind person to operate without accidentally messing up the tone, specially if he has sausage fingers like me. A Rat or similar has few enough controls that it's easy enough to remember where each control is.

Yeah, the elements is hard for me to use because I can't just turn everything all the way up and jam. I have to care. Sucks.

But like, not?

Mid-Fi Demo Tape Fuzz
This has the punk attitude.

good call on the blind issue
definately not jerkish but i didnt think of it at all
but glad i mentioned it for you to pick up on it
elements does have a lot of knobs
props to you pollinator
its not till mid oct so plenty of time for more suggestions
but im at rat tail and minifuck in second after day 1
i worry about gettin him a muff , might be the wrong sound for middle aged punkrock
if hes usin a ds1 i think a muff(esp if its the wrong one for his rig)could end upb bein kinda blah

For that price range, you could go with a vintage Proco Rat and a Barnacle Fuzz. A nice twofer of gnarliness.

Does he not like the distortion from the 5150? Having owned one that amp was an absolute beast for hardcore/metal/punk, I never really desired a pedal :idk:

ryan summit · Post by **ryan summit** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:35 pm

no pedal whatsoever?
fuck his birthday , ima steal his amp
no mention of like or dislike
just wanted to get him somethin dope
what would you suggest that would go good with it if not od or distortion
im open, thats why i asked here

He probably likes to make noise. A fuzz factory? Or something similar and noisy like one of those fuzzhuggers?
Or something not dirty like a chorus or a flanger or a phaser or a reverb. MXR's bigger flanger can be had around $100 used and a dirt pedal? Mix it up, maybe. Or a fuck od sounds good too.

Nah, Rat Tail for sure.

I'd def hook him up with the new Earthbound Audio Iron Pig for some rat goodness pushed to the MAX.

But, like, also, there are two rat tails in the b/s/t right now.
