Only thing that could make it better are external toggles to easier manage the internal dip switches. Beyond that, perfection. :thumb:


Agreed on all counts. I've been playing this with the gain at about 10:00 into a gained up plexi and it is fucking righteous.

I've never been so smitten by a pedal from the very first time I clicked it on. It's just so fucking awesome.

Got a shipping notice for mine too. Way ahead of schedule :thumb:

Looking forward to spending time with this on bass. I'm hooked on the traditional Green Muff tone but have never got it to work well in the mix. This could be the solution.

Glad to hear you're diggin it guys :thumb:

For those still interested - I'm updating the site now but it'll be another 2 weeks or so before I get a fresh batch ready but I'm cranking these things out quicker than expected.

Well, I will be getting one. Beat my Amp Gas again so I would have money to spend.

Had one for a few weeks now and it has definitely filled my muff needs. I love how rude and aggressive it sounds. I'm probably in the minority but I like having the switches on the inside, it keeps me from constantly messing with them, plus once I found my setting I haven't really felt the urge to mess with them anyway. Love this thing :!!!:

Where are the DIP switches referenced in this thread? I've opened my ARC Big Green twice and was unable to locate them. :?:

Here's a gutshot from the old enclosure, don't know if it's still like that though:

Thanks for the link. I might need a new corrective lens prescription, or that photo is kind of blurry. Even with it zoomed up to 175%, I'm still not seeing DIP switches. The layout looks about the same as the one on my board, though there may be slight differences. Has anyone determined what the DIP switches do (or did if they are no longer a standard feature)? Were they an internal midrange control?

Which version do you have? The original enclosure had them inside (the red things). I think the hammond enclosures only have the one switch on the outside.

I have the newer, hammond enclosure model ... which means no DIP switches for me, apparently. :grumpy:

It still sounds amazing, though, and has at least three settings that are magically fuzzylicious. The gain level peaks within the standard doom range, and the flat and boosted mid settings allow for excellent alterno-shoegazey textures and fuzzy overdrive tones respectively.
