I've ended up with an 80s non-sloped glow-in-the-dark rat2 and I hate hate HATE it with single coils (ie. most of my guitars) but it sounds incredible with my 80s yamaha Les Paul copy.
With a Mustang/80s Tokai strat, the tone filter goes from awful harsh upper-mid/treble with honky mids and not enough bass until about 2 o'clock where you get blanket-over-amp sound. It's really bad for the low-mid gain tones I want.
With the Yamaha, it kind of sounds good with the filter anywhere. Gain up to about 10-11 o'clock is all I need for a classic blues/rock sound. It's just not a sound I use out of the house and I think an EQD Gray channel would do what I want and then some. I think I'm anti- tone controls on pedals, they should just be voiced 'right'.

I didn't know what to expect really. I thought I'd be able to get more variation out of it (low/mid/hi gains) but it just doesn't gel with either of my main guits.

A lot of people hate the Timbre Wolf, but surely it has some decent sounds inside for what--- 200 Euros?

What I'm thinking. Hell, if it makes those sounds like in the video onboard without external fx it's right up my alley

For Christmas the main gift I got my girlfriend was a Little Bits synth kit. She would always ask to borrow mine and liked to go off & plug in headphones and play with it sometimes when I would play pedals, so I figured she'd like to have her own. Before I took her to the airport to go visit her parents for the holidays, we plugged up my 3 oscillators with her 2, attached that series of 5 oscillators to both of our Little Bits speakers, and unleashed a wall of ungodly noise like I've never heard before. When she gets back in town I'll post a clip, but it was some devastatingly heavy harsh noise that you absolutely wouldn't expect to be coming from something the size of a 12" ruler.

I haven't touched my 856 for Zellersasn in 2 months now but I'm too afraid to sell it. First world problem, but more guidance is needed.
I'll probably end up selling the thing, because that $375 is like 3/4 of building a new case, but I feel like I'm missing out on something? I don't know, this is a whiny 16 year old livejournal post.

Do you have an Organelle perhaps? Or just a computer-to-MIDI interface? I built a tool in PureData that makes the 856 way more functional.

I do not, and I have no interest in using a computer outside of the actual recording interface. Computers are the crux of my life.
