Dark Boost into MXR bass blowtorch :)
Mxr calls it overdrive but it sounds fuzzy at extreme settings.
I usually have it set milder but I am fuzzless :no: so it will have to do the job for now.

My favorite basic tremolo is the Dano Tuna Melt. It's optical and has square and sine wave tremolo. I can't find another like it, so I might trace it and build my own.

The tuna melt can be set to sound very similar to the tube trem in my old silvertone. I have a video somewhere...
Have been wanting the cygnet, so building one could be fun.

By the way, I think I found what the Tuna Melt is based on. I still need to do some comparing, but I think it's another design stolen from a boutique pedal. Most of the "food" series are blatant clones.

You can also get a blackface fender amp like the deluxe reverb. :cool:

I´ve always used a boss pn-2 for my tremelo tones but since I bought the DRRI it gets no use at all...
