Introducing the Great Wall V3
Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 10:48 pm
After a few iterations, this is THE Great Wall.
This is the Great Wall with no compromises.
The Great Wall Dlx. has always been the most popular version of the Great Wall.
The only difference between the Great Wall V3 and the Great Wall Dlx is the bypassable Tone circuit.
--Two footswitchable fuzz modes!
--Mode One is lower gain, grindier, and also able to be set for some sputtery and gated tones.
--Mode Two is high gain and huge! Activating Mode Two also activates your Fuzz control, making that knob pre-settable for the exact flavor and response you want out of Mode Two.
--I've also added a full-range Gain control, allowing you to majorly clean up either of the modes. I could've given the Gain control a smaller range, but why not give you the full spectrum??
Rather than limiting you to high gain, it's also GREAT because it covers such a huge range of tones.--Compared to the AB-Synth and Chalice, the Great Wall has much more low end and is more densely clipped, with germanium and silicon diodes for a unique texture!
--A few months ago, I tuned the Great Wall circuit for more bass response and fuzz! So no bass toggle necessary! I think the Great Wall has a balanced voice, but it delivers impressive bass response! (There is a Voice toggle on the oscillating Greatest Wall, but that's there for its affect on the oscillation!)
It's not related to the Big Muff, but someone once said the Great Wall can get both cleaner and freakier than the Big Muff.
Whether you're a bassist looking for a flexible bass fuzz, or a guitarist who wants an even bigger muff, this is it!
