OMFG
First of all, this makes a great great great bass OD.
I like it as well as ANY I have tried and I have tried quite a few.
But wait..
Putting it at the end of my fuzz/dirt chain brings every fuzz I use up a BIG notch in "balls to the wall" bass fuzz tone.
Its like a bass fuzz "enchanter".. which as you know is even better than an enhancer.
And if I dare switch on the osc. switch.. fuck. Its over.
This kicked my bass tuned Hot Cake clone off of my board.
That is saying something because I thought I would never shelve that one.
Never say never.
Tom, Thanks.

I agree with this thread

I love the Arc Flash, and it's my go-to bass OD!

Glad to hear it! I think the Arc Flash is more loved by bassists than anyone.

I started a thread about it at talkbass but they are interested unless you come johnny on the spot with clips.
I could do some but then they would all buy one...

Do it. They should give Tom their money so they don't spend it on stupid choices.

Musket's pretty ace, but they need some knowledge of the Arc Flash smashed into their heads.

Sure, I like the musket.
It rips on chords and high riffs but damn.. if you want to do stops and starts..
like most muffs, its a noise fest during the "rests".
I am just so in love with gated/bitty/synthy fuzzes that its hard for me to hug a muff clone these days.
I will work up an arc flash demo worthy of drool.
I just got really excited and did a NPD thread before I was ready to shoot the full load.
