My face had been melted...

So I had about 30 mins to jam on my new (sexy) 4545. Crazy/sexy/beautiful fuzz. I was having a blast with the oscillations. I ran my oscillations into my wrong side of Uranus (twss?), and then into a delay. Felt very dandy warholsish. I'll post a video, my ears were ringing. I think inkay play with that highcut trimmer.

So, I had no shortage of insane noise swashes. Any setting recommendations for a pretty standard rhythm fuzz tone? My guess is no, but I know it's capable of ALOT of sounds.

Seriously awesome job Brian! One of the craziest pedal I've played (in the best way possible).

keep the y toggle in the middle position. kinda tames out the crazy you get from the x...

I am really beginning to want this pedal!

thanks!
well, i just plugged mine in and was able to get a pretty nice fuzzy-yet-slightly-stuck-wah sound that would be a good rhythm tone.

x, y switches both set to center.
saturation all the way clockwise.
x set anywhere from fully clockwise to 12 o clock, depending on where you want the filter frequency to be. i was using it around 2 o clock and it was good and upper midrange-y.
y set fully maximum, then back it off ever so slightly. it should be around 5 o clock or so.

now control the saturation with your guitar's volume knob - from 0-6 was the real sweet spot for more fuzzy/heavy overdrive tones, but if you push it all the way up you get an interesting swell-like saturation effect. this will vary depending on how hot your pickups are, though, so change to taste.

i added this to the settings page as well... let me know how it works out for you!

Cool! Hopefully I can try it tonight!

received mine in the mail yesterday...finally....and it sounds just amazing!!
pretty soon, i'll be wanting a guuhgh. a custom one!!

[hazelwould]

Aight. Try this:

X/Y switches fully up. Both knobs fully cranked and the saturation knob fully counter clockwise.

Pretty basic fuzz tone w/ a unique texture.

I've found my secret weapon though. The Montreal Assembly WSOU. Set to
Standard bitcrush at 8 bits has a clean blended fizz thing going on. Running the 4545 into the WSOU gives a fat heavy 4545. Then when you sweep the frequency of the WSOU it gets this insanse vowel like sound.
