Expression controlled Mix? I never knew. I've been looking for a gain pedal with this feature for a long time now. Would it be possible to see/hear that feature with an expression pedal?

Wow, nice demo
i have to say... i probably like my "faulty" dazzler more

so i maybe even won't send it to you for repair
oh and BTW... that's not how MY Sizzle works at all

it has spots when it's more trebly or buzzy and full on it seems to bring out some mids, too...
or the Gate switch... it seems to be on HIGAIN all the time with the switch just turning the gate on and off
i don't know... it's just more BULLDOZER like, crushing bones and skulls

so what it's a bit muffled, this thing just kills (proved on a friday show, what a tone... out of a 1x12" combo? UNBELIEVABLE)

Wait wait wait, leme get this straight you have added soft touch switching, mix expression control, and now the flip switch controls fuzz gain instead of just gate on or off? I need to try the frazz again.

There's a few changes with this version for sure... I"m a bit biased but I think it's by far the best sounding Frazz yet though. *smile* Did you watch to the end, Jan? A lot of skulls get crushed in the last minute!

I think the toggle is a lot more useful now... before it switched to a different non-gating but still high gain output that I could never get to have the same 'oomph' as the gating side.. so now it's low gain and not-gating but still has the Frazzy character and still gets pretty smoking when dimed.. I think it's more versatile and better sounding. I'll be interested in hearing what you think of it since you had an older style one recently, right?
Thanks for watching and thanks for taking part in that traveling demo, hope you guys get a kick out of it!

Yea I had an old 4 knobbie with no switch. I loved the sound but it didn't play nice with my rig heres hoping this one will play nicer. Any plans to finish this like you are going to the elements and minirrr so I can get in on this for my b-day pedal deal?

yeah, the end was pretty mean, but i didn't like how fast did the gate close

but expression controlled through an expression pedal? what a cool feature!
call me weird, but i like my frazz more

i can't wait for tonight show... and with a little luck, i'm gonna record a short demo for you

I'd love to hear a demo of you using it at a show, that would rule! Hope you have a great night!

just two riffs during the sound check (btw we play funkedup prog rock

)
i think you guys know those riffs well
sorry i didn't realize i was sometimes blocking the sound

i have to say it doesn't sound muffled at the show... we probably have a weird rehearsing space

Sounds awesome, Jan! Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed it! Your Frazz might not be exactly how the new ones are but it still sounds like it kicks butt in all the right ways.
Hope you guys had a great set and I wish I could have been there... the taxi from here to Prague is really expensive though..
