thinking of getting an arc effects gamut. i have a music man 112 RD and an acoustic 140.
does anybody use treble boosters into amps with lots of headroom? does it sound sick? or is it too trebly?
thanks broooos

Rangemasters sound excellent with dirt, but this Gamut demo sounds decent with a clean Hiwatt.

I play a Gamut with both settings around 1 o'clock with an aluminum guitar into an absolutely clean amp. The Gamut is always on. I like to think of it as the hair on my scrotum of a clean tone. Little whisker here and there, little growl when you stroke it.
In a non-perverted way, I seriously do keep it on 24/7. It boosts, clarifies, and really widens the dynamics of really any guitar I feed through it

I put the Gamut pre big muff, it brightens it and pushes it so much it turns into a distortion!

Brightness?
Distortion?
I kind of like dark fuzz more!

Guess I should rephrase that. Kind of acts like the PRE control on the Musket, in that it cuts through more

I understand what you are saying though, it acts as a preamp in a way, in that it shapes what is to come after it and provides some more juice. Sometimes I find when I put the fuck OD before a fuzz it brightens the fuzz up too much for my liking and I like it dark. Although, I do like the added dynamics and extra oomph it brings.
Lately I have been using the monarch as my PRE fuzz pedal. It's a nice toneshaper that doesn't brighten up my tone unless I tell it to! I would like to get my hands on a range master type pedal at some point - either the Gamut or the sparkle motion!

I had the Sparkle Motion for a bit before I got the Gamut. It can't get as dark as the Gamut can when the tone control is cranked compared to the Gamut. But it can do the Fuck crackle

I do a similar thing with my doomidrive, crank it with the gain low (it's an older model so even less than the new ones anyway) and never turn it off.
