Atoner: tweekers heaven and hell
So I just received an Atoner clone and was wondering what the squelch does. On mine it only seems to do anything on the first quarter of a turn and after that the pedal goes quiet. I'm also getting some LFO sound when bypassed, fixable?

Re: Atoner
The squelch is a gate, and the one I had was pretty extreme too, turning it up too high would just cut out all sound. Mine didn't have any LFO bleed, so I assume that's a fixable problem with yours, but I couldn't tell you how to do it.

Re: Atoner
Otherwise I hear what all the fuss is about you can get some crazy fuzz that "breathes"

So many knobs! It took me a few hours but I'm starting to "get" this pedal, Just thought I would share. If you like to fuck with knobs and have the patience this is a wonderful fuzz.

Re: Atoner: tweekers heaven and hell
If you can post a pic of how the bypass switch is wired I can maybe help you fix the bleed issue.
You can probably fix the problem by wiring the switch in a way where the input of the effect is sent to ground when the effect is bypassed.

Yeah! It's hard to figure out but once you do there are some seriously great sounds in there.

Hey I just bought one of these off of my buddy (the actual 4ms one; not a clone). It's coming from Arizona.

I'm curious to see how it feedback loops.

Hi, do you know how the three internal trimpots (Squealch, Pos Low, Pos High) work? Are they trekable without any risk? Many thanks!
