Barber Dirty Bomb

This is a really great pedal. Some very nice sounds on offer. Sorry but there's some horrible blues/metal wank in this, the kind I bitch about, but the pedal actually really lends itself to those styles so I'll excuse myself this one time.

Sounds kind of Fendery at low gain, then a bit JCM800ish at mid gain, then a bit Randall or Mesa like at high gain.

The second one is a bit dodgy - I have fairly bright Humbuckers which sound very honky at the higher gain settings. When I roll the tone down, it fares much better but makes everything else sound muddy.

For some reason the amp's own gain when I do a comparison came off much brighter in the recording, less muffled. Not sure why.

The first clip does have better tone (to me) than the second.
Sounds really good..

You gotta love things made by Mary Landers.

Yeah like I said I had the tone knob way down by accident... d'oh. I Also moved the mic nearerl. Apparently with a condenser I should move it back a bit?
