Arc Flash clip/vid request
I'm kind of intrigued by this one, and I wouldn't mind hearing more clips/tracks that use it. Any takers?

Re: Arc Flash
I don't have any clips, but I love my AF. Tom rigged up a bypassable tone circuit for mine, it's perfect. I can use that pedal for literally anything. Clean boost, light drive, heavy drive, fuzz, distortion, and scrambled mania. The tone control is really cool on the higher gain settings. like when it's completely cranked and crazy, I can dial back the tone knob a bit so I don't make people's ears bleed

Re: Arc Flash
It came today.
I tried it with 4 different basses, a Jazz, a ’51 P reissue, a P and a Jag and was delighted with the results. All of them sounded great.
I’m used to fuzz that changes the tone, but with the Arc Flash the tone was exactly the same as the bypassed signal. No low end loss and that Jazz honk came through perfectly.
In the mode down position lower settings on the gain produced a beautiful transparent boost. After around 1:00 o’clock on the gain over drive then fuzz kicked in for a nice smooth goodness.
In the mode up position, lower gain settings produced sputtery nastiness. At higher settings the fuzz became thicker and produced a beautiful frying bacon sound.
I was also able to reproduce a sound like I was being electrocuted in a horror flick.
Volume is not an issue the Arc Flash is loud; I could roll my bass’s volume to almost all the way off and still not need to go to 12:00 o’clock on the Flash.
Notes: Higher output pickups produced quicker overdrive and smoother fuzz at all settings. The sputtery effect was best with low output pickups or the volume of the bass rolled way back.
This pedal doesn’t like my 1 spot makes it very noisy, but a boss adaptor was perfectly quiet.
