Eagletone Distortion Pedal Review

Eagletone Distortion Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a guitarist that was used to using the on board volume to bust open the floodgates of power from my amplifiers, I wanted to find a pedal that gave me options so that I could shape my sound at a lower volume and then raise the volume as need be. I was initially pretty thrilled with the pedal and believed it would have a place in my pedal board...then, I had some reservations...
Short and to the point, Eagletone (Biyang) do not make an adapter for their pedals. (Personally, I thought this rather odd.) A regular 9 volt adapter will not work with this pedal either. Thankfully, Danelectro has the D-1 9 volt adapter which is rated at 9.6 volts and it works great. If you buy this pedal or any other pedal made by this company, get a Danaelectro D-1 adapter.
This pedal has options (Normal/Max/Turbo) on a mini toggle switch. IMHO, Max had more of an edge than Turbo, but knowing that in advance, it's easy to adjust and use. Basically, it's three Rat distortion clones in a box...
I do like it and I can see that given time to tweak it and find the sweet spot for each position of the toggle, I will use it.
Had the company made their own power adapters or at least made the use of something more universal possible, I'd have given it 4 stars...
Had the audible difference in positions on the toggle switch been consistant, it's a 5 star pedal.

The Eagletone "Mouse" Distortion Pedal. Famous classic circuitry was used to create a round, thick tone with lots of clarity and sustain. Equipped with 3 modes, Normal, Max and Turbo offering the player a multitude of unique types of distortion. There's a distortion knob which allows you to add or decrease the amount of drive for a heavy metal sound or just a nice crunch! Also a Filter knob has been added for more additional tone! The metal chassis is built to take a stomping and backed with a full 5 year warranty. It runs on a 9 volt battery or any 9v AC Adaptor (not included). The Eagletone "Mouse" Distortion Pedal will really make your guitar tone stand out!

Source Audio Soundblox Pro Multiwave Bass Distortion Effects Pedal Review

Source Audio Soundblox Pro Multiwave Bass Distortion Effects Pedal
Average Reviews:

I'm giving this 5-stars YET I ended up returning it. In the final analysis, an amazing pedal but it just wasn't a fit for me and my style. That said, many players will find this a welcome addition to their pedalboard for home, gigs and the studio.
Source has given us bass players a truly novel pedal. Well thought out and executed. Quite honestly, it is unlike every other distortion pedal for bass. Really. It has the ability to produce an incredibly wide range of sounds and tones like no other single pedal. Here is my bottom-line...
- Most importantly, know upfront that if you are looking for "traditional" OD, boost and/or fuzz capabilities this pedal doesn't go there. It doesn't replace those pedals.
- It's real strength - and what it excels at - is in producing a very wide-array of synth-like tones. I've NEVER heard anything like it. Truly amazing range. You won't believe what you will hear. Sounds you've never imagined in your wildest dreams. And I might add...Very, VERY funky! Could potentially replace envelope filters and the like that you may be using.
- The ability to seamlessly morph from one sound setting to another (pro model only via an expression pedal) is incredible.
- Pick playing just doesn't do the pedal justice. This is a big one...Sounds much, much better if you are primarily a finger-style or slap player rather than a pick player like me. The pedal really shines and is at its best when you play finger/slap style. Pick playing seems to mute and alter the intended sound dynamics - for me, in a negative way. Not sure why this occurs.
- I've never seen a pedal with so many ways to adjust and fine-tune every setting - especially on the pro model. The settings are very sensitive and you can really tailor every setting to suit you, your bass, your amp and your style - and then save it to one of 6 locations.
- Made just for bass. Their proprietary technology really works as promised. It does an amazing job of handling and not losing any bass tone. You can readily hear each string (individually and in chords) even when highly distorted. Far from the usual undifferentiated, muddy mess of sound that most distortion pedal produce.
All in all, Source offers the bass player a pedal like no other. In a world of me-too products they have broken the mold and the rules. But, you need to determine if the sounds it produces are a fit with your style and musical tastes. Only you can do that. I suggest you go to their site - sourceaudio - and check out their sound sample videos and audios, which are very well-done incidentally.
As always.....YMMV.........

The Soundblox Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro inherits the power and clarity of the original Soundblox Multiwave Distortion and adapts it to the unique frequency range of the bass guitar. Bassists can effectively combine complex chords and intervals with distorted tones - multi band processing eliminates the mush and allows each note to ring clear and true. The pedal also features single band processing for more traditional distortion sounds. It's the perfect pedal for both the studio and stage.

Way Huge Electronics WHE401 Swollen Pickle mkII Jumbo Fuzz Guitar Effects Pedal Review

Way Huge Electronics WHE401 Swollen Pickle mkII Jumbo Fuzz Guitar Effects Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pedal is versatile and sound like a million bucks. I'm able to get a "fuzz face" sound out of it as well as more modern, "fizzy" type fuzzs as well. It interacts well with my other pedals, a wah and over drive box, without any problems. The internal trim pots make this a pedal that most anyone who wants to use fuzz instead of distortion can use to get their own particular sound. I typically run it with a low power over drive pedal "on" as well, which makes for a nicely compressed Eric Johnson type of sound. I'm running it into the front end of a 65 Deluxe Reverb RI amp and it interacts well with it. The construction on it are top-notch and I fully expect this pedal to keep running for a decade or more. One caveat, I'm not a gigging musician, so it hasn't had to survive the rigors of constant travel for me.

The most sought after corpulent Way Huge pedal is back with new features... and it still has "more fuzz than a moldy peach!"With added controls the Swollen Pickle MkII surrenders super high-gain fuzz with copious amounts of smooth low-end to all who dare plug into it. With a twist of the SUSTAIN control you're taken from mild crunch to Armageddon! The FILTER control retains its trademark insane range of heavily band-pass-filtered tones distinguished by remarkable girth and sizzle and the LOUDNESS puts out enough volume to clobber any amp!Newly added features include a tone stack SCOOP control that elicits classic Swollen Pickle mid-scoop or flat mid-frequency sweep and a CRUNCH knob to adjust the compression intensity of the fuzz. Finally under the hood the Swollen Pickle MkII has two internal mini voice controls: VOICE sets the intensity of the external SCOOP control from light to heavy mid cut and CLIP varies between two sets of clipping diodes for smooth or opened fuzz sustain.Technical InfoInternal ControlsThese controls are for fine-tuning to your guitar and amp rig: Voice - sets the intensity of the external scoop control Clip -varies between smooth or opened fuzz sustain Controls LOUDNESS - generates enough volume to clobber any amp FILTER - adjusts the range of heavily band-pass-filtered tones SUSTAIN - releases masses of heavy violent fuzz SCOOP - sweeps between mid-scoop to flat mid-frequency CRUNCH - alters the compression intensity of the sustain

I love this pedal!!! It is so versatile and even more importantly, sounds INCREDIBLE. From the useful tap tempo setting to the automatic quantizing function to the fact that I can use an expression pedal to bring in my feedback....this has completely changed my on stage sound and comfort! I play 1970's dub reggae and use this on my vox and a digitech delay on my guitar, but I think I'll have to get another one of these!!! A must have.

Its a pretty okay fuzz pedal and a great price. But if you looking for a high quality fuzz this is not the pedal for you, if this is the case I would go for a muff or something. But if your just looking for a quick fix for a good price this little guy will do the trick.
