Thanks for officially answering those questions about this mysterious pedal. As I mentioned on your Instagram post, you made me buy one, and it's really good at shaping. It's almost like the DG Harmonic Booster but more specific in its kind. The form factor is quite annoying, though, but who cares for an always-on pedal?

I had one of these back in... oof... 2002 or 2003? My mum got it for me for Christmas I think. It worked for maybe a year or two, was obnoxiously noisy, then I got turned onto a Zoom multi FX unit and then the Boss OD, which has been my go-to. I guess the Ibanez Phat Hed took issue with that because when I went to plug it in the next time it was Phat... dead hahaha

Great video. I always hated the distortion sounds, while others said they are good Darkglass alternatives. And I thought I took crazy pills! Glad someone competent and knows great sounds confirms im not! At least in that regard... 😉 Keep up the great videos, man! Really cool pedal! Finally someone who made it work (while many think they can run that hollow sounding distortion and have something cool going.) Btw I can only recommend the Tritonlab Lazy Cat mk2. They are not easy to come by, you sometimes can find them on the used market tho. It's hands down my favorite Overdrive pedal for bass, no competition and nothing sounds quite like it! I bet you would like it too. That pedal changed everything for me 😃

Can I use an EWS mid pedal to do the same thing and boost 3K? also what happens if I boost 3K on the infinity EQ ? does it have the same effect ?

I sincerely disagree that the clean circuit of this pedal is it's only usable setting, the distortion channel is one of my favorite tones of all time, it's the only bass distortion I've ever heard without a blend control that doesn't struggle with low end loss. Not sure about the association with Hed PE but I do know that Jo Bench from Bolt Thrower used one, I was never able to find out how though. Either way, I'm stoked to see this pedal get the recognition it deserves, and I would totally buy a new one if any builders out there decide to make a clone. Thanks for uploading such a sick demo! I've got 4 of them in my collection but two of them have those goofy switches you mentioned, the retracting knobs are fantastic for the diy shows I play but the jacks and switches aren't great

Cool trick! I do the same thing with my Source Audio Aftershock pedal. There are hidden "Voice" and "Voice Frequency" controls that allow me to boost or cut mids before the distortion circuit. They can be accessed through the app or bound to physical knobs (replacing "Clean" and "Tone" knobs which I almost never use). I accentuate high mids before distortion for definition, or low mids for "wooliness". This pedal also has 4-band parametric EQ after distortion, noise gate, low cut, clean high cut (making it possible to mix in only the low end of clean signal), and the WHOLE SECOND CHANNEL (with separate pre- and post-EQ) for distortion stacking! I just wish that there was a version of this pedal where all of its awesome features would be accessible as physical controls, and not only though the app.

@@Paajanenae I also have the EQ2, and it's much better in that regard. Thanks to the screen, 99% of the functionality is available without the app. Only some truly set-and-forget settings require the app, like routing options and footswitch modes (e. g. how tuner is activated).

Do you feel that running all these pedals into the B7k preamp instead of after it helps your tone? I always run my preamp first in the chain
@Paajanenae
28 күн бұрын
Pre-gain tone shaping wouldn't make much sense if you placed all your pedals after the gain 😄 The last pedal in your chain affects your tone the most and all the others only control to what the last pedal will react to
@howler9171
14 күн бұрын
You "should" be running your distortion first into the preamp so that your preamp does all the tone shaping. Your distortion/OD doesn't really control your tone it just adds dirt to it. Preamp pedals are meant to go after everything else and then go straight to your amp/interface/FOH etc. But there's really no right or wrong though at the end of the day

Where the heck did you get the Hed PE connection to the name? It has zero to do with the PD7. "Phat Hed" is just your typical late 90s, early 2000s edgelord spelling. It means "Fat Head". Just look at some of the DOD pedals from that era, you could easily find a bunch of edgy naming conventions during the era when nu metal still ran mainstream. Nothing to do with Hed PE (which stands for Higher Education Planet Earth/Planetary Evolution).
