No not very much at all but i thought it would be nice to own one. I won't dump any money in one and instead maybe i'll get something else. Thanks Mike!

The Hotcake is for benecol (sounds bloody great - turns out these really do need reverse log 50K pots in the Gain position) - the Muff is for Gareth of Sell Crazy

Have you ever tried your hand at building more complex audio equipment?

mic preamp or nice compressor?

I've got a SaltBreaker, formally owned my Mr Progrockabuse, where does that fit into the break down? Surely it is not one of a kind?

wowzer.

Lovely pedal. I use it all the time as the defacto drive channel for my Pro Jr. Sounds wicked at ultra low indoors evening time volume.

Mike, what does the bypass switch do on the IC Muff/Rat combo?

Post by **Doog** » Mon Nov 19, 2012 3:31 pm

As I'm a fan of speaking out of turn, I can tell you it's a tone bypass switch for the IC Muff, like wot I done demo'd for him a while back:

Fantastic.

Right off the original (V5 I think?) gives you back DEM mids

An alternative way via this guy I made last night:

Drop R17, Connect Tone3 via 5KA pot + 1K to ground = Mids Control.

One day, I'm gonna have to get some kinda dual-drive pedal. Like, IC Muff and RAT. Or IC Muff and klon. Or IC Muff and Harmonic Percolator... so many possibilities.
