T Rex Mudhoney

Apart from having a cool name, does anyone know anything or have any reviews of the T Rex Mudhoney? I might have the opportunity to get one cheap and wanted to know peoples thoughts before I jump on/off it.

I know James used to have one, possibly went onto Proggie?

James > Me > Proggie.

I can't remember it all that well, although I loved it at the time.

e: wait, I don't remember sending it to Proggie. I know he's got it (or at least had it) but I don't know who I sent it to.

Didn't Proggie send it to Noirie? No idea why I remember that...

What's cheap? They seem to vary in price a lot. Sometimes around Â£50, sometimes over Â£100 (one recently on ebay for about Â£115).

I had one for a while and liked it but I don't think I had a nice amp when I had it. I sold it because I had a few different dirt boxes at the time and the things it did that others didn't weren't enough for me to sell it. I liked what it did, but I also had (and still have) an OCD, some fuzzes and a Catalinbread Stallion thing.

The circuit is based on a Rat, but it doesn't sound very Rat like. Actually I had a Rat at the same time and never really noticed the similarity. It was only found out by someone checking the circuit.

I can't even remember the chain of sale, but it's been round shortscale a bit. I originally bought it from the Matamp forum.

Here's a pic of me drunkenly explain it's virtues to Proggy at Doogfest II.

Â£65 new. However I think i've decided to give it a miss as i've bought too much stuff recently and i've got a Tonebender on the way from Mike.

i got it via noirie, now it's in chisa's hands

great overdrive sounds that retain the low end and pushing the boost button gives you a nice thick dirt/fuzz with plenty of volume. only gripe is the location of power inlet. it's right next to the output, meaning right angled cables are a no no.

might even get it back off chisa at progfest.

Any opinions on the T-Rex Mudhoney pedal?

One seems to have done the rounds with forum members?

I'm not sure how to clasify it. Is seems to cover o/d, distortion and fuzz sounds, is that right?

And I've read of sonic and schematic similarities to Rats and Bigg Muffs?

Oh yeah, I totally remember the details of this three year old thread.

Totally.

Thanks for bumping another ancient fucking thread. This time I even got to think "Ace Reece is posting again!" before realising he wasn't, you're just some annoying necrobot.

Ro S · Post by **Ro S** » Tue Jul 09, 2013 7:49 pm

In future, I'll just open a new thread on an identical subject then. Okay?!

I think time to lay off the necro threads now

If you're interested start a new thread maybe?

Hi Ro S,

I've seen it plenty of times (mainly on other sites I hasten to add) where newbs post on a subject and get a resounding cacophony of "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTIONS WE ALREADIES DIDs THAT AND ANSWERED EVERYTHING EVER BECAUSE WE'RE MEMBERS OF BARBELITH.COM AND REALLY QUITE STUCK UP"* so i totally understand your rweasoning here and assumption on appropriate posting etiquette. That being said we are (USUALLY) quite chilled about stuff like that.

I think as a general guidance it's quite fine to start a new thread on a subject that has been covered before - mainly if your question or query is one that wasn't ansered in the older threads.

Hope that helps, do stick around - there's always some teething troubles, tempers are sometimes short, shrug it off. No harm done.

*yeah I still hold a grudge from like a decade ago or something. Bunch of cunts

INB4 EKWATTS says something to fan the flames after my conciliatory tones. Probably using the c-word.

Hello Dave - [I can't get that League of Gentleman scene out of my head now, sorry]

Thanks for your words.

I feel like I need to get some armour to post here sometimes. :p

We're The Goonies of the internet. Brash, loud, confused, yet terribly terribly brave.

Like any site it's got it's own culture and a particularly fine brand of strong personalities. Takes a while to find your feet. It did me. Pretty sure I had blazing rows with loads of folk I love to bits these days.

I encountered him before. He was very pleasant then either if I recall. I guess a manky old dog doesn't change its spots.
