so, i have a katrina relief DDSS (which is the cornerstone of my distorted tone) and a Tone Press, which i use for both dirty and clean tones.
i needed a new voice,
hence,
the EXACTA!
typical solid build, my girlfriend said "What's up with those colors?!"
LOL
yep, i like it.
very small form factor, and i'm still playing with the different controls and settings,
so i'm not totally versed yet.
don't care what it compares to......
but the quality of the sound it makes is top shelf.
I thought i'd just use it as a 'trick' pedal, to throw my otherwise dialed-in little universe of noise into full dr demento....
but i found that with certain settings, and stacked with certain other pedals,
i've actually found a new solo voice!
i think i like the classic Triangle sound Scooped mids setting best, with the right toggle setting to the right, fat and tight like the manual says.
if i put the pedal at the END of the chain (just the opposite of the way i've always done before), then what my vibe pedal does to it, and especially my wah, is just amazing.
rather than a heavy movement of the univibe, or the wide sweep of the wah,
i get this really vocal quality, that i really did not expect.
a nice surprise.
if i push the pedal with my fulltone fatboost,
wow.
there is the formula.
it's as if a layer of clarity is added on top of the thick midrange that the fuzz creates.
there is no other way for me to get that sound out of my rig, except with that particular setup.
i'm still experimenting,
and i will certainly post clips soon.
i'm loving this pedal.
thanks dave!
