i’m definitely considering snatching one up. and i’d definitely love to hear some feedback or see a review being no one carries too much EHX around me. so, anyone have one and would like to share?

October 25, 2009 at 2:25 am #102656GorillaSalsaMemberI have one in the effects loop of my Hot Rod Deville. When used with distortion, it sounds a bit like the intro to “Of Sins And Shadows” by Symphony X.
October 25, 2009 at 4:02 am #102658Mr.GrimMemberno bird here, but i do have the mole! i use it before my metal muff with top boost to get more low end for chunky metal backup rhythm , but its still set low, usually right about 9 o’clock. i cant place it after the distortion, because then it just squashes the signal and kinda mutes it.

February 17, 2010 at 3:37 pm #107622TenSecondTedMemberI’ve got one but I’m not too keen. The treble is just too harsh to be useable within my current set up.
Although, I bet it sounds great driving a decent tube amp. I’m hanging on to mine until I get a better amp and probably picking up a lpb-1 to give me a boost for solos.

February 17, 2010 at 7:08 pm #107629TenSecondTedMemberSo Grim, how are you finding the Bird?
February 18, 2010 at 6:52 pm #107672Mr.GrimMemberwell, like most, i find it to be very very to treble’y but EQ’d right it can make your guitar sound like a classic recording, as if it was coming out of a gramophone or sum thing, that’s kinda cool for recording or a second guitar in a song.
i found that you can actualy use it with the mole, and they will cancel out the extremeness of each other and you can use them together like a bass and treble on an amp, if you want to tune in a different eq sound.
i also like using the mole on guitar to give rhythm riffs a heaver sound/more low end (like the band Korn, tone wise not style)
but i found that it needs to be placed before OD/Fuzz/Distortion or it will just sound like mudd.February 18, 2010 at 9:33 pm #107681TenSecondTedMemberHave you used it to drive a tube amp?
Mine sounds like old man’s pants through my solid state marshall and vox valvetronic. I’m hanging onto it though in case it becomes a revelation when I finally get an all tube monster!
Think I’ll start a ‘swearbox’
😆February 19, 2010 at 5:03 am #107694Mr.GrimMemberyes i only use tube amps, the one i have used it on is a rare one from early 80’s London that not many people know of, but simply its a 60W 1×12 combo, like a Mesa Boogie Mark 2 C+ clone with graffic EQ.
