I’ve never played a White Finger, but the Black Finger was the one pedal that improved my sound without fail. I hesitate to call it an effect; it’s certainly a stompbox, but there’s really not much ‘effect’ happening. I found it warmed up everything I played while still offering a strong attack, and it somehow managed to smooth my whole sound out without drastically altering anything. I can’t really describe it, actually, so I’ll just say this: I never turned mine off.

Also probably worth mentioning: When mine was still operational (I still have to get around to contacting EHX about that pot I broke), it earned me one of the excruciatingly few tonal compliments I’ve ever received that didn’t have the words ‘crazy’ or ‘gnarly’ in it.

i know someone who used to have one… he says it was a bit too trebly (even for a treble booster) and ear piercing.

according to the schematics i’ve found, the circuit is the same as the LBP-1 (as everyone else has said) but the input and output caps are different (0.002uF instead of 0.1uF).

$35 is pretty good i’d say… as long as it’s working and in reasonable cosmetic condition.
