I just wish the new Frequency analyzer had a standard 9v power requirement

That would totally change the sound. The Frequency Analyzer circuit basically runs on 15v AC, and you need at least 30v DC to achieve that. The 15v AC gives the FA it’s very very clean sound, which no other ring mod really achieves.

I’ll probably pick one up eventually, though I’d never get rid of my big box Frequency Analyzer. It is special to me.

Carl from Rose Lane, keeps telling me he’s expecting them any day…but as of yet they haven’t arrived.

Sounds good!

Are you replacing the rat with GF?

not replacing exactly, but it will fill that slot in my ehx bag if that’s what you mean.

…..nothing can replace a rat, I found that out after a long time buying and selling pedals…..the rat is still my ‘go to’ recording overdrive/distortion and it’s also my ‘plug in and play husker du songs for fun’ pedal….the EHX bag is my early revolution set up which is more fuzz/clean orientated.

…..or maybe I’m just trying to convince myself I need more effects. :facepalm:

The Tone Wicker is more than just your ordinary Muff. Yes, this thing will eat the Rat for breakfast and digest it to a harmonically designed distortion box…. Very cool.

Still no luck at my local shop.

The funny thing is I own a Rat Pedal and I a loved it for a long time. I used it on bass for years to give me that bite. The beauty of any pedal is, it answers a question you have about your own tone. These days I use Bass Big Muff for bass, not because I work here, but it really gives me that bite, but I can take it to new area on the fly. As I get older, I tend to start playing heavier. No more Barry Manilow cover band.
