    Hi,

    I own a reissue Small Clone and two versions of the old Clone Theory- v1 has a black/silver face and v2 black/red. They sound very different from each other- I’ll say that you’d get closest to the Small Clone sound heard in the video with a v2 Clone Theory . However, the rate of the LFO on my v2 Clone Theory doesn’t go as slow as the one on my reissue Small Clone. Hope that helps!

    Thank you sir!

    Wow, that explanation will help me with other stuff as well as the DMM TT issue :thumb:

    I wonder if the Effects Send is affected by the Blend knob? Will be checking this out..
    It would still be cool and simple if the pedal had a stereo Output jack, so I could use a TRS to split the signal there.

    Got my 5-knobber w/ yellow graphics from ebay, it had been severly thrashed- punk rock style. The foot switch was stomped almost through the case. (Dr. Martens?) I paid £60 for it, i think, plus some £££ for shipping. The seller managed to ship it in a too-big cardboard box with only a plastic grocery bag around the pedal. No kidding.

    True story, bro- best of all: when I plugged it in, the pedal worked :rawk:
    For 2 minutes… :freak:

    Was planning to get it fixed up anyway, so off it went to CJ Landry at cjlectronics in Texas.
    It’s become one of my fave effects, it has got an instantly recognizable sound to it- and I 100% agree with the above post regarding it being simple to use- just crank the controls and go from there!
    It’s got fuzz, one octave down and engaging the “Bass” switch it seems to me to go down TWO octaves, rumbling like boulder throwing trolls :metal:

    There is a volume drop when it’s on, especially when using the Blend control to mix in the dry signal, but that can easily be fixed with a simple clean boost or EQ after the pedal. I have it in a true bypass loop with a Boss EQ.
    My only pet peeve with the Dlx Multiplexer is, that the fuzz has a rather weak volume. It’s a big muff sounding fuzz and to my ears, it’s blended in parallel with the octave effect. This contributes to the unique sound of the pedal, indeed- but it would be cool to hear a louder fuzz sound. It’s more like a hairy bee. No biggie.

    My advice: GET (a working) ONE. :) Then, cranky all the controlly- and adjust the Blend and Tone to taste.
    The “Sens” control is kind of the same as the “Threshold” feature of the ADA Flanger, a gate: play softly- only the dry signal comes through, play harder and it triggers the effect. With ‘Sens’ at max, effect is always on.

    That’s my experiences with it, but I’m sure there are others on the forum that can chime in. Would like to hear more, how the 4- knob is for example.. Cheers! :wave:
