Quote:Yep, it’s an input gain trimpot.
I used to own one a long while back. I had to turn the trimpot down significantly because my Stingray was pushing it into extreme “squashing” even at milder settings. By turning it down, you increase your dynamic range, allow for milder compression, and even reduce the noise.
It’s probably set high to be ideal out-of-the-box for passive lower-output guitars. Basically, the vintage instrument / classic compression combo.
oh, thanks mate, that’s great news…..I’ll have a poke around with that later..
thanks very much.
Quote:Hi all, meet Bill (‘FUZZ’ on the forums) — Bill is the first EHX staffer to join us here!Within EHX, Bill generally works sales, and somewhat recently joined the company — though he has worked in guitar retail for many years.
I’m hoping that Bill can help to answer some of the product-specific questions that I (and you) don’t happen to know. And, if I ever seem to become EVIL you can always turn to Bill.
So, with that said — Bill, meet the EHX forums — EHX forums, meet Bill!
Hi Bill/Fuzz!
greetings from the UK.

Yeah, I like the Muff idea. Maybe it should be called the “Muff-box” as in “snuff box” because i’m running low on imagination at the moment
I think BYOC do a muff clone which allows you to switch to allow the tone control to work like different muffs and get the same tonal qualities, even though the characteristics of the distortion remain pretty much the same – as far as i know, that is.
yeah, they don’t really sound that different to me. a little more/less gain, a little difference in tone…….I’m pretty sure the BM/tone wicker will be able to get close to many of the original muff sounds.

you’d better believe it.
a year ago this was my pedal set up.

…but i’m on my way back. : )
Quote:Quote:as far as I know the first EHX product (Linear Power Booster) came out in 1969, that would make 2009 Electro Harmonix’s 40th Anniversary…that’s pretty amazing, I wonder if there are plans for anything special to celebrate this other than me going ‘woo hoo happy birthday!’ :cheese:
As Scott said, 1968 was the actual year of EH’s birth. The first product wasn’t the LPB-1 but the Axis fuzz, also sold as the Guild Foxey Lady.
