When I had a Micro Pog I always had it first in my chain. My view is that octave pedals should get the purest signal. PLus I figured that it had a buffer as it’s not true bypass and it’s often a good idea to have buffer first in your chain.
JohnnysevenMemberI was surprised with how loud and clean my 22 Calibre could go through my Marshall 1×12. I bought it to use as a bedroom amp and not only does it sound good at low volume, I think I could probably gig with it either through my 1×12 or 2×12 and have enough clean headroom. I might take it to band practice tomorrow to see what it can handle.

JohnnysevenMemberI tried mine though a 1×12 yesterday and it could get pretty loud while staying clean, not sure if it would make gigging volume though – guess it would depend on how loud your drummer is and what the monitors are like.
JohnnysevenMemberI thought it might just be the pickups, i’ll give it a try with my humbucker equipped guitar and see if the problem persists.

JohnnysevenMemberI’m think of getting a 22 Caliber and running through a 1×12″ for home use as my Fender Bassman and Carlsbro 50 Top are a bit loud. What I wanted to know is does the 22 Caliber have a decent amount of clean headroom suitable for playing quitly at home and to sometimes play a bit louder (but not too loud) for when the neighbours go on holiday? Also how well does it take pedals?
JohnnysevenMemberQuote:They have them for £89 at iMuso btw … probably the cheapest I’ve seen them.I managed to get Hot Rox to match a price of £99 i’d seen elsewhere but £89 is even better. I’m going to try and get them to match it as their website states they’ll match any price and throw in free delivery. However when I emailed before they only said they would reduce the delivery to £1.25 and not make it free so I replied saying they shouldn’t state things on their website that they’re not going to honour. They have yet to reply.
JohnnysevenMemberQuote:have you watched the ehx vid?#https://www.ehx.com/products/graphic-fuzz
that should give you a pretty good idea of what it sounds like, it has a decent amount of gain imo, enough for everything other than really distorted metal.
The new one can use a regular ‘boss’ 9v power supply, the old version needs it’s own special (40v if I recall) power supply, so that’s an improvement on the old one to most people, it’s also smaller and from what I’ve heard it sounds the same (although I’ve never had the chance to A/B them directly) so ‘not as good’ really needs more explanation, I’m sure as many (if not more) would think it’s better.
Thanks. I have watched the clip but, as with most clips demoing gear, the guy plays with a kind of bluesy lead style that isn’t how I play at all. When I see clips I want to see noisy power chord style grungey riffs, but I guess i’m in the minority. You’re right in that it did give me soem idea but I always find it’s good to ask people that have actually used one.
I wasn’t aware that you could use a Boss style adapter, that makes it even more tempting, I thought the EHX website said it came with it’s own adapter so assumed it would be something other than 9v.
JohnnysevenMemberI would be but space is limited on my pedal board, I don’t think the older version would fit. Thanks for the offer though. Plus in in the UK, I assume you’re in the US.
