Kevy MetalMemberQuote:These should be shipping early December.
Thank you for the info!
Kevy MetalMemberUpdate:
It’s been awhile now and this pedal seriously keeps getting better. Maybe it’s just my ears, but the Satisfaction constantly impresses me every time I play around with it. With the Attack knob at roughly 3 or 4 o’clock, turning the Volume knob slowly to slightly past Noon brings out the most amazing nasty fuzz tone. Highly addictive.

Hot Tubes
Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker
Little Big Muff
Satisfaction Fuzz
Nano Double Muff
Soul Food
OD Glove(Running the Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker into the Satisfaction has made for some pretty awesome sonic results)
Kevy MetalMemberQuote:Quote:Yesterday, I picked up the OD Glove after trying to decide between the Hot Tubes and East River Drive, and wow, another amazing pedal. LOUD and warm, plus it gets nice and rough when I need it.Hey OD Glove fans, is this pedal quiet, meaning it introduces OD goodness but no lousy hiss or hum?
I’m replacing my old proco rat knockoff because it introduces hum above 10. I like a rat sound but it needs to be clean or the sound guy will start messing with my sound.
Thanks!
I haven’t had any issues with noise or hum, outside of what my single coil pups sometimes give off, which is nothing bad or unusual. Granted, I’m playing at bedroom levels, but so far it’s given me some great warm distorted tones when cranked and also some nice sounds when the gain is backed off a bit and I use it as a clean-ish boost.

CheersFor me, the Hot Tubes really does add some nice warmth and slight compression to my clean tweed-style amp. It’s not going to tighten up your tone, more of a loose “fattening” is how I hear it. Cranking the overdrive and keeping the tone switched to “off” is perfect for the vintage tones I want, which complements my Soul Food pedal quite well.
The setup you have sounds like it could work, but if you have the chance to test it out beforehand, I’d do that before buying one. This demo really helped me decide on picking one up:
November 10, 2015 at 5:44 pm in reply to: order all the EHX pedals you’ve owned from favorite to least favorite #120998Kevy MetalMemberHot Tubes
Little Big Muff
Satisfaction Fuzz
Nano Double Muff
Soul Food
OD Glove…”least favorite” isn’t really accurate for how I view these pedals, but my list is based more on the ones currently tweaking my ears at the moment.
Kevy MetalMemberI’ve asked about this before, sort of, with regards to using my Godlyke Power-All PA-9B with my Soul Food pedal, but no one has answered me yet.
Kevy MetalMemberQuote:Congrats on the score! I still have that pedal on my list. Maybe somebody will feel sorry for me and put one in my Christmas stocking this year.Thanks! I was noodling with it yesterday, running through my Little Big Muff and Mooer Grey Faze to dazzling effect. Getting this pedal as a gift any time of the year would be a highlight.
Kevy MetalMemberQuote:Today i think about to buy a Satisfaction Fuzz, because
i heard it has treble boosting side effects too.
I like to combine it the same way.Looking forward to your review of the Satisfaction. It boosts the treble, that’s for sure, not to mention that it has the ability to create some amazingly nasty noise when cranked up.
Kevy MetalMemberPlayed around with the Hot Tubes some more this weekend, can’t stress how great this pedal is and the growl this thing possesses. I’ve been craving the sound of a cranked-up tube amp with a slight blown speaker vibe and this pedal brings it without a problem. Running this after my Mooer Grey Faze pushes that pedal to even more heavenly fuzzed-out tones.
The Hot Tubes Nano is a real winner.
Kevy MetalMemberAfter many years of playing, I’ve fallen hard for fuzz. Can’t get enough of it. There’s just something about the sound, the tones… it’s addictive, to say the least. Not to mention that I currently own more pedals now than I ever have (a healthy chunk of them being Electro-Harmonix).
Kevy MetalMemberGreat review! I’ve been happy with all of my EHX pedal purchases, with the Double Muff Nano being a pretty amazing box of tones, so it’s cool to know that the Muff Overdrive is just as impressive.
Kevy MetalMemberUpdate:
After a few nights of playing and tweaking, it’s been interesting to see how my guitars respond to the Satisfaction pedal. My 1960s reuse Strat begs for mercy when I dime the knobs on the pedal, which produces loads of perfect nasty fuzz.
When I switched to my Lite Ash Telecaster, the Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro bridge pickup is very much the same as the Strat, but when I bump it to the neck pickup, the bitey top end of the fuzz is reduced and warmed up considerably. Great for singing leads or fat Electric Wizard riffing.
Damn, I love this pedal.
Kevy MetalMemberAfter my initial post, I had to think back to the amps I’ve owned and parted with over the years:
– a couple of Peaveys (Bandit, Classic 50, VTM 60)
– Roland Jazz Chorus
– Line 6 Spider II 112With my earlier amps, I simply didn’t know what I wanted other than something “heavy” or “crunchy”. Odd as it may seem, it really took this long to find the right amp and tones. My playing style has always been there, I just couldn’t get the sounds out there until now.
Kevy MetalMemberQuote:The Soul Food is an exceptional pedal, especially considering the price point. I actually was so excited about it when I first got it that I wrote a review of it here. I still love it, and it’s quite a nice pedal to stack in front of the OD Glove, or any other drive pedal, to really send it into the stratosphere. Put it in front of a slightly dirty amp and it will take it over the edge and beyond.This is exactly what I need to hear. The Soul Food was almost the first one I was going to buy before hearing the Nano Double Muff, but it stayed on my radar.
