    I dig the reverbs in the Holy Stain (HS) especially the Hall setting. I mainly use mine in the parallel FX loop of my Mesa Rocket 44 on clean sounds. I use the pitch shifter mode as a slapback delay sometimes as well. The dirt is pretty good but needs to be tamed with the tone control. I find the trem to be a tad weak but I use it with a delay sometimes for some freaked out ambience. The HS is also great pedal to take to recording sessions with a small amp – It’s like [em]Led Zep I[/em] and Pink Floyd [em]Meddle[/em] in a box. I actually like how the clean setting colours my tone a bit too. Great unit. Would never get rid of it.

    The Double Muff (DM) is a great pedal. I love how it can work as a fuzz, an overdrive or even a gritty boost. I always use mine in the double mode – it’s cool because there are so many sounds available depending on which Muff circuit you use as the master volume and which one you use as the “preamp”. If you crank Muff 2 and keep Muff 1 down low you get killer 70s fuzz with good compression and a smooth but slightly saggy bottom end. When you do the opposite you get more of hi-fi type overdrive with really nice transient detail. When you keep both Muffs around 12’o’clock you get a nice clean volume boost with a very clear top end. The other majorly cool thing is how well the DM cleans up from the guitar’s volume pot. Hands down a super-cool and underrated pedal. Some people might like to replace the sliding switch with a footswitch if they wanted to switch between single and double mode on the fly. I just love the double mode!
