Harley Benton's Telecaster-Style, EMG-equipped "Metal" guitar is an attractive buy considering its features and price-point. But is it any good? Is it worth it? And are the £15 Amazon special pair of pickups I replace the EMGs with even functional!?

    I recently acquired a BE100 head after loving the BE-OD pedal version and loved my Swollen Pickle after the pedal, in front of the amp. I was initially bummed at how the Pickle sounded with the actual amp until I had an epiphany that it might work in the effects loop, duplicating the order with the pedal, which is normally not a good idea. Eureka! It sounds HUGE no matter which channel the BE100 is on!

    • @doctorfuzzzdirtbox
      @doctorfuzzzdirtbox 24 дні тому

      Ah! Great idea! So the pre-amp is driving the Muff/Pickle with some extra mids and volume just like pushing it with an OD?

    • @JamesWhite-j3w
      @JamesWhite-j3w 23 дні тому

      That’s what seems to be happening. I had the BEOD set with the treble and bass low, which pokes out the mids by subtraction, and the amp adds back in the brightness and bass in the power amp. I have the sustain pretty low and level knob super low. Still experimenting of course 😊

    I stumbled upon a EH Double Muff pedal. Had never seen one before and it is a beautiful distortion that really responds well to the dynamics of your picking/playing. AND you get the switch that changes it to a heavier distortion. Love it and was happy to pay $180 at my local guitar store. Trying to find the 'right' placement for it on my board.

    • @doctorfuzzzdirtbox
      @doctorfuzzzdirtbox 24 дні тому

      Awesome! Though we should note, the "Muff" circuit in the Muff overdrive and Double Muff aren't actually "Big" Muff circuits at all! Not sure why they stuck with that name for a pedal that as different but they've also done it with the Big Muff Germanium so I think they just like to use it on their dirt pedals.

    There’s minimal difference running a buffer right in front of a big muffler with a short patch cable because the big muffler already has an input buffer at the beginning of the circuit when the effect is engaged. When in bypass it’s true bypass so having an always on buffer somewhere in the chain is good for long pedal runs.

    • @doctorfuzzzdirtbox
      @doctorfuzzzdirtbox 27 днів тому

      The difference is very noticeable to me. Much brighter. having an input buffer on the active pedal doesn't mean a pre-buffer will have minimal effect. All pedals have input buffers.

    I got this fuzz on sale and spent the weekend messing around with it. It might just be me but I'm not vibing with it. It has more versatility than a muff but it's not like a Carcosa, where you can set it pretty much however you want and get a useful sound. I have to mess with settings more and use what it gives me instead of dialing in a desired sound. It has a certain sound that the behringer super fuzz also has that I don't like, but to a lesser degree. Speaking of not vibing, it doesn't play well with a univibe. If I didn't already have another fuzz that pairs well with vibes that would be a deal breaker. I'm keeping it on the board, but it hasn't displaced anything.

    • @doctorfuzzzdirtbox
      @doctorfuzzzdirtbox Місяць тому

      I found this, too. There are knob positions that are niche use if anything! I also found it was kind of dry and muted even on more open settings - like you really had to fight a sound out of it. For someone doing a very specific LoFi fuzz thing, it could work a charm, but it's not the go-to tool in the box. What was it about the Univibe that didn't work?

    I had a few (lots of) Muffs. After trying them all, I am satisfied with the cheap, toyish Behringer Vintage Distortion, which I love, and I'm considering re-housing it. In theory, it's a modded green Russian Muff (but it sounds completely different). It's a low-gain, more articulated, with more mids Muff.

    I like the pig snort sound I get from the BIG MUFF PI on my round wound bass for harder metal and non-metal songs alike. It adds that different dimension to the overdrive of my amp through the loop, which is superbly golden and clean. I still get the floor of the bass, but the snarl of the guitar section of the songs, at the same time. Of course I like it on many guitar parts for that standout feeling of arpeggios and some leads. I am using the original Big Muff Pi from back in the days of the LPB-1 and LPB-2, with a small phazer at the end of chain to get a good pig snort out of it.

There are rechargeable 9v but imagine charging like 2-3 of them before a gig, plus recharging some wireless guitar adapter, maybe you also run your pedals on a rechargable battery. That's a nightmare. A guitar should just work. Also a few years ago i had a charvel with actives and a jet city 100w head and i just couldn't get a clean tone with those pickups. Had to roll off the volume so much it sounded like ass. Both pieces of gear are now gone but the trauma remains 😂
