T-Rex Mudhoneys! Hand-built vs regular

- SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS COMPARISON. The regular Mudhoney has been my main distortion pedal for years, and I lucked into the Hand-built one today at a killer price. Here they are side by side! Both running at 12 volts, playing my PRS into these then into my 4x10 Deville.
I just got the old version today, coincidentally with a black barefoot button, and it sounds amazing. I just hope I never come across the danish collection in person as I would probably react the same way you have with yours! Cheers!
Good review 👍......I enjoyed your playing and enthusiasm 😁
What I love about these is that they sound like a dimed amp. If you want more highs just put a GE7 in front. Using the EQ and the volume and tone controls on my guitar I can get it so its genuinely indistinguishable to an overdriven tube. Love em.
For what’s its worth, the reissue made in china versions are selling on reverb for $150-$250, and Sweetwater is selling the made in China reissue for $279. I just bought direct from t-Rex effects website a reissue made in Denmark for $144 brand new including shipping.
The idea of a sound out of both of them is good, very good but personally, the hand built is a deal breaker for me due to a loud pop and much more noise. The regular one just needs wee bit more tone and bit more level and you have matched it to the new one. Not that much of a difference between them but as it is a matter of taste, I am glad if you like the hand-built better! Cheers m8!
I love the sound of 3 T-Rex pedals stacked into a Fender amp (HRD, DeVille, Blues Jnr iii or IV, Deluxe Reverb) with these 3 being my fave in this order:
T-Rex makes good shit I love their tape echo
old box sounds darker and more compressed low mids. New box sounds higher headroom bit hollow compared to old box. Both sound great your choice depends on what sounds good for you.
Bought the new one for £85. I love it. I use it as a solo boost. Gives a mid boost with girth. Different sound to my green rhino screamer. My ears tell me quality 🌴
What’s the difference between the new version and the old version I have an old mud honey one I’m looking at there tremolo red one got a switch instead of black button what is the difference do they both sound the same am I better to hunt down a second example of the tremolo or buy a new version of it which has metal switch
It does sound better but you should know that everything has to be tweaked differently on every single pedal.. I have 4 klons copies and to get them to sound similar you can't set the knobs the same at all .. but you are correct the hand wired one does sound crisper and not as muddy
Kansas, yeah
No need for science. Better is better. I favour overdrive more than distortion, but this new pedal is sweet. It's still on my board. Has enough mids to kick on and cut through for solos. Different flavour to my Green Rhino. Full. Rich Harmonics. Singing tone. And I'm a soul guy!
How much do you think the Handbuilt ones are worth now? I see one on Reverb for $215 and have one of the Danish Collection ones so would sell that if I bought the Handbuilt. Awesome playing and comparison!
Both sounds great, but yes the handmade one sounds a bit more defined.
Boost is on with the switch up on the danish collection
I would imagine the differences are just small differences in the values of the components like potentiometers and such. Several years on, do you still prefer the new one?
Great playing and comparison. To me it sounds like you dialed them up to pretty much to sound the same! I was thinking of getting a new Danish handmade from Sweetwater, since I see no used ones, but it is $279 and the original non handmade one sounds pretty much just like it on my youtube with earbuds (yes known limitations), and I could get a used one for about $130....again based on this video I definitely don't hear the difference to warrant that much of a price difference. Any updated thoughts comparing the two since you've made the video? Thanks!
This pedal is good to play grunge?this have a good distorcion??great review
