  • Congrats ... was a hassle to get tickets ... Mr. Gilmour has 3 of these with him live and as a coinaisseur of tone he might do this because the pedal gives him something amps alone don't give him. Let me be a bit sarcastic here: with the right combination of the KPA's fuzz or distortion boxes, a proper pre stomp and post stomp eq and a well chosen shaper stomp you can simulate almost any pedal there is on the market ... this might, however take a couple of years to dial in (as long as it took for the KPA family to come up with half a decent vibe tone). Adding still more sarcasm: This in a company who haven't implemented more of the expression pedals functions, because they don't want to use a way that may look as if it is coming directly from the 80s. I have a very strong feeling that nothing is going to change about the fuzz/dist stomps in the future. Shame, though. Anybody here who likes KPA's take on the BigMuff or FuzzFace?


    Your very strong feeling is incorrect.

    I have had some nice results with the Big Muff and Fuzzface, Uploaded a clip with the Muff and Gilmours Hiwatt from TAF:

  • Dlaut: Well, I have a feeling. Based on various considerations - one of them being that admittedly there aren't many users who complain about the distortion stomps. What do you know that I don't know?

    It took me a while to warm up to the Muff stomp. Combining it with the Treble Booster in front and playing with EQ got me closer to Gilmour's Ram's Head tones, although I never exactly nailed it. As I've posted many times before, I never got even in the ballpark of Gilmour's farty/spitty Fuzz Face tones. Now that I'm more familiar with the Recti Shaper and ducking I might be able to do better.

  • More Tube Driver incentive :D
