Nice thread! Makakatulong sakin to ng matindi-tindi, hehe! Kakabili ko lang ng 3 EHX Pedals! Small Clone, Holy Grail, Metal Muff with Top Boost... :-D

as usual, ayos na ayos.. hehe! I'm after the ease of use kasi ng pedals.. ayaw ko ng madaming knobs! tska idol ko nagpasikat sa kaniya..hehehe!
Tonewise, gustong gusto ko yung tunog with or without distortion.. pero di ko pa siya nattry pag nakachain sa madami so di ko pa maspecify ng maayos ang comments ko.. :-D

ok... lol... walang ingay yan... hinihintay ko pa yung #1 echo para matesting kung ok sa malaking setup... nasubukan ko na kasi yung memory man delay... wala akong masabi dun na pangit except malaki sya... hehehe... kaya i settled for the #1 echo... which does the same job of delaying the signal... lol...

I'm currently using an EHX Micro Metal Muff, which also has a top boost. It has served me well but I have to sell it since I need something with a built-in equalizer. :-(

EHX Deluxe Memory Man : can somebody say ice cream melting inside an igloo warm delay? :wink:
Big Muff: Bago pa lang eh... pero so far im really diggin' it... was never much of a big fuzz fan before eh. pero it's the only way to get that early pumpkins sound.
Nano Small Stone: kadarating lang... reviews to follow. nasa box pa eh.

I've actually been playing with it for quite some time now. I have a separate equalizer pedal to shape my tone but I still feel the need to have more control over my sound since I have 4 other pedals in the chain. :-D

But I'd still say that it's a very good pedal, especially if you have an equalizer pedal. It's just that my set-up calls for something different. :-)

Haven't used an EHX but I think its great kasi pioneer din sila ng effects..
Ask ko lang, what does small clone and Big Muff do? Kasi I got used to the names distortion, delay, chorus etc. and I don't know what this EHX effects do.. :|

small clone is a chorus pedal which was popularized by the late Kurt Cobain...
the big muff is a distortion pedal which has a fuzzy characteristic... most of the time used by musicians trying to emulate the sound of classic songs from hendrix and such...

nice thread sir.
I have a nano LPB1-adds definition to your tone
Nano small stone- 1 knob -Rate- is all you need, I use this with Color toggle in down position more often.
Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai- not warm sounding as the deluxe memory man but it's good enough for me, lots of sound that you can get from this baby!
Holy Grail Plus-Lush reverb. Spring and Hall are my favorites
Micro Qtron-fave is BP mode, used once at home and I'm selling this one. don't have the funk in me. :(
Big Muff Pi Russian (my avatar) now this is my fave among my EHX pedals. Tone and Sustain controls are very usable. From 0 - 10 settings it will still sound good.

Posting this photo for the nth time. (http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f69/ikabodbubwit/bord.jpg)
Stereo Memory Man-I use this as a chorus pedal, it's basically the DMM without the Vibrato mode and has mono/stereo outputs. Chorus sounds great, I like deep, lush chorus without oscillation and this gets it done well. I really dig EJ-like chorus sounds and this handles crystal cleans from my EMG equipped American Deluxe strat well and singing violin-ish leads with my Tube Driver.
Deluxe Electric Mistress- What can I say? Legit analog flanger. Beats the Boss BF-3 (it doesn't even get close) in terms of that vintage "swoosh" sound. At high rated it can do rotary speaker sounds quite well. The filter matrix mode sounds like your analog robot sound synth. It has some remarkable volume drop when engaged though. It depends on the setting actually.
Wiggler- "Toob" pedal (it supposedly powered by two 12AX7's) with four vibrato modes and a tremolo mode. I once owned the Electro Harmonix Worm Analog Multi effect but quickly replaced it with this one. I could actually feel the speakers breathe when I use it with high intensity settings. It has Leslie, Hammond, Vox and Wurlitzer Vibrato simulations. One thing I noticed though, it produces that pulsating noise whenever I engage the effect.
Stereo Memory Man With Hazarai-Great digital delay and very versatile. Digital delay pedal with a 3PDT on/off switch, pretty crazy hehe. It has 8 modes which is very interesting and fun to play with. The 300 ms + Mod mode gets pretty close to the SMM echo sound but still not as warm. I specifically love the 1 sec. delay with triggered reverse, the reverse echo mode and the looper. The looper can store approx. 12 secs of Sound on Sound loop with knobs to control tempo, pitch, and reverse or forward. It only loses on the user-friendliness aspect. Only one preset per mode and you can change modes/presets without bowing down and turning knobs. Wish it had footswitching for modes.

Win!!!
I've only started amassing EHX pedals last year. Since then, I've already added a Little Big Muff (which I'm using more for the bass), a Pulsar tremolo, and the Micro POG.
I love my Pulsar so much. I've always wanted to do the slow square wave trem found on The Smiths' How Soon Is Now or even a much slower rate heard on Radiohead's Airbag. I think I'm getting close to nailing that tone in my pedal series head-on.
As for the Micro POG, it's become my favorite toy right now. I've always been frustrated playing in bands when we had problems finding a dependable keyboard player. I was inspired by Jack White's sound on his last few albums either with The White Stripes or with The Racounteurs. I thought that the keyboard sounding parts on their records were Hammonds or church organs. I was surprised to find out that they were coming from his Poly-Octave Generator. I got the scaled down version instead of the full-on model with the sliders that you could manipulate to fine-tune that sound.

currently, there is no website that shows the amount in peso... check this link out...
look under octave divider... there's a video about it there... basically, it can add one or two octaves to your tone... it can also make your guitar sound like a 12 or 18 string... you'll find out for yourself once you've seen the vids... lol...

Finally!!! Love for EHX!! I've been an avid fan of their product especially their FUZZ! Can't get enough of their fuzz box...
Only thing that I can say for those who doesn't know EHX yet... just go to PJC Music in Ortigas and ask to try all the EHX fuzz there. Make sure to plug it in one of their Marshall half stack and... prepare to be AMAZE!!!!
But mind you that even though fuzz is great... it is not for everyone... don't expect 80's or metal tones from this box. This is more like doom sound... santana like endless sustain.... sh*T... EHX long live!!!!

I never had personal experience with the Small Stone but the EHX Holy Grail (larger version) do have a slight volume drop. My buddy also bought Holy Grail Plus and he also did mention that volume drop is still evident... they say that it is just the way it is... :? Maybe a MOD can solve this quirk..

hi bro! the nano series of ehx has that issue... if you're going to buy the Nano Small Stone, then there is a chance that the unit might have that issue... the Standard series version of the Small Stone does not have that issue.

I'm using a Small Clone right now. I simply love that pedal! One problem though, when I stomp on it I can really hear the clicks from the footswitch through the amp. It's somewhat annoying esp. at high volume setup.
Is it "normal" or may problema na kaya Small Clone ko? Huwag naman sana, ugh! :-(

that also happens to me but only when i stomp on it for the first time. after that, i don't hear any more clicks.
I'm using Holy Grail tight now, may volume drop though... pero no problem wid me. I also use Big Muffs, okay ung pagka fuzz nia for me, medio malaki lang sia, laki ng kinakain na spac sa board.

Well... I would say that it should NOT be normal but some of the EHX pedals behave like that. Does it happen if you use the pedal alone? Without any other pedals connected to it? I think this is also evident in some of the Small Stone pedals... I guess you could just have the store check it for you?
Ask riccabb... maybe he can do wonders with this quirk.
Friend of mine also bought a Nano Clone and fortunately... it does not have any loud click when first engaged.

Thanks for the tip sir! I haven't really tried it standalone. Subukan ko muna. I'll definitely ask riccabb if the loud click persists.

yeah... correct. Some do not notice it but THERE IS still a slight touch of Fuzziness to it and to which I stay away... :| If I want a high gain fuzz... the Big Muff will suffice. But still a great pedal... high gain? Yes! Durability! Of course! Sound? Near perfect!

I'm currently using an EHX Micro Metal Muff, which also has a top boost. It has served me well but I have to sell it since I need something with a built-in equalizer. :-(
I've actually been playing with it for quite some time now. I have a separate equalizer pedal to shape my tone but I still feel the need to have more control over my sound since I have 4 other pedals in the chain. :-D
And while you're at it, why don't you call these people's attention as well?

afaik, may kinalaman yan sa loading ng capacitors sa pedal. kaya pag first time inapakan may click, after that nawawala na yung tunog. correct me if i'm wrong na lang. :lol:
EHX fan here too!! i was fortunate na magkaron ng 3 EHX pedals: Metal Muff with Top Boost, Tube EQ, at English Muff'n.
yung Metal Muff, ang ganda nung top boost. napaka-useable sa band setting. i had to let it go though, kasi nagiging somewhat nasal siya sa amp-guitar combo ko. yung guitar na gamit ko kasi nun was a bit middy.
yung Tube EQ naman, kaya ko lang binenta kasi kelangan ko ng cash. pero sobrang ganda nung pedal na yun. nakakapagsisi ibenta tuloy. hindi lang pang-guitar yung application niya, kahit anong instrument pwede. tapos kahit kabitan mo ng kahit anong digital fx, instant tunog tube kaagad basta may Tube EQ.
my English Muff'n is for sale right now (shameless plug! haha!). gaya ng Tube EQ, im only selling it kasi i need cash right now. i'll retract it kaagad basta nakapag-raise na ko ng funds. Marshall in a box yung tunog nitong pedal na to. it works both as a distortion pedal and as a preamp. hindi pa ko pinapahiya ng pedal na to ever pagdating sa gigs. and because the tubes in it are working the way they should be, ang ganda ng response niya sa picking dynamics. even at full gain, hindi ko kelangan patayin yung pedal if i want to have a clean sound. roll off lang ng volume knob ang katapat. tapos hindi lang basta clean na masabing clean tone lang, sparkly clean pa yung roll off sound niya.
dagdag ko rin yung isa kong "EHX pedal". may DIY EHX LPB-1 clone ako. :lol: simple booster lang siya. hindi siya transparent, may emphasis sa lower mids yung boost niya but that's ok with me. kasi napaka-musical nung boost niya. nadadagdagan ng buhay yung tunog. mas trip ko tunog nito personally kaysa Microamp. sometimes i set my English muff'n with gain at 11:00, tapos itong LPB gain at 11:00 rin. now, infinite possibilities na sa clean-slight dirt-dirty-crunch-crunchier-distorted sound ang kaya kong gawin with this setup together with my guitar's volume knob. :lol:

I have an EHX deluxe memoryman, so far wala ako regrets, medyo matagal ko na rin gamit to sa pang araw araw na gig, di pwede di ko dala yan he he. Very warm :-D nag iisip narin ako mag palit ng nova delay or eventide timefactor, pero baka hanapin ko yung memoryman eh. hehe. ang ayoko lang sa memoryman di ka makakapag save ng settings di katulad pag digital. hehe
Sa bigmuff naman nag karoon narin ako nito before, it has a bunch of fuzz pero medyo nakukulangan parin ako sa kanya, medyo konti lang ang magagandang pihit niya and di siya nag ka cut thru pag sa live na tugtugan, medyo na ninipisan ako sa kanya. IMHO :-)
Im plannin to buy a holygrail reverb very natural ang tunog pero nag dadalawang isip parin ako, ayoko na muna mag dagdag ng pedal sa board ko kasi masakit na sa braso mag buhat ng pedals na marami, plan ko uli mag palit ng board yung mas maliit talaga, siguro pedal tote nalang muna.

for me wala naman, volume drop, kung meron man na para sa iba meron nga e di naman masyado pansin or di ko na po problemahin, kaya naman gawan ng paraan yun, yung memoryman kasi saken parati naka engage, pag nasa chain ko yan diko na ino off, naka mababang settings lang ako ng delay level at time para di dry ang tunog ko, nag aact siya as reverb , kung gusto ko ng long delay time konting pihit na lang ng paa sa knobs for solo parts. Pwede rin siya maging pang volume boost para sa mga makukulit na tech na parating hihinaan ang gitara mo sa tugtugan may reserba kapa amount of vulome para mag taas.

I just tried the Nano Clone the other night in a fairly good volume setting in our Church service. I hate to post this but.... this pedal SUCKS big time.. literally sucks our your tone. Using my humbucker equipped guitar in my lil Vox amp, my cleans are terrific but when you stomp on this pedal, it KILLS all your MIDS and BASS... leaving you with a trebly sh*t sound. At first I thought, my new D'Addario 10s are crapping out... sounds dead when this pedal engaged... bypassed, there goes my cleans again. I usually use my RV3 for ambient sounds together with my cheapo PSK chorus .. so I tried it with this Nano... oh sh*T, as soon as you step on this pedal... aside from the silly volume drop, it will make your BIG sound, super thin... weak. oh man... I don't think it even comes close to the original big box version.
Highly crappy @s$ pedal in my opinion... but for the price and size it maybe a great deal for beginners. For gig..? I say don't even try it...
Next pedal that I will test is Nano Muff Overdrive! :lol:

Malapit na akong EHX user.. hehehe! reviews sa metal muff?
I would say 90% of EHX products delivers the goods. You cannot go wrong with their line up... only thing that might tick you off is your own personal preference of sound.
To answer your query, Metal Muff has lots of gain on tap. Knobs are pretty responsive and there is a hint of Fuzz when you go past 2 o'clock. This is more on the modern metal sound... DOOM type of metal because of the bass responsiveness. Metal rugged casing is almost indestructible ... prolly just a pain that you might need to remove the rubber feet to properly put a velcro underneath it. Only thing that I don't like about it is the Top Boost, I was looking for that clean boost or mid hump for leads but this pedal just pushes the treble up a notch that sometimes it is piercing. You might want to just put it on 3 o'clock and not go past noon. And yeah, blues players can get mellow overdriven sound out of this pedal.
Overall, it's a good modern take of EHX with the high gain arena. Though, it is still not for everyone...
Title: Re: EHX User's thread
Post by: deadlifted on May 29, 2008, 11:06:25 AM
woah!!!! 3:00 yung top boost mo?? sa setup ko ear-piercing bright na pag ganun. when i had a Metal Muff, yung settings ko naglalaro from 1-2:00 lang on the 3 band EQ. kahit yung gain ko mga 2:00 lang rin gaya ni knightburn.
yung top boost setting ko naman, around 9:00 lang. healthy push sa sound for solos. lilitaw ka talaga sa band mix kahit anong mangyari. hope this helps. :-)
add ko lang, IMHO if you just play at home or don't plan to use it sa banda, mag micro or pocket metal muff ka na lang. kasi pag praktis sa bahay, sobrang sakit sa tenga para sakin gamitin yung top boost function. sa gigs ko lang nagagamit yun.

Post by: knightburn on May 31, 2008, 09:33:26 AM
As promised, here's my short review of the Holy Grail Plus and my new Small Clone.
I would say that even a newbie can operate this thing. It only has 3 knobs to change the settings. Blend is the amount of Wet/ Dry signal. Amount is for the level of intensity of reverb modulation and finally the option to choose between Spring, Hall, Room, and Flerb. At first, I got confused with the Blend knob, I believe this is the same effect used in the Holy Grail. This comes with a 9.6v DC 200ma adaptor so it's pretty cool but my regular one spot works fine with it.
Reliability
This I think is bulit with sturdy aluminum casing that can last for a long time. I believe EHX pedals are second to Boss' durability.
Sound/ Conclusion
This is a very good pedal if you want to add shimerring cleans with your Amp that doesn't have a reverb channel. I was using before a Holy Grail but got disappointed that it has significant volume drop when I go past 12 o clock. Though, now I understand that the Blend/ Reverb knob from the Holy Grail and HG + is for Wet/ Dry signal. Pretty obvious that you may lose volume when you tweak the knob with wet and dry. Some say this is normal but the good thing about this pedal is that even of you maximize the level of amount, volume and richness of sound remains intact. Spring for me is quite subtle... I enjoyed a lot with Hall and Flerb <--- Holy Grail's flerb is too much for me (too much flanger going in) but in 'Plus' I think it's usable for experimental and prolly Incubus/ Korn like music. Though, I admit that this is the type of pedal you can live without using it. It's more like an 'add-on' effect for your modulation pedal. I know that this will ultimately shine when coupled with a nice delay and volume pedal. Christian church guitarists will surely love this pedal... as I do!
Overall... worth the money that you will spend in buying this new XO Ehx Pedal. Sturdy, good sound in a compact reverb tank pedal. :-D Price is pretty steep though... it's 8K + here so...

if you're really into high gain distortion pedals, the metal muff will do the job for you. but again, before buying it, remember that it has a fuzzy characteristic.
I would say that even a newbie can operate this thing. It only has 3 knobs to change the settings. Blend is the amount of Wet/ Dry signal. Amount is for the level of intensity of reverb modulation and finally the option to choose between Spring, Hall, Room, and Flerb. At first, I got confused with the Blend knob, I believe this is the same effect used in the Holy Grail. This comes with a 9.6v DC 200ma adaptor so it's pretty cool but my regular one spot works fine with it.
Reliability
This I think is bulit with sturdy aluminum casing that can last for a long time. I believe EHX pedals are second to Boss' durability.
Sound/ Conclusion
This is a very good pedal if you want to add shimerring cleans with your Amp that doesn't have a reverb channel. I was using before a Holy Grail but got disappointed that it has significant volume drop when I go past 12 o clock. Though, now I understand that the Blend/ Reverb knob from the Holy Grail and HG + is for Wet/ Dry signal. Pretty obvious that you may lose volume when you tweak the knob with wet and dry. Some say this is normal but the good thing about this pedal is that even of you maximize the level of amount, volume and richness of sound remains intact. Spring for me is quite subtle... I enjoyed a lot with Hall and Flerb <--- Holy Grail's flerb is too much for me (too much flanger going in) but in 'Plus' I think it's usable for experimental and prolly Incubus/ Korn like music. Though, I admit that this is the type of pedal you can live without using it. It's more like an 'add-on' effect for your modulation pedal. I know that this will ultimately shine when coupled with a nice delay and volume pedal. Christian church guitarists will surely love this pedal... as I do!
Overall... worth the money that you will spend in buying this new XO Ehx Pedal. Sturdy, good sound in a compact reverb tank pedal. :-D Price is pretty steep though... it's 8K + here so...
nice review mr. Knightburn... :-D what do you have in-store next?
hey sir masterchoxter. i read your posts regarding ehx pedals.. sir pede po bang makahinge review ng metal muff with top boost sa 15watts ss amp? any pro's and cons lng sir.. sorry if natanong ko po kayo.. it seems that youre the ultimate ehx master kc sa threads eh.. neway sir thanks!
lol... i'm not the ehx master... let's try to avoid that, shall we? lol... regarding the metal muff with the ss 15watts, you'll hear a lot of gain with it. lots of fuzz too if you increase the gain... imagine Slayer type music... lol... anyway, you can also ask Knightburn...
@knightburn - care to answer his query? :-D

eto for everyone's benefit. nagpost ako dati sa multiply ng review ko ng EHX Metal Muff with Top Boost:
The Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff with Top Boost is EHX's answer to the countless metal distortion pedals out there. There are three variants of the Metal Muff pedal: the pocket Metal Muff, micro Metal Muff, and the one I'm gonna review with top boost feature. Disclaimer for those guys out there, even though this pedal bears the 'Muff' name, it doesn't sound remotely close to their more popular Big Muff fuzz pedal. This one brings total metal annihilation!
Features
The Metal Muff is housed in a 5" x 4" casing with two switches. The true bypass switch on the right turns the pedal on and off, and the left one activates the top boost. There are 6 knobs: level - controls the overall volume, gain - adjusts the amount of distortion, top boost - adjusts the top boost (zero on the knob has no effect on the sound, so it can only boost not cut), and the standard bass, middle and treble controls. One good about the three band EQ is that there's a notch in the potentiometer wherein it locks at 12:00 so that you'll know where the flat setting is. Pure genius!
The basic tone of the Metal Muff is more on the Mesa Rectifier-ish side of the hi-gain territory than the Marshall side. Death, black, thrash, grindcore metal and whatever's the latest metal genre players rejoice! (EMO [gooey brown stuff] not welcome here though hehehe!) Tweaking the EQ controls helped me discover a lot of hidden tricks on this pedal. The controls are so interactive that one small twist on one knob affects the other two. Fine-tuning my perfect metal tone took all afternoon the first time. So this is not a pedal for those players who want to just leave it there and not tweak. Later, I found that the pedal sounds best if I don't do radical twists on the knob. I only tweak from 10:00 to 2:00. Any more than that it sounds artificial. The middle knob is the most important of the pedal. I can tailor any metal sound I want with the middle knob, and just adjust and interact with the bass and treble to suit the amp that I'm using.
The top boost, EHX said boosts a narrow band of high frequencies to help me stand out in the mix. Playing alone at home, my GOD!!! ear-piercing boost!!! Even at 9:00, the boost sounds too much and thins out my tone too much. But, I discovered that in the context of the band mix, the top boost sounded just right. Once I found the right setting in relation with the treble knob -- yes, the top boost and treble knobs are related, they're interactive too -- I step on the top boost for solos and I can shred myself away.
Performance
Plugged in my amp, with the EQ controls set at noon and drive maxxed, its sounds totally wicked! Instant metal tone. Compared to a stock Boss MT-2, it's not nasal sounding and has comparable presence. The MT-2 has a bit more gain, but I always found the MT-2 to have too much gain for practical use. Well, that's another story. Anyways, the Metal Muff has more string to string clarity, and pinch harmonics are so easy to make. Very Zakk friendly. There is also a lot of output in this pedal. That being said, like all metal pedals, the amp you plug into must have a lot of clean headroom for it to sound good. Plugged into a verge-of-breaking-up-amp, it sounded muffled and lacked punch.
One of the metal muff's advantages is that it lets the guitar's tone shine through. Using my Jap Les Paul copy with Bill Lawrence pickups, the Metal Muff sounded middy, sometimes borderline nasal. However, my other Jap LP copy with EMG pickups sounded scooped with it and I had to back the gain a bit due to the EMG's tremendous output.
Bottom line
The Metal Muff certainly is one of the better metal pedals out there. But I have to keep in mind that this is a metal pedal. Rock or blues players may not find this pedal good enough because the metal tone is still there even at low drive settings. It's also a pedal made for live use, not for the bedroom guitarist. Though the EQ controls are very flexible and can shape a lot of tones, the top boost is only usable live. For the bedroom guitarist, I would suggest getting the micro metal muff - it's cheaper too.
Added notes:
The knob to tweak: middle knob
PROS: great metal sound, amazing presence, maintains transparency even at extreme gain settings
CONS: top boost can be a bit too much, and sometimes it thins out the tone

eto naman review ko ng EHX English Muff'n
The EHX English Muff'n is a preamp/distortion pedal designed to give players that classic British (Marshall or Vox) sound. From slight overdrives to full blown JCM 800 style crunch, this pedal does them all.
Features
The English Muff'n is housed in a huge rectangular box with a barrel style protector where you can see the 2 12AY7 tubes. It has true bypass switching and 2 LED's: one showing whether the unit's plugged or not, and one for on/off effect function. It has 5 knobs: level, gain, bass, middle and treble.
The stock tubes are great. There's a ton of versatility in them since the 12AY7 are not as gainy as 12AX7's so you can go from chimey clean to hard rock distortion depending on the gain knob. But since I'm more of a metal player, I want more gain. Fortunately, the tubes are easily swappable and I experimented with some 12AX7's in them. A 12AX7 cascaded into a 12AY7 sounded best to my ears. The combination yielded more presence and a ton of gain. It amazed me how this unit can be so sensitive to different tubes. I tried 2 12AX7's of the same brand in position 1 - the two tubes sounded different. Cool! I alse researched on how they run the tube voltages. Well, they run at full 400V or so... now that's what I'm talking about. There's no starved plate tube [gooey brown stuff] in here.
Plugging it either as a preamp via the fx return or as a distortion pedal gave the same general feel to it. Marshall sound baby!!! From plexi-ish to brown sound to JCM roar it can do it all. As a preamp, no more tweaking's needed to get the sound I want.. I just turn all the EQ knobs to 10. Mind you I'm a tweaker, I'm patient with tweaking and I spend countless hours on my gear getitng to know the ins and outs of tweaking it... but in this case all 10's the way to go! It's so open sounding and it doesn't sound like a pedal at all. It sound's like an amp. It actually sounds better than my amp's preamp section hahaha!
As a distortion pedal, the treble's a bit on the bright side so I turn it down to about 9:00, and keep the bass and middle maxxed out. I lose some of the openness, but it's ok coz I still retain that Marshall sound.
Performance
I'm a Marshall loving guy, no question here. So it's expected from me to have this huge smile on my face everytime I play this pedal. That being said, Marshall's not really known to give that heavy death chug chug stuff so I don't expect to play really heavy stuff with this as a stand alone unit. I use my Boss SD-1 as booster with it to make it sound like that.
The volume knob response on this thing the best I've heard out of ALL the pedals I've tried. The picking dynamics response is also one of the best, if not the best. Play a note hard it will roar, play it soft it will purr. I hardly ever turn off this pedal coz I just need to roll the volume knob back down to get a clean chimey sound.
Bottom line
If you love the Marshall sound, whether it's a Bluesbreaker, or EVH brown sound, or AC/DC tone, or JCM 800 distorted sound, this is the pedal for you. That being said, some people might complain about this pedal not transparent enough with amps. It emparts it own British sound regardless of where you set your controls. A Mesa loving guy won't be so happy with this pedal.
Added notes:
The knob to tweak: treble knob
PROS: Marshall in a box, great whether as a preamp or distortion pedal. very tube amp like sounding
CONS: some people may find this pedal too bright

yeah and try it on a band setting. If it's good live, then it is a GOOD pedal. I sometimes think that this is one of the possible cons in newer boutique pedals since there are still fewer guitarists who are using it on the road... but that's a different topic... :-D
nice review mr. Knightburn... :-D what do you have in-store next?
I'm thinking of doing a review of the Little Big Muff since a few guitarists in Manila are using it... as far as I know. Unfortunately, I will be selling it today... too much overdrive/ gain pedals stocking in my drawer :cry: I would definitely buy it again when I get extra cash...I'll probably make a demo of the Metal Muff though. ROCK! :evil: :lol:

The metal muff is a great-SOUNDING pedal. It sounds huge yet has a focused, tight palm-mute tone to it.
But it is very hard to cut thru with it, even with the top boost on, so I sold it.

thanks for the info... but i'm shifting my primary option with the ehx... mas tiwala ako sa kapwa forumites :-D concern na lang sa cost and size :-D
i'm looking forward for more reviews :lol:
no prob! for the most part, the ehx small clone has all the tone you need... the only downsides are the ff: when you stomp on it for the first time, it has this clicking sound which sounds like you're activating the pedal... after that, it's ok na rin... this happens everytime you set up... another is that it doesn't have a level/volume knob unlike the other more common chorus pedals... so it'll purely depend on the volume of your guitar and amp... but overall, it's one heck of a chorus pedal and i won't get anything else... but anyway, that's just me... lol..

was able to try out the #1 echo during the weekend... and as expected, it worked like how a DELAY pedal should... it has 3 knobs... blend, delay, feedback... very easy to tweak...
the blend knob basically just makes the delay signal louder or softer... the delay knob dictates the time of your signal... upto a maximum of 2 seconds... really cool when you get creative with riffs... the feedback sets the number of echo's you want...
the pedal uses truebypass... i didn't hear any toneloss... the tone from the guitar was transparent... when used with distortion or overdrives, there were no issues encountered as what other reviews we have read stated... i believe it's just a matter of setting everything correctly... lol...
overall, it'll work as a delay and will do just that... no special features like what most digital delays have right now... the only special thing it can do is the 2 second delay time which is not apparent with delay pedals in the echo's price range...

Can't help but to laugh at this post man... sorry dude. It's just ironic to say that the Metal Muff is not noisy or quite. It is designed to be noisy BUT in a good way bro. But if you are referring to noisiness when you first engaged it, it will still depend on your setup. The last time I tried it with a crappy Marshall MG amp with an Ibanez DiMarzio equipped guitar, it is frakingly quite. It still has a hint of Fuzz though as far as my ears are concerned but for the consturction and price, it is way superior than a Metal Zone or Boston's heavy metal counterpart.
Any delay pedal matched with the Big Muff will give you VERY VERY NICE ambient sound... can't explain it in words, it is just too damn good.
good enough for me sir. thanks! :-D

Am a proud owner of The Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai :-D
I got this pedal just hoping to get a decent straightforward delay sound, i've had DD3, DOD FX90 delays before but sold them by way of this pedal.
It's one of the best delays i've ever tried, simply because (pros muna):
- 3 secs delay time. - 30 secs loop time. - true stereo with 8 programmable presets where you can save it with the hazarai knob, it's what i think the most convenient feature of this pedal. - may vintage tap filtering at tap tempo at meron syang separate na tap tempo switch. - reverse delay, which is cool for experimental sounds :-D - may settings na pwedeng gumawa ng chorus, gonkulator ring mod at flanger effect (i can describe the chorus effect as really close to an EHX small clone). The SMMH shines clearly on this one - It doesn't suck tone, unlike what you read in Harmony Central reviews. - sturdy hard casing. - the design is tops :-D - many more i haven't tried to tinker but getting there...
The cons:
- pricey for an ordinary JUAN like me :-( - will take time to master all the knobs (but when you do... :-D) - to erase a loop, you have to turn off the bypass signal pa then turn the pedal on again, which is kinda annoying for multiple overdubs, but not a biggie i guess
The Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai is for people who wanted multiple sounds in one box, i'm pretty sure it's not for everyone, coz they might find it very digital sounding thru their setup, especially for peeps looking for a more warm sounding delay like the Deluxe Memory Man. But it gets the job done for me :-D one of the pedals i plan to keep for a long time.

They have different sound. I was using my Russian Muff for several years and I can easily nail a Grunge tone with this pedal. Though, I wouldn't recommend the Russian Muffs JB's selling... notice how light weight it is? And totally crappy sound... not the same with the older version with the Wooden Box. So, I just for you to hunt for the vintage units. If not, I highly recommend the Little Big Muff... they say that this was modeled after the Vintage Green Russian Muff! Good Buy!

bro, sa tingin mo ano silbi nung top boost? parang useless para sa tugtugan ko topboost niya, parang nagiging bubuyog tunog ng metal muff ko.

Post by: region III on August 10, 2008, 10:48:45 PM
malaki ang silbi sa kin yung top boost especially sa lead parts. i set it just a little above my regular distortion setting. you will not even hear it when you're playing with low volume. but you will hear the big difference when you crank up your amp, especially a tube amp.

boost function and sa mids dagdag pag around 9oclock yung knob, pero pag around 3 panget na para skin, yung high nya lumalakas, malakas na payat yung guitar, ewan ko lang din, depende sa function siguro, di naman kasi ako mahilig mag shred :-D

Just set the Top Boost not higher that 3 o'clock when playing lead lines. For me, I think it's also useless... I hope EHX designed it as Volume or MID boost... now this is more useful in a live setting.

Los, try experimenting by putting an overdrive pedal right in front of it. It'll sound like Jon Lord's Deep Purple keyboards. I've even added some tremolo in the signal chain and there were more psychedelic touches to the overall sound. If you time it right, it would also sound like there were volume swells if the trem is set to low speed.

you mean modulation?
what delay are you after anyway? I have had the ff EH mod pedals, feel free to ask about them -Stereo memory man (the only one left with me, IMO one of the VERY BEST analog delays ever) -Stereo memory man with hazarai -Deluxe Electric Mistress -Worm -Wiggler

-actually bro, yung stereo memory man 100% analog delay/echo, yung hazarai 100% digital delay (except for the TBP switch) You have much more modes and delay types with the hazarai (may looper pa!) but you can never get the warm analog delay that the stereo memory man has.
-yup, it's the flanger, WAY BETTER than the Boss BF-3. Well it's a matter of analog vs digital argument ulit eh, but the DEM has filter matrix which makes it a bit more astig than the BF-3.
-Wiggler=Tube Vibrato/Tremolo, Worm=Analog Multi Modulation Effects.

Ako russian muff. Kaso yung itim. Di kagandahan ang bypass mode nya (imho), pero pag naka-engage, iba. Astig. Pinag-iisipan ko sanang ibenta kaso nanghihinayang ako sa effect nya. Well, I let-it stand-by for a while and being basically a newbie here at Philmusic then, I searched for threads regarding bypass modders. Eventually I had it modded to Sir Mahavishnu to improve the bypass mode. Ngayon ok na. The thing I like about this is when I use it in combination with my Tubescreamer before it and then Artec analog delay.
Now I'm targeting the Holy Grail plus as my second EH pedal. It's still quite a long shot because it's pricey but I hope I can save enough cash for that soon.
Peace!

#1 echo works and sounds good to me.
cheaper than your mass produced boss dd3/5/6/7...
it does little, little, little coloring to your tone, its digital that's why. but its not metallic and bright like majority of digital delays.
free adaptor pa (wala kasing battery compartment). you wouldn't almost use your digital delays with batter naman eh. magastos.
Anjo of Kapatid though uses batteries on his DD3. iba talaga yung may pera...

Though, I would still prefer the bigger box eventhough there's a slight volume drop... I still think that this has deeper and funkier sound. For tight boards and cheapies, go with the NANOs! Just stay away from the Nano Small Clone!! :lol:

Sirs an inquiry regarding the Small Clone, have seen them sold on JB music.
How reliable is this pedal? Matibay ba s'ya (not that am going to try and smash them) but have read some reviews that is casing is quite thin. Though sound wise, have seen clips of it and indeed it is very nice :mrgreen:

Post by: masterchoxter on March 09, 2009, 05:52:59 PM
Hi ninjeremy!
The Small Clone's exterior is quite sturdy. It doesn't have that thick casing that Boss pedals have but you can depend on this pedal to give you the durability that you want when you go gigging. Tone wise, i would say that it's the best in its price range. Overall, it's quite reliable.
And I own one at that. :-D

Best, NINJeremy
you'd have to consider several things first before you buy a pedal.
first of all, will it fit your board... second, will you be able to power it up using your current dc cables and/or power supply... lastly, is it something you'll really use, need, and want...
the small clone chorus is really a good buy... although compared to the mxr pedal you're talking about, the size is one thing you should consider... the dc cable connector for the small clone also uses those jacks similar to what we use for headphones or earphones... if you dont have that, you can have one made by our local psu makers... mxr uses the standard dc barrel type jacks that's most common for boss users...
list down your pros and cons chief, then you'll be able to decide for yourself... i want you to be able to keep your gear longer and consider it as a good buy rather than a spur-of-the-moment GAS induced buy...
i for one, am going to keep my 3 ehx pedals... :-D
cheers!

Honestly, am just starting out setting my board so size isn't an issue right now. Currently am using a Boss PSM to power my setup which will make me get a PSU for Small Clone in case I get one.

check your current psu's mA... if it has enough headroom for the ehx pedals, then you won't have a problem... by the way, the modulations, delays, reverbs of electroharmonix have very high mA ratings... check their website for those ratings... if your psu can't support the mA ratings, kaput!!! :-)

I use the 1-Spot PSU to daisy chain power to my stomps. The Boss and Ibanez peds are mixed in with the more compact EHX effects (Pulsar trem and Little Big Muff Pi). The EHX Micro Synth and POG have their own PSUs with them when purchased. Those are the only ones I have in the chain that I separately give juice to.

barebones, i could just use the shedhead, the SMMH and the big muff. i use the shredhead on low gain to boost the big muff on solos.
also, i like the sound of the fuzz after the memory man. IMO, the fuzz loses its character when it's before the delay, and becomes quite something else when the fuzz is after a delay. very shoegazey.

They're in the effects loop of my bugera 1960 (http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad60/piblips/CIMG2326.jpg)
any issues with the memory boy? thinking of getting one as a "set and forget" pedal and keep it on all the time. i read a bunch of complaints about this pedal from a couple of musician's forums abroad. poorly built daw. i doubt it though, unless siguro everytime you engage this pedal you do it with a godzilla stomp. :lol:
