Greetings forumites....
It was a fateful Saturday afternoon after almost 9 hours or so of work, I decided to go to Psychic_sushi's hive and hang out. After the usual chit-chat and the countless hours of jamming, it was then time to unravel the mysteries behind the much debated Bakemono pedal the DS-1 super mod created thru the combined efforts of BAMF's electronic wizardry plus the keen senses of Psychic Sushi.
Jobet arrived past seven after his classes and started working on my guitar as he promised. It was his guinea pig for the potting mixture he was working on. At first I was hesitant to try it , but knowing BAMF's wizardry plus Anton's technical prowess on the instrument, combine them both, and its convincingly good. After the mixture was added to the pups and was returned back, Anton and I decided to make a series of test runs.
And the result, EVERY NOTE WE PLAYED CAME OUT IN FULL DETAIL. I was afraid to commit mistakes coz for one thing, the clarity of the guitar was not clear before the potting. But the magic of the mixture really made it astoundingly clear and punchy. So clear and deatiled that one wrong note may disrupt a jam or an actual gig. Naririnig mo lahat ng notes, no tone sucking of some sort even when it is plugged in to an effect.
Next was the MIhiro modded strat. Again, using his unusual tools and tricks, Bamf rewired my 62 ri MIJ strat and applied something he called the SCALARIZER. Its a weird looking electronic device that somehow evens the tone off any guitar. From the looks of it..the item he is installing looks more like ur regular LED. After it was installed, Anton gave it a test run.
The results, the tone from the pre -modification stage increased 35% more with emphasis on the brilliance, the depth and clarity of the notes. And surprisingly, the MIJ MIhiro Modded strat wasnt even potted. All guitars went thru and were tested using a Fender stage 112 amp.
I am very much happy with the results. Anton and I really enjoyed every moment as we played note after note. the guitars were perfect for almost all types of genres. And Jobet really made it for me as he remedied the guitar's lacking quality, sparkle.
After the modification, the Bakemono DS 1 went again to the test. And I have to admit, this pedal really rocks. The pedal is actually designed to work any any amp , maintaining the sound you want or just plainly emulating the most popular amp brands with justice. what caught my attention was the warp feature. It really makes it very versatile. From smooth drives to the agressive tones...everything is bang for the buck. And who says this aint worth it.
Its too early to say that I am endorsing these because skillwise I dont deserve to be an endorser, but I do patronize and believe in the duo's work. Combining their ideas to create the ultimate pedal and guitar modification is rare these days. Isa lng masasabi ko. what they did to my guitars are extraordinary. Cant wait to use this on my next gig. If ur not convinced. Check them out over the weekend. It would really help if u ask questions firsts on what's it all about.
Just my experience on the Bakemono, my Mihiro, and Anton's Akane Strat. Peace y'all
