alm's Metal Pedalboard

When I started building my rig this was all I could get my hands on. My expectations were all over the place as I only owned a single pedal before it. For being so small it sure is a LOT of functions. The first pedal is only ever really used for the monophonic octave. and monophonic needs to be said with a lot of emphasis because this thing does NOT like chords. The volume goes a little berserk when the tracking fails but still it's a solid octave for the function that it is advertised as. The second pedal is weird. It has all these drive functions but they are all so digital and the ones that are supposed to be digital (synth 1 and 2) aren't customizable enough to be fully utilized. The effects that are used on the second pedal personally are the compressor and the distortion. But where this thing really shines is in the third pedal. The reverb when cranked to a high level makes your tone sound like god himself is singing it down onto you, the chorus sounds absolutely insanely good for bass and the delay is very fun to play around with. The same goes for the final pedal with its volume and wah. I had to adjust the pedal because it required immense pressure to switch between modes but the process was easy and now it works just fine. So today it's my reverb and chorus machine + a tuner and volume switch. And for the price tag it does all of these functions damn well.

Nothing more can really be said. Personally i use it with relatively low sustain for distortion and fuzz. Wether or not a bass player needs a big muff is up for discussion, but as i play in a trio band the answer is definitively yes. It sounds like a big muff and it functions like a big muff. And the big muff works and sounds great.

For me this pedal is a no brainer. Its almost always on for some extra dirt in the tone as well as a slight midrange boost. It sounds warm and makes the bass fill out the room. Also just look at it, it's a beautiful pedal.
