i regret selling this pedal, i loved the tone of it and if im honest i thought it looked pretty cool too and that might be making me look back on it more favourably than i should. it does get marked down for a complete lack of versatility as the distortion is bulit in maxed and cant be changed and the tone is a switch for high pass or low pass filter so its all the bass or all the treble, and you just get a volume knob. but for me just having it set on the low pass filter it was great and i really do miss it.
Artist usage
Add artist
Used on The Great Southern Treadkill, as stated in this June 1996 Guitar World interview.
You've got a huge pile of effects boxes in the studio. Aside from the ones you've already mentioned, what other units did you use?
I hooked up my MXR Flanger/Doubler every once in a while and I used an E-Bow for a real smooth, continual sustain on "10's." I also used one of those little Korg Pandora boxes for a weird, fluttering sound on a short passage in "10's" and a Lexicon Vortex for the shimmering, breathy tone on my theme-like lead in "The Underground in America."
I also used a Roland AP-2 Phase II pedal, a KorgAX30G, a Digitech Whammy pedal, of course!, a Boss CE1 Chorus and a bunch of old Electro-Harmonix shit -- a Small Stone Phaser, an Electric Mistress Flanger/Filter Matrix, a Little Big Muff and a Soul Preacher Compressor/Sustainer. I also used a Korg G1 on the demos and some of that made it on the record. If l can't beat a part of the demo we'II just extract that small section and use it. The G1 is a bad-sounding little unit, man.
There's some wah on the record, too.
Shit, I almost forgot about that! I used my Vox Wah on the earlier part of the recording and then Jimmy Dunlop sent me one of his rack-mount units [Crybaby DCR-1SR]. Man, that thing is incredible, you can literally get whatever you want out of it. I also really like the idea that you can run a bunch of Wah pedals all over the place on stage with it so you're not always tied to that one spot. The only uncool thing about it is that Rex [Brown, bassist] will be dicking me off every night 'cause he'll be jumping on my pedals all the time!
En este podcast Richard cuenta que a sus 15 años, en un viaje a EEUU, compra su Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (Cherry sunburst con mini humbuckers) un Electric Mistress v1 (el mismo que usa Summers y Gilmour) y un Little Big Muff.

"After mine broke, I bought a 70’s Little Big Muff Pi [op-amp version] in a second hand guitar store; it just has a volume knob on it, which I set all the way up. There’s this little switch that toggles between bass and treble on the side too, I just set it to the bass side."
