Diodes and offboard wiring display poor arrangement; a $300 lead forming machine could improve component handling.

The interior design often resembles a "rats nest" due to poor layout and lack of consideration for component placement.

Features and functionality

The pedal appears to be a modified Big Muff Pi with options for diode switching and potentially a bias knob, though the exact purpose remains unclear.

Some versions of the pedal, labeled 'supreme,' include diode switches for changing gain stage routing.

0 0

The Depth control is critical for balancing the low end between "weak," "massive," and "flabby," significantly impacting the pedal's tonal versatility.

Reports mention that the pedal may break quickly, as indicated by one user's experience with a one-knob HM-2 variant.

0 0

The pedal excels when used directly with a clean amp, offering an open fuzz tone but struggles with already-compressed, overdriven tube amps.

0 0

Works well with bridge-position Seymour Duncan JB pickups but not with neck-position Jazz pickups, which can cause choking even at reduced volumes.

Incredible

As a guitarist I think one thing that we all can identify with is idolizing a guitar hero as a kid. We all had em without a doubt. They shape the way you view music, the way you play, and maybe even down to the type of guitar you play. But when it comes to playing guitar there are a lot of guys out there trying to emulate the tone of their guitar heros. People have been trying it for decades for example when it comes to Angus Young from AC/DC, or Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath for sure. Now if you were anything like me, or the fine folks at Lone Wolf Audio, you were trying to emulate the tone of the late, great Frank Zappa. Now with that being said, that's not an easy thing to do whatsoever, considering how much of a tone revolutionary Frank really was. He was on the cutting edge of guitar technology in his day, making it even more complicated to duplicate his tone. That is until now. Lone Wolf Audio now brings you, THE INSIDER. The Insider is a harmonic overdrive that not only enriches your tone, but really adds flavor to your sound. Or if you wanna just sit around and recreate the entire "Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar" series yourself you can with this bad boy. With a switch to raise or lower the gain, or use the middle position to boost the whole signal you have some serious options at your fingertips. You have knobs for Level, Sweep, Gain, and Distortion here with the ability to make some truly funky noises with this one too. So check this one out for a truly one of a kind pedal in a world that has brought us a lot of the same recreations, Lone Wolf Audio truly has an original creation on their hands with this one well worth a purchase. It's one of my favorite pedals I own and it's not going anywhere anytime soon as far as my pedal board is concerned.
