Just got a Whetstone and I...

[dhw204]

...love it. LOVE IT.

That is all.

[Gunner Recall]

The whetstone is some serious phaser.
I traded my white&red one away for a dual fuzz...I love the dual but it really miss the whetstone

[dhw204]

After a hiatus from guitar (going back to school - living in a not-so-guitar-friendly-apartment - frantically trying to find a job - finally finding one) I went on a pedal spree recently. But...it's not like I'm raking it in so now I have a few that I need to sell to cover some of the cost of the binge... If only I had unlimited funds and unlimited pedalboard space!

How is the dual fuzz? Do you get equal use from both sides?

[Gunner Recall]

Heck yeah, the musket is a swiss army muff, and the fix'd is for both the more subtle (just boost/tone) and extreme amp explodey/sputtery fuzz.

I've got an infinitphase now, it's all sorts of crazy, but I really just miss the base sound of the whetstone.
Plus it doesn't need a funny power supply like the infinit

[dhw204]

That sounds sweet...

I've had my eye on getting a Musket for awhile now, but I recently got the Whetstone and got a 3Leaf GR2 envelope filter this weekend (awwwweeeesome) and have a custom Algal Bloom on the way... it may time for a breather! (and more playing)

But...I think 2012 will be the year I revisit the muff family. I used to have one of the EHX black Russian models - it didn't last long before falling apart, but it was one of my favorite pedals when I first started playing. I now have a Swollen Pickle Mk II I'm looking to get rid of (frustrating as I just got it), and it's muffy and versatile, but despite its bevy of tones, it lacks a bit in note definition and is a little scooped-mid for me no matter what I try (Tele -> AC15)

Late response but you really gotta fuck wit the internal trimpots in that thing

But if note definition and muff together is what you want, you want a musket, the musket has the tightest ass of
any muff I've ever had the pleasure to play with.

[dhw204]

I played with it quite a bit, and may go back and mess with it a bit more before putting it up for sale, but note definition was something that really jumped out at me with the Musket demos I saw. Wasn't used to hearing such a good combination of muffiness and tightness. The Swollen Pickle, for all the sounds it has (many of which are fantastic, many of which are useless), just can't seem to get that.

As for: "Tightest ass of any muff I've ever had the pleasure to play with." I think you just blew my mind.

I've got a #68... there are many things i like and there are a few things i don't enjoy that much...

the sounds are absolutely gorgeous hard to get sometimes, but awesome anyway. Surprisingly, i absolutely adore the Ring mode... i haven't had any experience with ringmods, but i fell in love with it instaneously
But here goes one of the main problems for me - the ringmod carrier signal is very loud. I prefer phaser in front of fuzzes and after OD, but with the carrier signal, it sounds quite awful
so the chain now goes Fuck OD -> Fix'D Fuzz (lately mainly Fuz:2!!! it sounds amazing with the ringmod) -> Whetstone -> Pharaoh, so i can get the best out of both worlds

Even the simple phasing is very pretty and i really am able to at least partially mimick the Sovtek Small Stone i replaced with Whetstone - so everything good... tremol-esque and leslie-ish sounds are easy to achieve, vibrato sounds more natural than on my Digitech PDS 20/20... analog vs digital, right? The least usable for me is the Fixed mode, maybe for some special effects during recording, but live? no way...

Frankly - haven't bonded with it properly yet. I've had it for a week, but it might be because it's kinda complex...

i will post some videos lately somewhere... maybe...

You have a V1 and early one at that. The V2 resolves the audible carrier stuff and makes Ring mode FAR more useable. There is an easy mod that will get you 90% there, if you want info on the mod or to send it in for the mod.

Had a Whetstone for a while and really had fun with it. At the time I need subtle slow phase sounds and fast trem/vibey sounds. I was able to dial it in so that a couple switch flicks got me easily switching between the two as needed.

#64 be MINE!
Would one of you kind gents kindly share the "easy mod" info?

Just get at Kyle. You can send it in and they'll do it at BE.

I was hoping not to have to send it in, he made it sound like it was straightforward enough.
Plus I reached out to Kyle a few days ago and haven't heard back...bro must be busy

[Chankgeez]

IDK what the mod is. There're a number of mods they can do to V1 Whetstones. I opted to have my V1 board replaced with a V2. So, I just sent it in.

I'm sure Kyle'll tell you what the mod is. Sometimes he's just busy.
