for me, the trick is to get the right balance between drive and threshold (various slightly between the 2 modes)
i tend to like it just on the edge so that it cuts in just enough when a harder signal, but not overpowering the rest of the time
obviously its a crackly broken sound, so its entirely possible that sometimes/always people wont like it
yep, that's the way i do it as well and envisioned other people doing it.

Brian, is the crackle on the Fuck anything like the weird crackly type sounds I get and love on certain settings on the Hawk fuzz?
it is definitely more suited to guitar/keyboards and/or drone-y/wash-y type things - the crackle stuff doesn't really do single note basslines any favors, though you might be able to get a really harsh fuzztone by using the heavy setting if that's the sort of thing you're into.
as for the hawk, i'm not sure exactly which sounds you're referring to but i think it's probably a bit different in terms of texture/attack/decay/etc.

hey, no worries! it's a pretty specific effect so i never expected everyone to get along with it and i totally agree that the mini bias control offers a little more versatile/non-specific sounds. they're different flavors for sure.
