At least this works on my Casio. It'll drone up to a dozen different notes at once, until you step on the pedal again.
Mine doesn't have that :( I wish.

The PSS has that glorious sustain button though, amazing into octave fuzz when notes crash into each other like with one of those sweet wave boxes at the marine science museum.

Das true the sustain button is nice. It can be modded for a sustain pedal and a bunch of other shit but I don't know if I'd even use it that much; the layout of keys isn't the most inspiring thing for me most of the time.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I do miss mine though, fried it trying to bend it with the power plugged in instead of running on batteries, that was dumb.
I "wanna" sell my DT Jr. and my Jazz pickups and buy a Ric pickup and then I'd be content with my bass 'cause I just worked my plans for it out but I have to stay strong because synthesizer...
I'll just wait to get hired first, blehhhhhh.

Just bought the best thingy ever... Why did nobody get this idea sooner? It makes life sooo much easier! I'm amazed by this. It changed me. A power chord that doesn't take up a socket. I love it.

anybody who needs some black arts dirt needs to hop on over to the website pronto.

How is it UG?
just opened it this morning and only had the chance to get friendly with the tones.
i played it through an ac15 with a 69 jvri mustang, gibson sg std with vintage pups, and a 50s silvertone.
zap > amp
zap > foxx tonemachine
zap > rams's head
zap > ft > rh
i also flipped flopped too with the vintage in front.

its nicely presented and the graphics look swell. even came with a purty pic and cloth baggy. and the signed/dated/numbered certificate of birth. i guess thats pretty cool for a ltd pedal.

Has a Treble Control, Volume, Bass Control. two stomp switches, one for on off and one to switch between the Green and Red "circuits?". Basically green is low gain, red is high gain. Both tone controls are very subtle until you get to the extremes. For awhile i thought the Bass wasn't working. At higher volume/gain settings its more apparent that they are working. Not really a complaint because the more familiar i became the easier it was to discern small changes. but it sounds very subtle.

These preliminary findings reflect my thoughts on the pedal by its self, but with all three guitars.

GREEN:
with the gain turned down it can be used as a nice boost, slightly colored. With volume and tone controls at 12 o'clock, it gets nicely textured as you increase the gain. At full gain its not really pumping out gobs of distortion, just gets more harmonically rich and textured, pushed the amp on the verge of breakup very nicely. The gain knob seems very responsive, so there is alot useful range that used in conjunction with the volume know can lead to very useful tones. With the treble rolled off completely, it doesn't get muted or muffled and is actually a really cool tone that worked best with higher gain settings, but some pedals cut the treble and its a useless tone. at the other end of the spectrum you're just adding more brightness and definition to the textured gain. Also there isn't a perceived volume increase with the treble fully cranked, some pedals for whatever reason I've noticed that happen and the higher frequencies gets harsh.

RED:
with the gain turned down is can still be used as a boost, but the coloration and energy of it made me feel like there's a tiger in a cage trying to get out. and no foolin'. there is a LOT more gain in the red and slowly turning up the gain with tone volume bass at 12 o'clock unleashed a beast! Pretty much everything I said about the Green Setting applies, other than RED can get loud and nasty. The fuzz isn't super aggressive, its just this swirling vortex of harmonics that subtly pulse out like light from a disco bowl, kinda growls in its own way.

Even though the red gain is much louder than the green, i though it might be problem switching between the two. But the gain and volume control settings are really responsive and its easy to dial in various positions so you don't blow down the doors when you go from green to red. unless thats what you want :thumb: then that's easy to do as well.

Really nice sounding pedal. I'm very pleased I bought one and would recommend it to anyone into great sounding overdrives and fuzz pedals that have a serious amount of tonal possibilities.

stacking with my foxx tonemachine, a much more aggressive pedal with octave up was a brilliant match with the zap in the red and volume cranked. I wish someone made a pedal that sounded like THAT.

Thank you kind sir for the detailed review, very much appreciated! I think I want I one...
