Fallout/Muffroom Cloud

rico

Next up on the GAS list is the Fallout Cloud. It seems to be well regarded but I'd like some real life experiences please!

Love mine.  Had it nearly 6 months now so over the initial honeymoon period.

I've not owned a lot of fuzzes to compare it to though.

tone1

It loves a treble booster after it

My amp didn't particularly like it or it was t to my taste etc. However the veteran is great and has the added boost side too. Germanium version admittedly so hard to get hold of now but I believe there's a silicon version out soon

Update: I got one and it's bloody awesome. So much scope in the eq. Just a great pedal.

Great pedal I use a Mini Spark booster after for solo boost.

I have one also. It's a fantastic pedal. A real beast! I've always wanted a muff style pedal but have always ended up selling them as they tend to get lost in the mix in a live situation. Not the fallout though. The amount of eq available is fantastic. Will do subtle to silly rip your face off sounds! 
Oh and it cleans up with the guitars volume control also. Which is new for me on a muff style pedal. It's also the first one of that type that plays nice with my badcat hotcat's clean channel. Which is a pain with some drive/fuzz pedals.

In terms of placement where do you favour the muffroom cloud?

Mines after a tuner wah and RYRA... just wondering if I should put near the beginning of chain?

I have put mine right at the start - even before the TU3.

That's interesting do you find it sounds better there? I may try that.

@builttospill to be honest it took the place of a tone bender type which sounded awful after a buffer and I can't be arsed to rejig my board. It sounds pretty good to me!

@rico ;Mines just after the RYRA but for some strange reason it sometimes gets a little drowned out in the rehearsal room (pirate studios earsfield) on it's own it is beefy as F@@k through my princeton

Mine got drowned out too sometimes but thought it was my amp being too distorted already

@builttospill I kind of know what you mean and I use the same studios but I use my own amp however it's 'only' a 40w valve combo and I use the clean channel. If I knock some of the bass down it doesn't seem to get as lost. 

When do you practice?

Ha! we tend to practice on Sunday from 6-10pm, maybe once or twice a month... I use one of those god awful Laney heads and cabs... much prefer those Roland JC40's they used to have
