still, it’s clear why people rave about thorpy pedals. Both switches on is a killer. The boost alone is great.
The bias pot... leave that one alone. Its set for the voltage that i think works best and its done with a multimeter. Grit... mark where it is set with a thin black marker pen and adjust it to taste if you fancy. it adds more distortion character to the boost side, so it can be a cleaner boost or a more dirty one.
As for the manual.... I may have made a mistake there, the silicon boosts bass CCW and through to tele frequencies CW.
As for cleanup, the silicon fuzz side will not give you the exact same "Glassy" clean with the volume control as germanium. but it will clean up nicely. The cleanup is also improved when the boost is on. hope that helps, and if you need more info, just PM me.
all the best, Adrian
Yes @ThorpyFX, I noticed there was a better glassy tone with both sides on and a much more defined and robust fuzz rather than the all out explosion with only fuzz. My first impression confirms your reimagining of vintage fx with broader possibilities. The lower fuzz settings did not give a faint unusable fuzz as on vintage models; instead a robust clean. It has successfully replaced my Sonus b108 fuzz but I’m not so confident it will win against the vl effects Jimi black treble boost: not only are they different transistors but I suspect they perform different jobs. I’ll try my best to give a better experience feedback on a separate thread.
I have one of these pedals and it does, when it so chooses, shouts such statements at me. If your Veteran pedal doesn't do this then you're clearly not on @thorpyfx A list or you're not a veteran.
