I’m late to the party but awesome video! I’m a Sabbath fanatic and new player and only have interest in playing an SG through a Laney LA amp, Laney cab w/H series speakers replacing the M green backs and a full range germanium boost. The difference between 9&10 on guitar volume when amp and pedal is cranked then crank guitar from 9 to 10 you’re on planet Sabbath. I just ordered one of these but he’s making them with silicone transistors now so hopefully it’s as good as germ. There’s just some type of mojo with a germanium.

I have the 8240 (stereo chorus 2x12 combo) and the 8100. I almost think I like the 8240 better, but being a combo, it doesn’t have much low end. I’ll setup the 8100 to a 412 cab with a scooped sound then run that into the 8240 and use it for some mid tones and it’s killer. I also have the Audiority 8100 wannabe and it’s definitely nothing like the real deal.

@jshchrchll318015 күн бұрын
@PlagueScytheStudios , i reallly appreciate this demo/review and especially that you took the time to analyze the waveforms. when running this pedal with a mono input and stereo output, did you happen to notice whether one side remained dry and the other was the wet signal? or were both outputs effected in some way?
@PlagueScytheStudios14 күн бұрын
In true stereo, it appears one side is an untouched dry signal while the other is 100% wet. I couldn't detect any changes to the dry signal audibly or by viewing the waveform.
