VOID MANUFACURING
CORPSE GRINDER \/\/\
There is a lot of detail in this pedal because it uses FETS that are
$350.00 USD
a transistor equivalent of a real tube. This is not your average high
gain dirt pedal with a nice cheap Opamp and some clipping diodes.
It has to use several cascading FETS and build in a lot of headroom.
The layout gives you a lot of tone shaping. You have Volume Treble,
Bass and Mids. The big deal is you have Mid Peak and mid Sweep a quasi parametric for your Mids and a likewise High Sweep.
CONCLUSION __
This is all about doing one thing perfect. If you wanteven a hair more of something in its range its there.The overall tone is free of fizz and artifacts.If Death Metal tones that are great are the perfectshade of purple this can do it.
A cheap Fuzz stacked on a cheap high gain OpAmp pedal will be purple but a bit of Red or Bluewill pop thru here and there as you are playing it. So you go for a couple of $30 pedals (I did)or you go for the luxury of a $350 pedal.

thefineprintI use an iSet Grim Heavy Metalalone or with a Fuzz stacked on it.It is a re-branded MOOER Blade.$25.00 USD with free shipping, lol.
Hiya Paul how’s it goin’?
ReplyDeleteIset is a sleeper brand for sure, pretty nice pedals for not much coin. I bought the Lemon Squeeze compressor for about $35 cad. Fantastic little squeezer. It’s yellow, like the Mooer. Only the Mooer is now fetching prices just shy of a hundred bucks at amaZ0n.ca. Anyway the Iset is a bona fide gem imo, great squish, fantastic gain, almost does the work of a pre-amp and it has a “tone” knob from which it is possible to achieve some sparkle. Cheers Paul
Are there any other good options in the Iset lineup?
DeleteTHANX for dropping by. Is the comp the Modtone? They are are online but the comp is not.
ReplyDeleteThe iSET PD-11 Wheat Fuzz is very good take on a Big Muff Triangle Fuzz. In an shootout it sounds 95% there. A very, very careful listen shows the real Muff has just tiny bit more lows but those lows are not tight or in a band context even desirable, they just add mud.
ReplyDeleteThe iSET Flanger is very popular but I had the same one with Donner instead of iSET printed on it. I found it lacked any harmonic detail or ant richness. Flangers in general are hard to do cheap and sound good as by nature they are meant to add WOW not just lay there like drabby wall paper.
The other choices are pedals that MOOER no longer sell as a MOOER pedal. MOOER make a lot modelers, small amps and now even guitars. They have to be careful not to bring the profile and image of the brand down.
