Impressions later - including stacking it with my Broadcast!  Mansons seem to still have some in stock if anyone is looking.

    An excellent pedal. Works superbly in a band context.

    It’s so good!  Only vaguely TS-ish when I compare it to my Maxon OD-808.  So much more going on.  Sounds killer stacked with the Broadcast with both at low-medium gain.

    Would you say it has less (or none) of the TS mid-hump @spirit7 ?
    And does it do the picking dynamics/clean up with the volume knob that germanium fuzz's do? Thanks for any insight...

    It has a bit of the hump, but that can be to an extent dialed out with the treble and bass controls.  It certainly sounds more "neutral" than my Maxon OD-808.  

    Not a fuzz man so can't answer the second part of your question - sorry!  I will say that it became pretty fuzzy on the higher gain settings.

  • I've managed to nab one of these from Manson's thanks to this post @spirit7. ;  

    @timbuk02 I'd say it's mid hump is considerably less than a TS. The EQ controls are very useable, you can knock off some highs and bass if you want it to sound more like a TS. It cleans up well, but on max gain it won't go completely clean using guitar volume. It goes from almost a fuzz to a nice overdrive though. Very versatile pedal.

    You’ll love it!  I’m actually enjoying it more than the Broadcast, but together they’re perfection.
