Little Bear Woolly Mammoth Clone

What's Hot

edited March 2015 in FX

I just won one of these on ebay, for the riotous price of £8.50 (plus postage of £11.95 to be fair, so £20.45 total).

Does anybody have any experience of these? I think it's the same brand as that cheap Rat clone that seems to get good reports

They seem to like cloning pedals with animal names, bears rats and mammoths

Hopefully it is indeed an actual Woolly Mammoth clone as those things are awesome!!

    I know but to be fair the pedal itself is (potentially) ridiculously cheap so I always kind of go on the full delivered price, which still seems reasonable to me. Hopefully it does arrive and it's as good as it sounds like it might be

    Sounds like you're describing JHS. Jesus has sodder.

    I've seen these on eBay. Look fun!

    I hope so, it seems an awful long way for a little box of metal with light up mammoth eyes to have to travel though

    It'll be fine. Mammoths are sturdy.

    They weren't all that sturdy when they became extinct ;)

    That looks cool. Did you have to pay customs?

    Nope thankfully, though the "value" written on the package was $8.50... That's presumably why

    I shall see what i can do. Promises to be a bargain for about 20 squids all in, if its as good as their Rat is, real Woolly Mammoths don't come cheap!

    What's he measuring with his thumb and index finger? His "Little Bear" or his "Woolly Mammoth"?!?!

    Please excuse the awful playing, I was just noodling to try the sounds on the pedal

    Sounds great. Like the Neil Youngesque playing too.

    It has a lot of potential, ive only heard it do the "one trick" before, being that nasty glitchy bassy fuzz, but the Pinch knob does give you a good bunch of other sounds. The extreme nasty fuzz works best on single notes as i think you can tell, but worked brilliantly for high note solos especially considering it's a bass fuzz! Also bear in mind that vid was recorded on iPad pointing at the amp but i gets the general just of the sound. Was using my active Tele in my Tweed Pro junior run very clean

    PS Neil Young?! Never listened to him, which bit sounded like him? It was mostly Jack White snippets, think Black Keys may have been in their too so may have to edit that bit out in case anybody finds out ;)

    This is a fault that needs to be corrected immediately if you play that sort of stuff.

    Buy 'Weld'. Now.

    Ha, it's a deal, if that means the Black Keys is forgotten
