T-Rex Mudhoney V1 / opinions on the BMF El Jefe Overdrive

builttospill

 Is anyone using one? loving it? hating it? I'm really liking the fat overdriven and fuzzy tones you can get from it, but how does it compare to something like a Rat (which I've since moved on) or a Crowther Hotcake which I currently own.

I've got a Mudhoney (it's the original with the Dinosaur logo!) For about 10 years. it's my main dirt pedal when I need a heavier drive / distortion sound. the tone control on it is very use able. I use an OD-3 for lighter overdrive sounds. 

It is a Rat clone and sounds a lot like my Rat I had previously to it.

I haven't played a Hotcake for a while but from recollection the Hotcake has more Mids and doesn't get as dirty when the gain is higher, it gives fuzzy quicker.

Thanks for that!

I have the TC electronic Vintage Distortion which is a rebadged Mudhoney, part of a range TC briefly released (presumably licensed by T-Rex). It's my go-to drive pedal, I love it even more now I've got a Dickinson Lo-Mo boost to wallop the front end of it. Love it so much that I'm currently after the twin version!

I'm a massive BMF effects fan and have a number of Scott's pedals. The El Jefe is really good but, like anything it depends what you're looking for.

Is there much gain on tap for the El Jefe and what amp are you using?
