MXR Custom Badass '78

Mike has his grubby little (actually, not that little) mits on one.

I'm muchly looking forward to tinkering with it later. And the pedal (before Decker gets there).

I shall report back with my findings.

 

On a not-unrelated note Coda music (certainly the Stevenage guys) are awesome to deal with. I'd recommend dealing with them.

These are really, really good pedals - is this the red one with the little button on?

If it is, it's proper great sounding.

Thats the kiddie. I shall try flattening south Cambs later with it.......

They are good, and I have one for sale too. Just in case anyone wants one ....

It's a great standalone distortion, kinda like a keeley ds1 but much cheaper!

It is Awesomes.

that is all.

 

Actually it isn't.

The pedal is really "open" sounding. and could cope with just about any musical situation from blues to metal. There's enough gain for anyone sane. And me. I found winding the tone back to 12, and lower, did however make the pedal sound a bit flat and lifeless, over 12 and it really opens up.

You need the Badass OD as well now as they are designed to stack

Like 22 dirty pedals isn't enough.

Actually maybe I do need more...........

I like the demos of this little red beastie...but the less nice looking beastie that is the Super Badass is the one I'm wanting just that bit more.......cos its got that extra Super bit!

@siraxeman it is a fannytastic pedal One of my favourite dirt pedals (And I have some)

Once the tone is past the 12 O'clock position the pedal is really open sounding, and can cope with just about any musical situation (except maybe a really scooped metal sound).

It'd be on the short list for a 1-2 dirt pedal board.
