YIKES!!! I had a circa '74 MXR disto + that I gave away to a kid I was teaching a few years ago. 
Now the guy I'm currently playing guitar with (a big Robben fan, too) tells me he's been lookin' high and low for one...who knew retro gear would be so hot in the 21st century? 
My very first electric guitar effects was a cheapo...I would take a sheet of paper and interleave it through the strings near the pu, with one end hovering over the low E and A.
This gave my Teisco a primative "fuzz tone" inspired by George Harrison's "Think For Yourself."
For you anthropologists, this is one step up the evolutionary ladder from attaching playing cards to your bicycle spokes with clothespins...another neat sound effect! 
Gawd...I'm glad I'm not a kid today!!!

How strange ??? i use it 'coz i am addicted to overdrive, my Ibanez 9 is doing weird sounds (needs a serious check up). Volume at Ten & disto at one. For me this MXR has the ugliest disto sound along with the yellow boss : buzzy chainsaw or asthmatic mosquito.
Have you ever try to scream close to the paper sheet on your guitar .?. |

Funny you should mention cards in the bicycle spokes....as a kid growing up in the sixties i used baseball cards and beatle cards (original versions)for my "sound" cards that i could retire off of today!! who would have guessed when you six years old that you bicycle motor would be worth a fortune later on!!

I am too discrete to ask about your teeth, but if the donation things starts to go nobody knows how far it will go, maybe as far as for a PA? And then maybe teeth?  |

| Considering the price of teeth in France, we'll need Warren Buffet to spare a few bucks from the donation he's made to the Gates foundation |

First feelings over the Zen : uh uh . Then : Oh oh .
Hard to explain . First : Nothing to do with any territory or people .
I knew about that or at least it was the proper way to be smart about that.
Hell , no Robben tone nor Larry. Very transparent. Interaction between
Gain tone & Voice. A lot of Volume .
I don't know if it is on purpose but the way the pots were set when i plug gave exactly the same volume than the clean tone Plus an exceptionnal grindness remaining a tube amp ( this was on a little solid state practice amp).
More to come. |

Blob,
glad you got it!
Now, if you can't dial in the RF Dumble tone (a la handful of blues) you are using the wrong amp and possibly guitar. I use mine through an ultra clean set Mesa Boogie and my Ernie Ball (Musicman Steve Morse model), but my mate has had great tones coming from his Fender Super Reverb.
Just this weekend (no one in the house ) I cranked up my rig and played along to the "handful of blues" CD and I can honestly say I got very, very close to his tone (guitar set to single coil). Pity my playing wasn't as close 
I look forward to more reviews from you, and good luck in the football!
Cheers,
DD
