Bluesberry either cuts mids or adds bass. It's not very interesting.
That said, I haven't ever got along with a hotcake.

Re: What's your favourite overdrive pedal, and why?
Yeah, they put an internal switch in so you can choose between two modes. I haven't used one of these versions in a few years but I remember slightly preferring the blueberry mode. I don't know the specifics of how it works or what it does, but to my ears it seemed a bit smoother. Maybe in BB mode it isn't clipping as hard or something.codedog wrote: I finally visited the Crowther website tonight. I didn't realise there's another version of it too, the Bluesberry one. Have you tried that one?

I concluded some time ago that this thread, and others like it, are the reason I was never happy with multi effects boards. Far too many pedal candies to try out there!

I think multi effects units can be quite daunting for many people too, it's not tactile like a bunch of individual pedals, I think the ultimate solution is a loop switcher with individualscodedog wrote:I concluded some time ago that this thread, and others like it, are the reason I was never happy with multi effects boards.

My main problem with multi-effects units is that I'm too useless to be able to program them to get the best out of them.codedog wrote:I concluded some time ago that this thread, and others like it, are the reason I was never happy with multi effects boards.

I have only used Boss ME-80 and GT-100... both were freakishly easy to use. So yeah, I can only blame my curiosity and penchant for tinkering. Now I'm hankering for a Hotcake... or even double...

I have a programable Stomplab on my board, never even tried to program it, its only there for about 5 out of the 100 odd presets and as a backup tuner

All of the ones made in the past 10 years have the bluesberry mode on an internal switch, also a bass mode. I've never bothered to try either, to be honest! I really should one day.

Re: What's your favourite overdrive pedal, and why?
Just a Keeley modded Ibanez TS808 for me. Pretty much vanilla but does everything I want for the most part. The small handful of others I have tried have either been more about the gain side of things or at the other end, a glorified boost? Im far from an OD pro. I also have a Protone Variable Attack OD that sounds pretty cool an has different mid setting to 'attack' but I see it as more on the high gain I was referring to.
