Re: Hotcake: clean boost vs. in pedal gain
yeah man. i LOVE that pedal. plus i'm picking up that Dark Driving one next week to.
I kinda want to sell it to fund other goodies (tonebutcher pocketpus, dwarfcraft shiva) basically hella over the top fuzzes.
p.s check my FB, that new cover from Deafheaven is up. its tight.
if anyone is interested in my Double Hotcake, PM me.

Re: Hotcake: clean boost vs. in pedal gain
Thought I would give you guys an update:
1. I reduced the 'master volume' on the bassman down to near zero
2. I set the preamp gain on the bassman to break-up
3. The hotcake is set to a semi-clean boost
4. The compressor is now after the hotcake
With this set-up I get a pretty even volume level but can control the gain by playing softer or turning my guitar volume down. Some of my dirt comes from the hotcake but a good chunk comes from my amp at a manageable volume level. It sounds great with my Carbon Copy self-oscillating into the amp at break-up point - wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but I get some some nice almost synth-like sounds out of it with sustained chords. With how often I find myself in the texturalist role lately, maybe I should get a synth pedal!
Thanks for all your ideas!
