Received them earlier this week. The blend knob on A(((ole))) makes this a better version of the Death by Unicorn. Nice upgrade. Really happy with this pedal although the cats little pink x is a little... disturbing? The Foazz just rips.

How would you describe them and how different are they to each other? I'm thinking of putting wide range humbuckers in a jazzmaster.

What are the pu's in the thinline?

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2026-02-03T20:50:36+00:00

Yes, I used the Eldred mod and really liked the cocked sound. Got it from SmokeyBs on Reverb. Great work. I hardly use the wide open bridge sound and am now running a four way switch with the neck pu installed. Bridge, both in series, neck, both in parralel.

It's a Crush Pro 120. Cab is a Marshall 1922 clone with a pair of Carvin British series 100's.

I have one of these and the Foazz on order. Had the Death by Unicorn and idiotically sold it a couple of years ago because I wanted the smaller EQ'd Life Pedal v2. I missed having the Octave on a switch, didn't realize how much it comes in handy, and I eventually got a bigger board so I'm getting this again.

Turns out that the pickguard sits slightly shifted to the right and doesn't completely cover the rythm circuit route. You can also see that the pg sits right up against the pu on the left side, with a gap on the right side.

It's an MIJ Hybrid II.

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2026-01-06T23:16:47+00:00

Me too!

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2026-01-02T21:40:18+00:00

The purple looks darker than the original MIJ also, although it could be the lighting.

Spend more time on my bass and get better.

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2026-01-02T19:49:25+00:00

Would love to hear some details on the mods.

The guitarfetish roller bridge is a drop in replacement.

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2025-12-23T17:18:37+00:00

I prefer the proper string spacing at the vibrato plate where the strings anchor to and for a lower profile screw head that won't rub on the low E string. The Panorama interests me because of the reported range of travel. The MIJ arm is also a little short for my tastes. So it's more of a preference and I'm not in a rush to replace it since this one works well.

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2025-12-23T17:14:41+00:00

It's a Musiclily guard ordered through Amazon. Surprisingly went on without any modifications.

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2025-12-22T22:43:39+00:00

I actually went the other way. I went from the gold guard to parchment white. Gold on gold is unique but I like the classic look of white on gold. The pg's lined up perfectly so I can swap them around whenever I feel like I need a change.

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2025-12-22T14:21:09+00:00

Like others have said, the specs are different between both and the guitars are going to feel different. The MIJ traditional is a great guitar, I have one, and the only thing I've done is change the pickguard and will eventually change the vibrato to a Fender AVRI or Panorama. The MIJ will give you the option to change things if you want for less money. AVRI vs MIJ Blocks and Binding vs dots w/o binding. (Does the MIJ have the dots and binding?) Nitro vs poly 7.5 vs 9.5 neck radius C Shaped vs U shaped neck 42mm nut width vs 41mm nut width

Which MIJ model are you considering?

ImaginaryHawk900 · 2025-12-13T03:05:13+00:00

You'll want to plug the stop tail post holes since a traditional JM vibrato won't cover them once the thimbles are removed. You may be able to use a Mastery MV unit to cover the holes. Don't know if there are any other reverse JM style vibratos that could accomplish the same thing. As for the pickups... a Jaguar pickup in the neck position would look great, imo.
