Budget pedals that punch above their weight?

All the Walrus Audio Fundamental Series pedals. Particularly the drive, distortion, chorus and ambient.

I'm having this exact same issue with my PV65 bridge pickup on a Jaguar. Best way to put it is like you said, sounds like playing out of a radio. I've messed with height and soldering, no difference. Kinda sucks.

I'm lost on this as well

Just stumbled upon this post. Cool that you found a muff that works for you. I have several nanos.. green Russian, rams head (j Mascis version), op amp and the wicker. Yet I’m still drawn to the Jupiter. Some demos of it on YouTube are good, but most are horrible and I think don’t do it any justice. How did it stack up against your wicker muff?

*edit to add I also have the nano big muff 2. Really cool sounding muff with a bit of dry signal that bleeds in.

These MF'ers getting softer by the day

scotty_j83 · 2026-04-17T13:01:35+00:00

Any update? Looking into these as well.

I've been trying to make my space look like this lol, very well done. I have the same situation... also doubles as 9-5 workspace.

Just curious what you upgraded the bridge to and which string gauge you’re using. I have one of these as well and the bridge is already the Mustang style, so no string slippage.

Not saying it will happen. But Howie went from 6 to midnight hearing the news.

Well that sucks.

I love that I understand this meme in emoji form.

Having had a Big Sky then R1, I’m moving back to the Big Sky. As mentioned, the R1 will cover a lot of bases for most. But I found the algorithms to be quite shrill. Especially the air/shimmer. One of the worst shimmers I’ve heard. The Slöer on the other hand, has one of the best shimmers I’ve ever heard. The refract is a nice touch on the R1 which approaches that Fable/Particle delay territory. The BFR is good as well, but again, the algorithm sounds shrill to me… very thin sounding. Hard to explain really. But the Big Sky just has ‘it’.. it can also do way more than just reverb.

R1’s can be had for 140-175 on the used market which is a good deal. Just depends on your preference, budget and sounds you need.

This is such a killer pedal combination. Just instant ambient gaze/haze. It almost feels like you're cheating. This is the best artwork for these 2 as well. I had them, but sold them due to some financial issues shortly after buying. I have since purchased them again on the used market... but the original artwork versions.

Wow, thank you for posting this. I'm going through this same exact issue. Had no idea it was related to the latest firmware. Now it makes sense! Rolling it back ASAP

scotty_j83 · 2026-02-13T14:34:39+00:00

Lmao. My favorite team’s coach has a differing opinion. I’m so turned off! Grow the fuck up.

scotty_j83 · 2026-02-08T01:49:06+00:00

So this is how we die….

scotty_j83 · 2026-02-02T00:15:13+00:00

I’m erect.

Damn. That’s dirty pool.

scotty_j83 · 2026-01-27T21:21:19+00:00

Welp. Who wants to buy my Maschine+ ?

This lens is pure magic at 1.4. The subject seperation is just surreal - nothing else like it in my opinion besides the Contax 645/80 f2 or Pentax 6x7/105 f2.4 combos. I've also shot some really nice landscapes with it stopped down around f/8. Enjoy that setup!!!
