Initial thoughts:
The first thing that hit me when I started playing with this pedal was the high frequency of the fuzz coming out of it. This is not your momma’s fuzz pedal, and those looking for a muff replacement need to look somewhere else.
The blend knob keeps things in check if you want, but when you combine the tone knob (which is more of a notch filter) and the drive in the right combinations you can get a few really interesting sounds out of this goat. The blend fully counter-clockwise is not off, but rather a 10% or 15% dry/wet to my ears. This adds just a light touch of octavy fuzz to the signal, which is crisp and bright, but not overpowering.
I was also able to achieve a dual instrument characteristic with some basses, at some settings, in some ranges. Make no bones about it though, this pedal shines when you let it get brutal. If a hard diamond edge bass cut is what you are after, this is certainly one of the pedals you should look at.
I’ve shared a few brief notes with the maker of the attack goat and he was nice enough to respond to my interview request.
Try the Attack Goat with a high gain output bass (or after a boost pedal) and the Tone, Drive and Blend pots at the minimum… fill its amazing and warm drive!!!!
It sound so good through my GK 800rb, the blend feature is so sweet, allows you to keap the tone of your amp while adding just the right amount of fuzz and tone
I like the new one a lot!
Are you going to do a review of the Battering Ram?
yep
When will it be finished? I’m anxious to hear how it sounds
