more toys than talent
First let me say I am an Amp Distortion guy. With that said I recently bought a Tonal Insanity Little Big Horn pedal that has added a new dimension to my rig.
I mostly play guitars with humbuckers through my modded Marshall JVM 210 and I am 100% happy with my tone!! I also have a PRS SE EG with Fender Texas Specials loaded in it. It just never sounded right straight into the amp so I got a Boss DS 1 and use that into the clean channel. This was a big improvement and I knew I was on the right track. Still something was missing...
I saw an amazing video demo of the Bogner Red pedal, it really blew me away. I looked at the price and wasn't thrilled about a $300 pedal I would only use here and there. I looked for a used one but was not quick enough on a few deals. My local GC got one in and I gave it a go through a Bad Cat amp with a PRS SE Santana. I was very underwhelmed and breathed a sigh of relief I did not waste my money. I will be happy with my DS 1.
One of our fellow PRS Forum rockers, Rider, has a line of pedals called tonal insanity. Many of you have probably seen the CRGTR demos. There are many types with lots of possible adjustments to tailor the tone.
I wanted something to use through my clean channle and give me magic and also to possibly use as a flavor to add to my gain side. I tried all of the pedals out and the Little Big Horn seemed to fit the bill. I must say when I first got it home I was a little unsure. I spent more time on the second try and really dialed it in. It make my single coil guitars sing with bite and growl and my humbuckers have a new flavor to choose from.
The pedal has volume and tone, drive and fuzz with swiches for tone shaping and fuzz type. I look at it as kind of a Tube Screamer and Fuzz Face combination pedal. I am using it with the shape set to flat transparent tone and volume with the drive up and a splash of fuzz. The fuzz control is the wild card here, it can take the pedal from grit to on the edge of exposion ( think Hendrix cranked through some old Marshall with a Fuzz Face waaay too loud!).
Bottom line: Small solid pedal, built like a tank, very nice looking, tons of great tone and options and best of all made by one of our PRS Forum brothers. Lets rally around Mike and give these a try - you will love them!!!
