  • Falcon vs. Falcon Heavy

    Here’s a comparison video showing the MOSFET (Falcon) vs. silicon (Falcon Heavy) clipping and low-mid (Falcon) vs. Russian Muff mid (Falcon Heavy) cuts on guitar.

    What I didn’t show, and should have, his the higher gain range on the Falcon Heavy’s silicon setting. In the first comparison the Falcon’s drive is dimed, while the Heavy’s drive (out of the picture) is at maybe 65-70%.

    This is to help guitarists who want one to choose between the Falcon and Falcon Heavy. I recommend the Heavy for bassists, *unless* you’re going to leave the pedal on all the time; in that case I could see a bassist going for a Falcon, especially for a more vintage sound.

  • Falcon Drive Demo

    Domain forwarding for mrfuriousaudio.com is pending, so ignore that for the next 24 hours or so.

    Sorry again about my dumb socks.

  • Happy Belated 50th Sparks

    I had a head off of my gold sparkle kit last night preparing for the Dark Satellites show, and saw the stamp marking it manufactured in February 1966.  So, happy belated 50th birthday to my drums.
