yeah i've beat the shit out of that thing.... they're not very durable tho IMO.... i broke the mini switches almost immediately and hardwired them to where i want them... and the pots turn so easily that i pulled the knobs from the middle two so i just have speed and depth... when i use it with BTS i have to tape those up too....

A good time was had with these last night. Accompanied by a Gibson Les Paul through a Vox AC30 Bright (non-Top Boost) channel. :tu:

Thanks ST! They all bring something different to the sonic table! The Arc Big Green is my first dive into Big Muff pedals. So far, I love it! It's set for flat mids at the moment. I'm kind of bummed the Diode Lift feature was eliminated from this issue... Regardless, it still sounds fantastic! (Doesn't hurt that it looks freakin' awesome too!) :cheers:

It really is a gorgeous/bulletproof build...I've owned/own some other nice Russian muffs, but the ARC has been my hands down favorite. Mine is set to the standard/scooped mode now, but I do love the flat setting as well. I wish you could set the mids via an external switch like the standard version, but it's that's just a minor niggle...it really does sound fantastic :)

Hey that's a kwm klone.... Some guy in taiwan was making them for a while, but i think he stopped..... So far my fave klone.... Identical layout and parts..... I tried a piedmont aluminum falcon that advertized the OG board layout etc, but much prefered the kwm... Redeye swears by the klontarf, but i've not tried it yet... I've also heard ceriatone is making a dead nuts klone with the OG enclosure style! I got on the list for that... If it doesn't cut it i'll drop the kwm in the enclosure :hihi:

Still have my OG centaurs... They've been retired from live use.... :wink2:
