For virtually all the Meatheads I own(five or six now..?), you have a very dark fuzz till you reach the last 10% of dirt amount, and then you get a HUGE mid-range spike in amplitude, while the lows stay at about the same level.

I had some frequency domain shots up at some point illustrating this, not sure where they went, but I could make them again once I get my sound card fixed or replaced.

The black and gold Meatheads are much more similar to the early Meatheads, having a more powerful bass response. I'm not sure if this is due to a larger output cap, or what, but my own black and gold Meathead is different from all the others, its tuned to 'Slo mod' stats, making it a dirty low-balling fucker indeed.

Sucks none of you guys have one like it..There's only two I know of.

:fu:

BUT...

Something is coming down the road soon-ish, and...

I'm not saying another furking word about it.

Now if you didn't keep the forum in order I'd say that was favouritism :hihi: And you keep tempting us with little snippets and then, bang, they're gone in 10 seconds as ebay BINs :bangs head:

That is just amazing. I just hope that this will be a regular production model.

Holy shit that looks amazing :headpop: !!!!


If it sounds like it looks, then I DEFINITELY want one ! I adore the black and gold one and it would be great to have one that went a little further in that direction.

So if i get it correctly the tone-scale should be this: dark>B&G>deluxe>standard ?

Yo guys... just noticed my meathead B&G is labled /bass...
Are all B&G's like that? cos mine plays really well with a gtr?

Also... is the dark very close to the slo-mod meatheads?
