Distortion/Fuzz
"GOOD/BAD" is a bold take on the legendary three-knob Tonebender. While we have done Tonebenderesque pedals in the past, "GOOD/BAD" is not only the closest to the original (though its not very close) it is by far the heaviest. "GOOD/BAD" ranges from a slightly fuzzy preamp, to a full blown distortion-fuzz.
"GOOD/BAD" is currently the heaviest fuzz in the Pine-Box lineup thanks to high gain transistors and a very specific bias point. We went back to the basics on this one. All through hole components, all panel mounted jacks, and all transistors measured and selected by hand. Each device is carefully tested not only for function, but for sonic range. If those reasons aren't enough, each unit will ship with your very own pair of 3D glasses.
VOLUME: controls the overall output volume of the pedal
TONE: controls the high/low frequencies in the pedal
DRIVE: controls the overall gain of the circuit
This pedal sounds very similar to two other pedals I have in my possession currently, the Wampler Germanium Tumnus Deluxe (whichever one is the Fairly Limited Edition version with the small batch of NOS diodes or whatever they were, it's not right in front of me at the moment so I may have written the name wrong) and my BYOC (Build Your Own Clone) Rams Head Big Muff Pi. I feel fairly confident that with the knobs all adjusted properly I could get an almost identical sound out of any of the three, although interestingly enough, the byoc pedal seems to switch on and off most quietly and generate the least amount of amp hum of the three. Although that may not be the case if I tried to adjust it to the exact same levels and tone that I have the Good/Bad adjusted to. Nonetheless, the Good/Bad seems like a quality pedal for a reasonable price. If you're looking for that fuzz face tone, the Good/Bad can make it happen. Considering the price some other Fuzz pedals sell for, I would say this one makes a pretty good sound for only $169.
