What made you buy that pedal, does he use one himself or something? I can barely find any info about it and there's only two videos on youtube, although none of them are the same model as yours. I just can't fathom buying a 200$ pedal completely blind. I mean, if he uses that pedal and you want to emulate his rig then ok that's one thing.

I just hope you're happy with it.

Well, it's pretty hard to get your hands on an obscure boutique pedal that's hand-wired in God knows where and sold in a grand total of three different dealers in America that are just as obscure. If I dislike it I can always return the damned thing. Also, I'm not going by his pedals, but of his general sound and the knowledge of his amp. I spent roughly a week researching different Vox emulators, and my understanding of the general consensus was that the TBIAC is superior. Out of curiosity, why are you worrying yourself over such a trivial issue that doesn't even involve you? I try not to take anything seriously on this forum, because if I did I would not like it here very much at all. As such, my past posts on the matter were obviously written in a joking manner, like most everything I 'contribute', however you proceeded to 'put your serious pants on' and try to make me look/feel like an idiot. If you [i]must[/i] hear my ill-conceived logic on my purchase, it is this: while most hand-wired boutique pedals come and go out of production, without notice much of the time, cheap Fender guitars will be around forever. At least until late 2012, anyway.

It matters little to me what you spend your money on, you bought a pedal that cost more than your guitar which you were just complaining about in the gear thread, I was only attempting to offer some advice which may or may not end up saving you time/money.

FYI, when you post shit on the internet people are going to read it and or question it.

Read it and question it all you want, but don't be a dick about it. I'm ending my /Brye here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg6FTOzYO5I&t=2m4s

If you want to get Mukai's sound, you're going to need a Telecaster, as he uses that most of the time and they have a very unique guitar tone.

I actually get fairly close with my LP in the middle position.

Maybe to some songs, some sounds, but that's a given with ANY guitar. You can always approximate a certain range of sounds, but if Mukai's overall sound is what you want rather than the guitar on a few specific songs, you're not going to be able to really nail his sounds without either a lot of pedals to change up your tone or a Tele.

Pedals don't play a big part in Mukai's sound. A Telecaster on the middle pickup position into a Vox AC30 (preferably Top Boost) will get you 99% there.

^truth

what amp are you running that pedal into?

Vox AC4TV. I like it a lot, but I wish it had a three knob tone control.. or at least two.

nice i got one too

i dont mind too much about the single tone control just dime that mofo lol

Pedal finally came in yesterday. It sounds amazing with my Tokai Distortion and Blues Driver. It's hard to find a bad tone with it turned on. Also, it has a fucking purple LED.

This. Also, you guys gotta hear the tone on my Telecaster's middle position. I botched the wiring when I installed my bridge pickup, so now the middle position sounds TOTALLY nasal, out of phase, whatever the hell. It's kinda funny. TYMT says I should keep it the way it is cause it's so unique. Instead of "Mukai" I get "squownk squownk squownk"
