I don't remember if it added a lot of compression, the amp was running at the point of breakup -so on it's own it was a little compressed. The P90s wide range of frequencies did not seem to overwhelm the pedal at all and it seemed to hold a lot of dynamics. This guitar has a lot of sustain on it's own, and coupled with the trifecta of the guitar, amp (Fender DRRI), PN the sustain was simply amazing. At one point when we were jamming we went into 'Good Times, Bad Times' and when I cranked it up for the solo it was like all the stars aligned for a few moments. I was getting some tasty grit with the guitar's vol knob down. The howling P90s and the PN are a perfect match. I've played it with the PN before, but the past couple of times I've used it I must have dialed in the perfect settings for the whole rig and it felt like magic. Then I brought my main strat, an all mahogany/chambered w/ Vintage Vibe P90s on Sunday in case we laid down any tracks. We've been rehearsing a lot lately, so I've been playing my strat with Burns Tri-sonic p'ups mostly. I adjust the volume for a slight boost and usually keep the gain all the way off, but might add just a smidge. It reacts very well to the guitar volume, with a more gradual transition from dirty to clean(er) than a Ge Fuzz Face, and without the overly-bright, scratchy clean tone you get by rolling back many Si fuzzes-IMO, of course.įor my classic rock cover band, and for P&W, I use it for additional volume/grit after my Barber Direct Drive Low Gain. I'll occasionally goose it with a DeMarco KloneBender MKIII or a Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom-sounds great with either. For my alt country band, it's my main OD, gain and volume both about 10:00 into a Top Hat Club Deluxe set just on the verge of breakup. I use it in different roles for different projects.

I don't miss a tone control at all, it is nice and simple as-is. Has a nice fat sound without the at times overwhelming bottom of the Ghetto Stomp. I love the Purple Nurple! It replaced a Greer Ghetto Stomp (which I still think is a great pedal, btw) in the 'fuzzy OD' spot on my board. In short, the PN does what every good pedal does in a stacking situation-that is, makes everything just sound a little different, some boxes better, and all VERY usable! At this point I had broken into a DLS-PN-PIC WAH frenzy, and was pulling up some very Clapton-Cream era tones.at which point my daughter and her boyfriend came in and I shut it all down!īut yes, that Purple Nurple looks to be a keeper.and I'm going to check out more BMF pedals in the near future!

Next was the legendary Sunlion.gave the Sunlion's Sunface side a almost tangible roundness and even more suculent tone! (At this point my windows were vibrating!).

The KOT V4 Red Side Higher Gain Mod was next.oh my! Sounded GREAT with either the Yellow or the Red side. DLS V2-YES! Especially with the DLS in the RAWK mode, a mode I hardly ever use! This produced a really nasty-ass-like 'Hellhounds On My Trail' growl, and yes, DLS fans, gave it more Marshall character. This was a marriage made in heaven, but, alas, EVERYTHING seems to stack well with a Timmy, so I had to try some other combinations. On the instruction sheet, BMF Scott (I figure if we have Analogman Mike, we can have BMF Scott, it works so well on many levels) indicates that it really works best on an amp that's on the verge of breakup.so first I stacked it with a Timmy, set to mildly OD my amp. I really don't have a good reference point for !Īfter giving it a workout solo for a while, I decided to test its stacking capability. The lower drive settings are smooth and creamy. It does react very much like a fuzz at higher drive settings.and cleans up incredibly well with the guitar's volume knob (This was a pleasant cleans up as well as any germanium fuzz I've ever tried, maybe even better). The PN just has a Volume and Drive, so I was praying to the gods of TGP that it would have decent bass response.yes it does! Nice, tight bass and smooth mids. Is the PN a fuzz? Is it a distortion pedal? Yes and Yes! First, let me say that I have become a fuzzaholic.I guess I've listened to too many Marc Ford live shows! I've always been cautious about buying ODs/Fuzzes that didn't have any kind of 'tone' control, as I've been burned by a few that were too bright.

Plugged the board into the '61 Deluxe and pulled out the '59 Chambered Historic in honor of Les himself, and off we went. Got it today and stuck it onto the Pedaltrain. Picked up a BMF Purple Nurple on the Emporium from a righteous TGPer.
