I like to feed parallel drives with the crossover block. Fun to have fuzz on the low notes and distortion on the high notes.

Anyone have a great thick fuzz tone? Something like the op amp EHX big muff, but more sputtering and wild
This weekend at the soonest. Work, school starts Thursday...this week is not a week where I get to touch a guitar.@iaresee don't leave me hanging (knowing he has a job, family and a pandemic)

Distance learning, of course. So double hard.Excuse me while I gawk at the second part. Good luck!

Colorsound Supa Tonebender. I think I might still have one, but I kind of remember selling one or 2. With a Fender as the base tone, kind of ridiculous, but with a Marshall set relatively clean, the bass gets compressed enough to be ludicrous without going over the top. Bridge pickup only, mind you, turns into a swamp of slush if neck pickup is engaged. Tried to replicate with the Axe FX II and failed, and have not yet got around to trying to do the same with the Axe FX III. I need to try again!

Have you tried the latest firmware?Probably just me but, since getting the III, I've not found the drives to work very well with pretty much any amp I try them with. I wind up with a lot of farty, frappy, fizzy mess, or ice pick in the ear nastiness. Reducing drive gain, bass roll off, EQ'ing, reducing input 1 gain level, everything else I can think of. Nothing seems to get me in the ballpark of what I was getting with the IIXL. Used various overdrive and distortion pedals for decades before going with modelers and never had this much trouble dialing in a good overdrive tone - though the drives in the IIXL were glorious. I've had more success using the preamp boost in the amp block so have just been using that when I need a good overdrive or distortion tone. There's really no great secret to dialing in a tasty overdrive or distortion tone, at least there didn't used to be, so I'm guessing it's just something I'm doing wrong. Still love the III and it's definitely my go forward rig for the foreseeable future. Just wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong with the drives.
No need to replicate, the Bender is already in there.
Nope, it was based (loosely) on the Maestro fuzz. The EHX Ram’s Head was released a decade later, I think.
Never really understood "pedal platform" guys . Makes no sense to me; unless you are playing mostly clean, what is the point of getting some fancy, esoteric tube amp only to get all your tone from a battery powered SS box...
The Colorsound Supa Tonebender came out in 1973. It's the same circuit as a violet Ram's Head.
From Kit Rae's site:
THE COLORSOUND SUPA TONEBENDER - By 1973 Sola was using the Colorsound brand on its pedals, now built in wider "jumbo" sized enclosures. The Tone Bender was upgraded and moved into this new enclosure. The Colorsound Supa Tonebender (pronounced Super) featured a new Silicon transistor circuit that had no relationship to the previous Germanium transistor Tone Bender circuit at all. This new circuit was essentially a knockoff of the Electro-Harmonix four-transistor Big Muff circuit, specifically a 1973 era Big Muff, now known as the violet Ram's Head.
