CLANG - Based on the Driving Notion - That's a wrap!

[coldbrightsunlight]

I left the flat for 45 minutes today, and when did they try to deliver the Clang?

deliver the Clang?

I spent a little time with it and at first I was worried that there was some weird clipping distortion happening but then I realized I just had the output too high and it was affecting pedals downstream. This thing is loud.
After playing for a while, my ears were very fatigued. All the other gain pedals I had set to taste sounded muffled and dull. The high is no joke.
It's a delight.

Glad ya dig it! Yeah, 9'oclock is around unity if you dial everything up a bit. It's easy to forget just how loud it is until you go to bypass.

So puuuuurdy!



Now I shall lock myself in a room and explore.

Finally picked mine up from the post office today!

Had a quick try but not properly as it's still not 9am and I have work to do. First impression is that it really sounds like how I remember, except the switch in the middle position seems way cleaner than I remember it getting even with max input and lows/highs. All the great dirty sounds (and more than what the og did) are on the other switch positions though so not a complaint at all. Sounds great and happy that the switch seems to give more versatility than the original circuit.

Thanks Ian and digi2t for bringing this to the people I'd also like to shout out just how great the colour finish looks in person. Amazing!

After some exploration, I have mine always on at the end of the chain now. Toggle in the middle position, low input, mix at noon and low+high at 11, output to taste. It just makes everything more brilliant and sparkley with a bit of bite. It's great!

That's a cool use. I only played for 5 minutes as I said but I did really like some of the suuuper low gain sounds that were really just adding EQ and a tiny bit of bite (I just realised I said exactly what you said ). I never used my Driving Notion for this I always had it dirty, but I could see myself using this more as a tone shaper sometimes for sure.

aaaargh. all those reviews and i have to wait another month to get mine ( i asked Ian to delay the shipping of my unit to august).
i want it mainly for low gain sounds so i'm happy to hear it works well for that, never thought of placing it at the end of the chain, but now i definitely want to try setting it up that way

I got my CLANG and all I can say is DANG what a fun pedal. Lots of nice tones, sparkle, awesome blown out lows and of course, clangs in the highs. At one point, I heard a little extra "modulation" in the sound and was digging it and I realized I had picked up a radio station of some sort faintly. I hope it always does that.

Cheers to Ian, super fast shipping, awesome run of pedals and doing things smoothly - period.

Got mine today and holy shit I don't think I can ever turn it off again. Everything sounds so dull and muddy when you turn it off. The stock setting sounds just like I remember the DN sounding, and the thick toggle was a really nice addition. I hit it really hard with some stuff and got some nice synthy fuzz tones, and then ran it into some other stuff and got the scrapey metallic thing that I love so much about the OG DN. Really amazing work.

welcome back to the gang brother

Clang is in Arlanda! Now we only wait 2 months

[coldbrightsunlight]

'tis the way

[neonblack]

This is my new clean tone.

I'll record some shit later and post here! Got some real interesting sounds with very few pedlz

Today the CLANG meets my fretless - super excited to hear what can be fine with this combo today. (There will be a Megalith involved too since I just got one again)
