PastFX Mischief

[metropolis_4]

Has anyone tried one?

I’m looking for a RAT and I love my Rattler but I keep wishing it had a little more low end with my Strat. I’m wondering if the Mischief might give me that.

The only PastFX pedal I’ve tried was the Chorus Ensemble, but it was so amazing it makes me want to check out more of their stuff

It’s on my list due to the 80’s Gilmour tones it was essentially aimed at. Verle seems to do a pretty great job at taking an old pedal, recreating it to sound the same and then adding one additional feature that resolves an issue the OG’s had, like the Mid knobs with the Big Muff and Tube Driver variants.

If ya don’t like it, I’ll buy it off ya!

I’m hoping you both love it and hate it!

I got it today! It’s a really really great RAT and the settings and modes make it incredibly versatile to dial in any RAT flavor you want.

Jury is still out on whether it’s the right pedal for me. I’m starting to question if a RAT is really what I’m looking for. They’re slightly too loose and fuzz-like in the low end for my taste. Especially as the gain goes up.

Edit: scratch that. Klone stacked in front of it is brilliant! Bumps the mids and tightens it up perfectly.

If the Klone doesn't work for a particular rig, try a TS based pedal (SD-1, TS9/808/10/7/5, Maxon, etc).

Might need to check this one out.

Every once in a while my old 90s big box reissue finds its way onto my board and I’m reminded how awesome it is.

There are some awesome edge of breakup tones with the drive dialed way back. Conversely there are cool fuzzy textures all the way at the end of the dial.
