Aggressive Tone Shaping! Highwind Direwolf Overdrive

[@tyrannosaurusriffs]

Nice job sir! That Firefly sounds great! You did a great job showing off the Wolf.

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@tyrannosaurusriffs I am actively looking for one on the market. It has everything that all of my favorite ODs pedals have had in one package!

[@NickySayahSina]

Same, I love my Direwolf; currently it's at the top of my overdrive rotation.

[@crazy.scorpio]

Do you get much background hiss? I have one and I get a lot of his if I turn up the drive or tone much at all.

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

I get a little more of a noise floor if I use the brightest setting. Almost any drive pedal I get more hiss when the tone is up, but I have also been noticing the level of noise changes with different power sources and which pedal I stack in front of it. Buffered pedals seem to add some noise and I try to keep them at the end of my chain. This pedal isn’t as noisy as my fortin Blade, but it is a little more noisy than the SD-1 or TS9.

Which do you prefer, this or the king in yellow?

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@89MarkWright they are close in terms of tone and drive. Currently they would be my 1 and 2, but I might give the edge to the KIY mainly due to the unique ability to run a pedal into a parallel loop. The EQ on the KIY is very powerful, but the switching options on the Direwolf seem more suited toward someone who isn’t super into micro tweaking their pedals.

@BaritoneGoatStudio ill stick to my kiy for now then as the direwolf is quite pricey to get over in the uk but its good to know how they stack up to each other! Ive got a tonne of captures of the direwolf on my quad cortex to scratch the itch i guess! Thanks for the reply! Keep up the great work
