Silicon vs. Germanium - Malekko B:ASSMASTER

[@Hambiscuits]

I dig the silicon more. The germanium is smoother but I like the fuzz style distortion of silicon. Awesome demo video!

[@a1bassman]

[@shayeasy]

was that a lightning bolt riff? ⚡️⚡️

[@sirchrisjaxon]

Probably didn't play it 100% accurately but YES

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

4:21 was that from a song of The Bravery?

[@sirchrisjaxon]

It sure was!

[@JS_bass]

I have the silicon one...but I think I prefer the germanium one...

[@sirchrisjaxon]

Both cool in their own way!

[@GizzyDillespee]

I don't even know which one I have, and I only used it with synths. Is that normal? I have to turn the damn things (synths) down and stick another pedal in between or it doesn't work right. I'll have to check the lights. I think it's the one on the left, but I like the one on the right better here.

[@sirchrisjaxon]

While it certainly isn't intended for synths, I can imagine it sounding pretty cool! these are very loud pedals, especially the silicon one on the left. So I can imagine something with a higher output like a synth being REALLY loud. Not a bad thing, just a thing. The lights are a good giveaway for which version you have, but you can always open it up and there should be a sticker that tells you on the inside of the back plate (you might also find a toy inside)
