Could anyone please tell me what they think the most aggressive/cutting/biting/etc/etc DAM pedal is? I already own a Meathead and a Titan (both of which are awesome) and I now want something with a sharper edge too. Cheers - Dave.

I don't own any more than a mkII, but when you say biting, it translates to me like treble, and the Red Rooster is a treble booster, among other things.

If you're looking for a fuzz that's going to cut through (that you can boost the treble/high mids) then my vote would be for the Drag'n'Fly I guess .. the Deluxe Meathead has a tone control and can do that too .. most of the D*A*Ms will to some extent but I find the Fly the most aggressive or biting.

How about the Red Rooster, the germanium powered treble booster? The Titan has a really sharp edge to it, unless you want to use it for one tone, and have something else to cover another tone.

Thanks for the info chaps. I was thinking of a rooster myself - missed out on the last lot though. Just have to keep my eyes peeled like everyone else.

Its pretty damn aggressive at full tilt and cuts like a mofo with the tone control rolled over to the treble side. I'd also suggest the Meathead but you already got that :D A good trick to get an aggressive tone is to run one fuzz into another, or even run a booster in the front end of a fuzz so it over saturates the tone rather than giving you volume boost. ~Dave

Cheers Cap. Ram Head sounds like another one to add to my list! I've already got a Homebrew Si/Ge treble booster and a Catalinbread booster which I mess around with quite a bit but I'm very much interested in a Rooster. Not sure if you're familiar with the pedals I mentioned but it sounds to me like your Rooster gives more tonal options - would I be correct in thinking this is the case?

Hey DF, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those pedals...sorry. The Roosters "Range" control is a little more flexible than say your standard hi-cut or lo-cut kinda tone control. With the Rooster you can boost your treble, bass and everything in between. ~Dave

The Red Rooster in combination with fuzz is a very good thing! As Dave has pointed out, the range control on them makes for one hell of a versatile pedal. There's sweet spots a plenty within that range control!

Well, looks like that's that sorted then. Next question - Who wants to sell me a Rooster then? What, no one? Thought as much - just have to get back in the queue.
