T-Rex Mudhoney

I'm going blind with no manual so it's alot of tweaking...but SOOOO much fun!

I literally played it for five seconds and unplugged and purchase it. the sound of this pedal is so odd in great ways. on my setup (small semi-hollow to a Gibby-amp)I can feel my tone burning "in flames" (good band too). I actually run a low volume clean channel simultaneously which IMO tightens the pedal overall. I actually hate fuzz effects and still do. what is odd is that with high output pickups the fuzz to me is unbearable but i use mini-humbuckers and seudo-P-90's for my tone and makes them sound SO THICK!!! to be critical there are positions on the fretboard that it doesn't do well; like on the low E power chords in the 12th position can't taste the honey in the mud.

we'll see

N/A bought it used

I have never looked at T-Rex becuase of there high prices. After looking at all the distortion pedals this boutique store had nothing seemed to wow me; distortion pedals do NOT do well in Gibson amps! My friend brought me this and it was Amazing! I was trying to find a tasteful church tone distortion which sounds like an oxymoron. I have it set to a sort of stadium rock DOD setting that is full and clear. this pedal won't give you that chunky metal tone which i love but my gigs don't call for it. Its not prefect but than again only God is....

Extremely easy set up - just take it out of the box, plug it in, and twiddle with the 3 controls to get your preferred sound out of it.

First played this using a Strat plugged into a Mesa Boogie MkII. I normally love a 'clean' Strat sound, so I only wanted a subtle overdrive tone. This pedal gives you good scope to still get a variety of great sounds whilst still keeping the overall 'fuzz' at low levels. Hitting the 'Boost' switch of course will give you a really fat sound if you are after that.

This unit replaces my faithful old Boss DS-1, which is really a 'toy' pedal when put up against the sound quality of the Mudhoney.

It's only a week old, and I haven't gigged with it as yet, but it looks like it could take a few knocks. I am generally fairly carefuly with my gear - the abovementioned Boss DS-1 I have had for about 25 years and I think the Mudhoney would last the same distance.

Haven't had to deal with them, but from other reports on this site, they are quite responsive.

I play mainly Rock 'n' Roll and Blues. My main guitar is an Ibanez Artist, but I also occasionally play a Les Paul or a Strat. I haven't yet tried this pedal with the Ibanez, but I cannot wait to do so very soon.

I love the natural clean tone of my Mesa Boogie MkII, but when I play a Santana number and I want that warm, fuzzy tone, this pedal can deliver it. I have also experimented with a few AC/DC riffs, and this pedal comes close, and I will probably need to play with it a bit more to achieve that 'angry' crunch tone.

Overall, if you are looking for a rich overdrive tone, I think this pedal fits the bill.

1. Easy to get really great, sweet, versatile sound.

2. Manual is small but perfectly adequate.

1. Running through an all valve Laney LC-50II / Fender Stratocaster HSS USA Deluxe / Rickenbacker 330.

2. No unwanted noise. I have not run it at a very high level yet.

3. Influences, Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hendrix, REM, Oasis, Paul Weller etc. This pedal is perfect for these sorts of sounds.

The whole pedal is good, no really bad sounds

Yes, although I haven't tried it at a gig yet.

I have been playing guitar for 29 years and have tried a lot of equipment. In my oppinion it is better to have one pedal that sounds great mixed with the natural valve sounds of the amp.

If lost or stolen I would definitely buy another

I compared to boss, and quite a few other pedals, but this is the one that gave me all I wanted.

I wish it had a footswitch for the higher gain and a true natural bypass when switched off.

Very easy to use.

Just 'caus ethe pedal is easy to use doesn't mean I like the sound. I've tried long and hard to fall in love with the Mudhoney, but the sound is just to middly for me. It really sounds exactly like a boosted tubescreamer. There is very little bass to the sound, and the top end goes from dark to ice picky too easily. Maybe the fault is mine for buying the wrong product, but I want something more transparent.

Built extremely well

The website is very good.

I bought this pedal for my second pedal board. I wanted to replace the Toadworks Death Rattle on that board, which I use in conjunction with my Keeley BD2. On my main board are an OCD, a Reezafratzitz and an original TS808. I've also gone through a V Twin, a Box of Rock, a Guyatone tube driven overdrive and a MIJ DS1 in my time.

I will admit that you can get a nice low gain, warm sound from the Mudhoney, and also a great fat fuzzy tone at high gain. What I'm failing to get out of it are any transparent Marshally tones in the mid ground without that real mid hump.

Sorry - I stil love T Rex as a company and product line, but this pedal is not for me.

It's totally easy to get a good sound.

I've been searching for a good distortion for a long time and have been let down ALOT (im very picky)until i got this pedal.
It didnt sounds like cheesy processed metal distortion. It wasnt mushy and break apart when you played chords. It has bass behind it and still can cut through. Its a good all around distortion
No noise, exept when the pedal is off you can hear faint distortion sounds behind the clean sounds of the guitar, it's not loud.

sure

Its' great. You have to try it

Very easy, sounds always great...

Man, this is the only pedal that gives me everything!!

I play in hardrock band, in a funk band and some heavy stonnerrock/doom violence and a gig or rehearsal is never the same without this pedal.
I play on a strat and a modded Ibanez and plug them in a fender bassman silverface70. But also on an cheaper crate or marshall valvestate this thing brings me satisfaction!!

You can use this as a heavy distortion pedal, but also as a tubescreamer and it's never noisy.

i'm sure this thing is very solid. Scandinavian quality you know.

My best buy ever.

Let me start by saying that I'm a foot pedal virgin, this is my first one. I checked out reviews and sound fragments for weeks on the internet and narrowed my choice down to about 4 different foot pedals before choosing this one, mainly because this is the one they had in the shop and also the other ones on my list (Zvex - box of rock, Damage control - womanizer, Robert Keeley - Fuzz head) were much more expensive, this was 150 euro's, the next on the list, the Fuzz head was 200. The Mudhoney is very easy to get good sounds from, as long as you remember why you bought this pedal in the first place and don't complain afterwards "It's not producing the sound I want". I mean, how hard can something be with three knobs and a boost button.

My setup: I have an Ibanez ART500 (no reviews of this guitar yet, I'll try and write one) and a VOX AC15CC1 (whafedale speaker), that's it, nothing has been modified. The mudhoney is noiseless for me. The VOX only omits a very very low hum and adding the mudhoney adds no extra noise whatsoever.
The sound is glorious, it's every bit the same as how you think the name Mudhoney should sound, thick, creamy but smooooooth, with gain turned to zero it adds a tiny bit of grit to the VOX sound, at three "I've got those blues", especially the neck pickup. At 12 and full on gain you get from nice 70's rock to AC/DC and more.
Onto the boost, this is Fuzz territory and also sounds great. The VOX maintains it's string clarity even through the fuzz. Remember what I said earlier, don't forget why you bought this pedal, if you want a fuzz pedal get a good fuzz pedal, but if you can live with the great fuzz that this has then you get blues/rock/fuzz in 1 pedal.
I can't really get the sound of my favourite artist with this but then I can't even play stuff from my favourite artist, anyway that's not why I bought it. I bought it for blues and rock and the Mudhoney as our american friends quite rightly say, kicks ***.

Well, for two days it's been extremely reliable.

I only started playing guitar in January 2008, practice pretty much everyday for at least 2 hours after work and try and play any type of music that comes my way, depending on my mood and the 'homework' I get from my teacher. This pedal is a great purchase adding much needed distortion to the VOX without having to turn the VOX up to neighbour maddening loudness. If stolen or lost I'd probably try and buy something else because I like change not because this is a bad pedal.

Overall it's a very sexy looking pedal, lovely colour, smooth turning chicken head knobs and glorious sound. If there was one thing I think I would prefer on this pedal is that the boost was built into stomp button just like the on and off button but this is because I only play at home. I can imagine if gigging, that whilst banging away on stage you don't want to have the added difficulty of having to choose the correct button, you just want to to whack your foot down, so my wanting an extra button is not a criticism, just something I'd like to save me having to bend down.

Gain, tone, level, and a boost switch. I really dig the stomp switch on it. It's solid, and it switches on and off smoother. Plastic battery door. It's nearly impossible to dial a bad sound out of this. Very easy to get the sound you want.

I wish they'd change the boost switch to another stomp switch. Makes sense, right, T-Rex?

I run a Strat and an LP into a Fender and Laney tube amps. I'm in a poppy bluesy rock type of band, and this pedal is fantastic. I've been using a Keeley modified Sparkle Drive. As far as tube screamers go, there was nothing better than the Sparkle Drive for me. However, like many Screamers, it had that exaggerated mid hump. I do love the screamer hump, but I wanted an OD pedal that is more rounded. Mudhoney does just that. Well, and much more. The boost button can be interesting. I dig how it changes the characteristic a little bit, and love the fuzziness to the sound with it on. However, this is not a fuzz pedal. You can get a nice fuzzy od/distortion sound out of it, but don't expect a great fuzz tone, 'cause this is not a fuzz pedal. My favorite sound is Gain on 9 o'clock, level at 12 o'clock, tone on 2 o'clock, and with boost on. That gives me a VERY juicy tone for both the strat and the LP. That gives me a nice jazzy tone with slight OD, that's ready to ROAR with hard picking. I'm not ready to toss out the Sparkle Drive just yet, but I can see this pedal is going to get a whole lot more use. Bass response is amazing!

I'd still bring my Sparkle Drive as a back up, but it seems solid.

Dude's in Denmark. Looks well made, though a little lighter than other pedals I own.

For blues, jazz, and poppy rock, this is it. I really like the transparency of this pedal, and how sensitive it is to your right hand. If you have a tube amp, and run this in front of it, it's just a bliss. I love the bass response, and clarity throughout the entire bandwidth. I love how broad the tone is compared to the tube screamer type pedals. I've only owned this pedal for about 12 hours, and I've already discovered so many different sounds out of it, and I can't wait to explore even more. If a pedal can inspire you write, I'm all for it.

JUST

GO

AND

BUY

ONE OF THESE PEDALS.

YOU WILL NEVER, I MEAN NEVER REGRET IT.

IT IS THE BEST SOUND I HAVE EVER HAD.

DAVE

3 knobs for Level,Gain and Tone.

Fender Telecaster custom '72---->Mxr blue box--->T-Rex Mudhoney--->Maxon ad999 Delay--->Electro Harmonix small clone--->E-H Holy stain--->E-H Flanger hoax--->Vox ac30 top boost
I replaced a sovtek vintage big muff with the Mudhoney.It is huge,big and fuzzy like the muff(in the boost mode with a lot of gain)but it has a better sound quality,every note is clear and come out trough the wall of sound...simply spectacular!
I owned a lot of distortion pedals(rats,muffs,boss...)but the T-rex is the best in every way!I use it in the fuzz mode...sustain lasts forever(more than a big muff)it is rich and creamy and it has a cool yellow led.

built like a tank!it comes with a warranty of two years!

never dealt with them.

I play in a rock alternative band(grunge,noise,psychedelic) and for my style it is perfect.for lead it's the best pedal i've ever used.for chords it is a must(huge and clear).
Mudhoney is a muffish pedal(but better than a big muff)and much more:a warm overdrive,a crunchy distortion and a big fuzz.
try it!
