I hear ya brother!
This module exceeded my expectations in so many ways, and I had high expectations to begin with! LOL
LoD21 made a comment that I think sums it up well, it very "balanced". Between the switches and Freq knob you can completely contour and shape the sound of your distortion to be anything from scooped and buzzy, to thick and creamy and ALL of the variations sound GREAT!
For the better part of a year I was most partial to my Custom JF Recto that he totally tricked out and puched to the limit. I ran it up against other Rectos, a couple of Mamba SEs, a Gigmods Recto, a JF UltraLead and other assorted modules by various modders, as well as a few cherry stockers and my JF Custom Retco always seemed to edge the competition. In fairness my JF Custom Recto was deliberately tuned to my liking, so no wonder it always won
LOL
Then we started work on the Snakebite. There were a couple of things I had hoped to improve on from my Recto, but I had no idea that Rob would create a module that would address those few minor issues and upgrade things that I didn't even realize needed tweaking!
The Snakebite is a masterpiece of High Gain Brutality! It can go dry and percussive all the way to thick, saturated guitarmageddon
Truly a one of a kind in the world of MTS
I love my Snakebite!
Thanks again, Rob!
You nailed it on this one
