I'll probably just go ahead and buy that now.

well if you do Bezo ...... you'll have to make a decision ...... because the Bass switch is gone now .... I can still do a bass version ... the input cap just won't be switchable anymore

but there will be a buffer on and off switch ..... a clipping switch ( stock germaniums or LED's ) two rotary knobs that will control the clipping bandwidth part of the signal and I took the treble mod switch and put 7 more choices for it on the other rotary .... the clean and gain controls will still be separate still

That's fine. Really the switch is only if I change instruments. Once it's on the board, I'm not flipping the switch. I'd rather just order a bass version. Just make it a different color or something.

Maybe just make it a Version IIIb++ model.

The Chiron Deluxe is the reason my opinion of this pedal changed.

I got it working when I got my Psycho Simian version. I set it up as a transparent clean boost. It passed the test with no noise or color. I set it up with a light crunch, and it was great. I added some top end to use as a lead boost, and I loved it. I even went full tilt and used it to crunch the clean channel, and it had the juice to boost. I really liked it until I put it up against my Echoplex Preamp/Bias pedal. I just prefer the Echoplex boost. It's just preference though. The pedal is still good. I'll try it on bass.

I took it to the 8x10s and tried it out through my rig. I also came into an MXR Thump bass preamp to try out, and so I shot both out with the Chiron Deluxe. I got the boost and punch out of the Monkey with little effort. I dialed in a bigger bass and got it right where I want it, and it passed the test. The Chiron Deluxe just smoked it though. The low end saturation with the bass switch engaged is something special on that pedal that didn't girth up the same with the Monkey circuit. The Thump got me some nice warm character with great tone shaping, but no grit. I didn't get gain out of the pedal, just volume. It failed my test. The Chiron Deluxe is still the champion.

I was kinda bummed that my Monkey pedal lost all its matches. I really like it. I was starting to sour on it when I realized something: I just compared a Digitech Bad Monkey to a Klon Centaur. No shit the Chiron Deluxe is the winner! Apples to apples, the Psycho Simian pedal is the best version of ths Digitech Bad Monkey that exists. But, ummm... yeah. Klon.

I'll probably get a Chiron too down the road to replace the MXR Sugar Drive *_*

Was looking at a DM2W but given the quality of this stuff if I can get something similar with Griff...... And most likely better.


Its a no brainer. May still go DM2W but his stuff is fucking great and will definitely consider a chorus and other ODs too. An SD1 variant is calling my name too *_*

Honestly may spring on a DimeBag Wah Clone by Griff with maybe some extra tiny added features after something like this...... I'm sure he can make it after something like this.


Yeah that would be worth it and totally on my short list *_*


His stuff is just that much better than even the best stuff of average and it's worth it IMO aside from the great price and the great value here nvm the above average and above and beyond quality of these builds and his pedals.

DM2W ??? Dimebag Wah ??

again .... I would really appreciate it if you could give me the location of the dispensary you go to ...

here I am thinking I'm living large with my Chocolate OG @ 35.6 % .......... but I think you might be in a different Universe

Check it out...... This feels amazing and well made. The knobs feel sturdy yet smooth and it just feels and looks amazing before I even plug it in.


Custom color choice and LED too as well as custom graphics.

Putting it through it's paces will be fun *_*
