Welcome to get up. I wasn’t your boss. According. They’re welcome to get off set. My name is Emily and I am here with the three month 14 by rude tech, which I just think is one of the funniest names. I like it a lot. It makes me happy, uh, based out of Nashville, Tennessee, this is as the name might give you a hint and it’s three loves in one.

We have the black green and the civil war Muff, but that’s not all we have. We have a tone control volume. Sustained. I’m gonna. Get the sustain a little bit lower for the start of the demo. Um, and there is this toner toggle. I’m going to start with that off. It says, um, the tacos, a tone bypass for us. So Cal kind of sounds what the manual says.

Um, and then it has this special second foot switch and, you know, some people. You know, don’t like the kind of scooped mid sound of, uh, MF style fuzzes. So they would add an overdrive pedal after that to kind of help boost those meds back up. This has that internally, along with it, trim pot to help you set that just the way you like it.

There are also some socketed components inside this pedal that I’m not going to mess around with, but you can change things out in this pedal. This might be the easiest pedal in the world to modify. Because Jesse from rude tech apparently thinks of everything. When I reach over here for my pick I’m playing, uh, well, firstly Jesse said this to me to demo.

So this is sponsored. This is harvested to me by fender and I’m playing it to the distributor of radium round B. Um, basically have everything kind of in the middle there. So about as flat as that amp can be. Uh, and here’s my, uh, claims.

People don’t people are like, you are know like five reps and that’s not true. I just like to play the same ones. For instance,

Not sticking around. We’re going to start in the black

Let’s see all that green Muff sounds. Okay.

civil war.

pretty similar.

they respond really differently. Kind of the thing. All right. Let’s create the system.

It’s just like, I didn’t like muffs.

Uh, uh, uh, very different characteristically speaking.

The tone control. Doesn’t really get you into any towns that I think are particularly gross. So it seems pretty well tuned to me. I’m going to keep it in the middle for the rest of the demo. I’m also going to reduce the gain or sorry, sustain back to the middle as well. Compensate our volume appropriately, and then we’ll get into the other tone controls.

All right. You ready?

there’s a lot more open. So

That’s really

I want to leave that. For, uh, I wanna leave that off while we mess with this Ms. Boost, I’m going to start with the meds boost. It’s harder to see. So I just, I’m going to start with it all the way to the left. That’s counter-clockwise

that means it’s off.

no say you may have to work a little bit to find that unity gain.

it really takes out the harshness. I really appreciate that.

I just, yeah, I almost feel, I almost feel like they are, um, less different just from playing that easy chord or whatever I was playing. I don’t remember. I know a court I was playing, uh, Call me a dummy. Um, I feel like I can hear less difference between the three types of Mazu muffs just from that cord. I think mugs is that from the Mike Adams episode.

Let me just adjust this. I am.

You’re playing with a really great base response. It’s you can tell when you’re I am that listen right.

it really does feel like very much response, but I can hear the difference when you play more than just like one note, obviously. But I think I’m also playing to the pedal a little. Now let’s try this, um, mids control with that tone toggle up of you back to the top.

Well, that is a three-month 14 and I’m, I’m impressed. I’m really impressed. Like that’s a lot of sounds in this little box and I know it retails for two 30. Um, it, oh my God. Like that’s tone controls, man. And they’re easy to use, like, Toggle in a foot switch. Like,

man, I obviously, no one’s going to believe me because I it’s, uh, Sponsored posts, but I really, really liked this. Did your ears like this? Also, I have a lot of fun with it. I, I really liked the civil war. I liked the black and the civil war voicings. The most. I liked the, the tone toggle up. I thought that added a lot of flexibility.

The midst thing was cool. I, I think I would appreciate that for like solos when. You need a little extra meds, but, um, that, that toggle that tone toggle really smart. And it’s modeled after like an old Russian, like a MIG fighter, I think is what it said. Serial number at the top. And, oh my, where did my screen go?

There you go. I’m still recording. Stop. Stop. I’m still going. I guess that’s, that’s a signal for me to shut the hell up and, uh, move on. Tell the people, uh, if you want to buy this, I reckon I always recommend buying. From small builders, personal websites.
