Well at long last my MHvT arrived today. The USPS decided to give it a test run before letting me have it back, I guess. I'll be sure to take some time in the next week or so to give it a whirl and post my thoughts :pedallove :music :sign_rockon :sign_partytime

just a quick question...does the newest HT have the two points to short the cap and make it a V1? Thought I read somewhere about this.

I haven't had too much time with the pedal yet but just gave some extreme setting a go...

Looking for high-gain-amp-about-to-explode tone? Try Gain, Tone and Trim Full Clockwise and volume to taste. Holllly crap! :thumbup: :music

I'm really loving mine. I combine it with the SYOD or HB or whatnot. It sounds just really nice and thick overdrive. I haven't really used the trimmer yet but pretty much love the pedal as is. Very Very smooth. Its incredible to see the difference from the first donnerbox versions that I used to own to this one. Such a change. Love mine. It gives me a set of tones I cant get from any other combination of BJFs i've tried. Very thick and nice OD with a good amount of gain on tap.

This is a bit weird, but one of my favorite stacks has become MH > MHvT! I have the MH at 12V and the vT at 9 V. THe MH is a bit above unity volume and the Drive is between 7 and 9 o'clock. The MHvT is also just above unity volume and the Drive is around 10 - 11. Tone knob is at noon on both pedals.

Which trimmer are you using? The first or the brighter one?

Any word on when/if these will be available for the masses? I know many of us would still love to get our hands on this pedal.

FYI my review comments will be posted soon -- I already sent a draft version of them via PM to a fellow forumite but forgot to copy to sent folder :banghead so when he responds I'll grab my comments and reformat/revise for reference here.

Now we play the waiting game :coffeenews

Not weird at all - they have different and complimentary EQs, so one fills in where the other is scooped - there is filling without choking and individually they cut in different places - makes great sense to use them this way ---- the SYs and the DRD do a similar dance :wink:
