I have been using my Swart Atomic boost more often than my ODs lately and I was thinking of modding it to have the dark position become a bright position. But, before doing that I check Ebay for a DAM Red Rooster and guess what shows up? My old Red Rooster in starlight red that I sold a year ago! I check TGP as I recognize the seller since I just sold him a Mastery Jazzmaster bridge and it is $25 cheaper on TGP. It just arrived and it is even better with my current set up.

Stranger still is my name came up for a NEW Rooster about 12 hours earlier and paid for it right away since I had had a hard time finding one! David Main said the new ones have more gain and hair, so it will be interesting to see who wins. I still love the Swart as it has a juicer sound with the OC44, but it is hard to beat the versatility of the Rooster. :pedallove

I have wanted to try the BJFE RRB for years, but am always a little late to the sale. I have the Ruby Red at the end of my chain which I use with the Master cranked, Treble around 11 and Boost around 3. It sounds great into my SST-30 because the tone is so dense (think MH v1 with the drive half way up).

The Treble Boosters like the Swart Atomic Boost and the D*A*M Red Rooster so something different than the MP Ruby Red in that they purposely color the tone. The Swart is a bit of a one trick pony, but boy is it a fantastic trick! The DAM is more adjustable, but always seems a bit too clear. David Main said the new Roosters are a little grittier with more gain. We shall see in a few weeks.

I am glad to the the old bird back as it works much better into my Swarts than into my Victoria 20112 which tended to get too bright when the guitar volume was turned down.
