Good Tone for Dark Music

I bought the eyemaster and have run it in front of my tsl60, my mesa dc3, and my vengeance 120, and also for my bas in front of an ampeg pf500 and a tcelectronics bg250 toneprint … I have gotten very good results every time. It stacks well with other overdrives and distortions, I have run it with very good results behing a metal m*ff and it screamed, also a blues driver and even… read more with a six band eq/boost it has the black metal thing down perfect… it does far more than just old school, too, I am a fan of LiK and when I stack these pedals I can even get close to that sound. Highly recommended. For the money, you couldn't beat this with a baseball bat.

Another big surprise from TC

Once again underestimated TC Electronic big time. Grabbed my Eyemaster almost as a novelty because of the Entombed reference/aesthetic but as it turns out it sounds great. Not just great for the price either. Killer pedal. To my ear it's voiced right in the middle of the "Made in Japan" and the "Made in Taiwan" HM-2 sounds but with a little more scaleability on the volume than the… read more original has before losing its character. This pedal is a PERFECT, affordable way to add a useable "chain saw" sound to your arsenal or the ideal on stage stand-in for your expensive vintage Boss pedals.

SWEET SOUND OF MAYHEM!

This inexpensive metal pedal has serious attitude, especially if you tune down. I love it! In addition to using it by itself, I've also been combining it with preset sounds on my amp for that punch that makes everything else sound so good. I highly recommend this "For those about to rock!" See what I did there??

You're Using It Wrong

This pedal is amazing and it is inexpensive. Yes, it is a one-trick-pony but it does it so well. I think the people that say this pedal is noisy are using it wrong. The Eyemaster pedal is dead quite but you need to run this pedal into your clean channel. I used my Mesa Triple Rec and first ran the pedal into the Third Channel (Red) with the gain at about 11 o'clock. The result was… read more INSANE distortion and it was noisy. In addition, it lacked definition. I decided to run it into the clean (green) channel and that is when the magic happened. I kept everything at 12 o'clock including the gain and the result was instant Entombed with all the grind and definition in the notes. It was night and day. And on top of it the strings become touch sensitive so if you hit notes lightly there isn't as much gain but if you punch the strings you and dig in a bit you are sounding like The Left Hand Path. The tone is spot on and it is dead quiet. So DO NOT run this pedal into a high gain channel. The result is a mess. Want to sound like Entombed? Buy this pedal and run it into your clean channel and you will have Wolverine Blues at your fingertips. I can't recommend this pedal enough.
