    Ok, Tonefactor’s clip gives a good demo of what this pedal can do. Though, in person, there are more highs.

    So far, I have only used my Strat and AC15. I a/b’ed it with my NYC Muff and they are the same.

    EHX has done a pretty good job in describing what the two features are:

    Taking the tone knob out of the pathway, really gives it some bite. I compare it to, putting a clean boost after my NYC Muff.

    When the Wicker is turned on, while the tone knob is functioning, adds more highs. If you have your tone knob set high, there is some background noise. You get some hissing, when not playing. I compare this with, running a treble boost into my NYC Muff.

    When the Wicker is turned on and the Tone is taken out, you get that raw, crunchy distortion/fuzz(depending where the sustain knob is set). Once again, you get background noise. It is more pronounced than before.

    This is not a negative review in any way. I don’t know of any distortion/fuzz pedal that is not noisy, when the treble and distortion are set high. If you like the NYC Big Muff, then you will love this pedal. Does everything, plus more. If you are in the market for a Big Muff, definitely get the Big Muff w/ Tone Wicker.

    My only negative comment is this. I do not like where the two switches are located. When I go to turn the pedal on or off, I worry about hitting the toggle switches. I know it is a tiny case, but I think they should have put the switches elsewhere. Maybe even used stomp switches over toggle switches.

    I would give it a 4 out of a 5.

    I still need to play it some more though. I’ll try different guitars and amps. We’ll see how, what I just wrote, holds up.

    The Tone Wicker…. You can call her a “White Russian”. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. ‘

    This pedal is really ssttling in now. I’ve been running an OCD or FD2 after the BMw/TW. These two pedals stack very well with it.

    I’ve been getting a monsterous tone with my LP Jr w/P-90 —> BNw/TW —> OCD —> AC15. Reminds me of a Hendrix boot I have, where his amp sounds like its going to explode.

    I really like my BMPTW. At first I didn’t really like to turn the tone off, but you can get some really heavy sounds out of it. The wicker is ok, I guess it could be good for some soloing, but I think it thins my tone down, so I normally solo without it. It would be handy for stuff like the lead part in “White Wedding”. At first, I only played with the sustain maxed, but there’s alot of other sweet sounds to be found by rolling that baby back. I’m surprised at how drastically the sustain affects the tone and vice versa. Overall, it’s a great pedal. My only complaint is that after I shoved it in a duffle bag to take to a gig, it emerged with some scratches on the stickers and a green spot where it collided with my ts9. The actual pedal casing seems durable enough, though.
