    What were they thinking with the horrible "1-12+1-4=16" step labels on the sequencer? This seems like a huge fail compared to the original. Somebody agould sell decal retrofits ro fix it. What were they thinking with with the horrible visual gaps and assymetric breaks in the dark grey sub-sections around the sequencer ? The original's "scoring" patterns are so much more useful. Is this an IP fiddle? Regarding the seeming inversion of Enhanced mode versus Authentic mode sound (relative to the TR) this seems like a clever amd correct choice by a PM or lawyer. The RD line an enhanced version not authentic replica of the TR.

    @swanofnutella4734 8 дней назад

    Thank you. I want a pedal that's close to the stock TD-3 onboard distortion for my TD-3 MO. The MO's overdrive and FM are great, but sometimes I'm left 'missing' the trashiness of the stock TD-3 distortion. I think it will be cool to combine all 3 break-up sources. I've gone ahead and ordered both a "Heavy Distortion" and "Heavy Metal" pedal. Aside from my TD-3 shenanigans, it will also be nice to be able to break out with some on-point Entombed and Dismember riffs. ;)

    Does sound kind of 303 but with limitations, the part when you put distorsion on it and just before it sounds crappy. But if not pushed to the limits it sounds quite good though. Very nice tutorial and good explaining of digging deeper in that machine! I am discovering it and that is helpful for me.
