JF Mr. Scary (SLO-100). New discovery.

Flipping the bright switch to the left (lower gain) really rocks with a boost or for mid gain. I suggest trying it out if you have been stuck on the high gain bliss that happens with the switch to the right.

I unloaded a couple modules that were not loaded up in the RM100 as much and realized I had all 3 that were left set up for high gain. I remembered that the bright switch is now a OD/Crunch swith (or something like that anyway) and flipped it to the left. Great mid gains and with a boost, awsome 80's tones.

I have had this mod for years. Stock, JF Scary, and then updated to the SLO-100. Rob has come a long way and consistently better in my opinion. If you have one, tweak it a bit with the switch to the left. Really cool.

Thank you for the kind words and that's a big part of how I approach life: I try to get better at something every single day.

The lower gain sides of many modules get overlooked often and I hear this kind of feedback in conversations more than you would think. I personally often live on the lower side of the switches myself and there is always more if I need it. I think learning to work with less gain has helped me improve both technique and theory-wise. I use far less power chords these days in favor of complex chords and odd inversions, both of which sound better with less saturation.

Lower gain for heavier sound is one of my favorite topics.
