So I haven't tried any new modules lately and was on the classifieds and saw that Corium had a Chiefton for sale at a nice price. So I figured "What the hell" and picked it up. It is one of JF's new models.
WOW! What a refreshing difference from all of my other mods, and I must admit that I have plenty.....
Similar to the Voxless but much more versatile. First of all it is a hell of a lot louder than the Voxless. I always struggled with balancing the Voxless with my other mods, but the Chiefton is way louder. Instead of the mid switch it has a regular mid knob. On a lot of mods I am hesitant to turn the mids up b/c they can get kind of honky. Not on the Chiefton. It can be cranked and it tends to warm it up and add a nice gain. The mod also has a lot of bottom end. Even with the bass knob all the way down it still has bottom. With the eq set at 12:00 it is a really clean Vox-y sounding mod with that classic chime to it....think British Invasion. Turn the gain up and it has a nice break up ala' John Scofield. However if you then crank the mids up, it smooths out the gain and can get sort of Marshall-y. There is s similarity in a lot of my mods. I have three that are totally unique to me:Rob's Dumble clone, Salvation's buddy and now the Chiefton. Totally a cool mod!
