T-Rex Mudhoney

Danish handmade quality dirt pedal - overdrive/distortion!

Delivers excellent for classic rock sounds. Very versatile: goes from mild dirt to those "meaty" rock sounds and to even fuzz-territory boost encaged. An true allrounder what comes to sounds. Good tone control-range.

Beautiful and looks like a delicious piece of candy :). Excellent craftsmanship as one could expect from an Danish handmade pedal.

Only downsides are lack of separate foot switch for boost-mode and the enclosure is on "bigger" size, but this is "a classic form" and connectors in top side helps it to fit into pedalboard.

This could be the only dirt pedal You need ever own.
Highly recommended!

I bought the Mudhoney Danish Collection a while ago here at Thomann's. Hand built by T-Rex in Denmark!
It's a great pedal but you have to be aware that not all T-Rex Mudhoney Danish collection pedals are created equal!
Mine is hand built (apart from the wave soldering mentioned in the manual) in Denmark with some more superior parts (WIMA capacitors and such).
For collectors this can be important. The currently available version is assembled in...........CHINA!
Does this make it a bad product? Well no not really, the design is the same and it still is great, certainly for the price it's going for but i find it a somewhat sneaky approach from T-Rex.
I know this because a friend of mine recently bought one and we got unpleasantly surprised learning about the difference.
The country where it's made is on the sticker at the back and the text "Hand built by T-Rex Engineering Denmark" was missing on the top.

This has been on my board since it arrived, and it's not going anywhere soon.

I tend to run the pedal with the boost switch engaged, and the gain at about 10 o'clock. That gives a thick but clear overdrive, with a decent amount of touch sensitivity and clarity at the top end. It's great as a rhythm sound, and works well with both humbuckers and single coils. I love it for playing pop-punk stuff like Ash.

Rolling back the guitar volume, it doesn't clean up quite as well as some other pedals, but can still yield a slightly softer tone when that's called for.

Powering it at 12V gives a touch more body, which works well with my set-up.

Turning the gain knob higher yields a fuzzy tone which I think would work well for leads (it's a bit muddy for rhythm IMO) - but I have other pedals which I prefer for that usage.

It's got an absolute ton of output - even more so when powered at the higher voltage. I usually set the level knob at about 9 o'clock which is still above unity output!

The build quality is absolutely rock solid - this think is built like a tank. And the colour looks nice on my board :)
