this isn't really a signature jack white guitar pedal... is it?
not saying you've said so, but i've gotten the impression that people view it as so from a lot of posts I've read about this.
I mean he is inevitably associating himself with it, but all I see is a version of the union tube and transistor buzz bomb custom made for third man.
the pedal is specifically in the vein of an octavia, which in most cases has only volume and gain controls. two things that are pre set on the TMR bumble buzz.
presuming that there aren't trim pots inside allowing you to control different aspects of the sound, the idea of pre set "stage level gain/volume" has proven to be popular enough with guitarists that there are a few other knobless fuzzes on the market already. plus this pedal might be reactive with the guitars volume knob, which would make the lack of a gain knob somewhat obsolete
in fact, quoted from thegeapage and regarding the buzz bomb which is the same pedal as the bumble buzz
I was experimenting for an hour the other day with just how my volume knob effects it. Every sound was good and usable, unlike many pedals out there where you have to work to get a good sound from it.
I mean I'm still not going to buy this, but i see nothing wrong with this venture into pedals.
plus i don't think having the TMR bumble buzz, whammy, or big muff has anything to do with whether or not someone sounds original or like they're emulating another guitarist when they pick up an instrument.
