Topic: Django and the Way Huge Pork Loin

I've been working on this song on and off for some time but I could never get the tone right.  Recently I picked up a Way Huge Pork Loin to add to my pedal board purely because I know Joe uses one.  I had no clue how to set it up so I set all of the dials straight up at 12 oclock.  Wow what a nice pedal.  With the volumn around 5 on my 58 reissue the tone was the best I've ever heard come out of my setup.  When I rolled the volumn up to 7 and 8 on both pickups in the middle position the tone matched Django for the first time.  What a great pedal.

My question is this does anyone know if Joe has a favorite setting for this pedal like he does for the Boss DD3 delay?  Is ther any documentation on what pedals Joe uses on different songs parts?  I think it would be interesting to know if he ever uses the TS808 and Pork Loin at the same time or are they always independant.  Chasing tone sure is fun but man can it get expensive.

Thanks

Best regards

Re: Django and the Way Huge Pork Loin

I think that was posted somewhere and the settings were something like vol 1, tone 11, drive 11, small ones at 12. All clock refs.
I find myself always gravitating around 12s as well. It is more or less where designers of the effects put their effort for it to sound best (is my assumption).
Pork loin is a great drive btw.

12 o'clock is where I'd start with any pedal apart from volume which I start at setting so it sounds neutral in relation to pedal off.

Glad to hear you are enjoying your purchase!

These settings were for BCC tones.

How cool is that smile thanks DamZet for the clarification!
Vol, tone, curve 11, drive at 1, clean cranked for those unable to open the image, like I was on my phone (weird hmm).

Now that's cool. So Joe marked the settings as well!
