Both pedals have two footswitches--one for effect on/off, and one to toggle the octave up. Both pedals also have a pushbutton to run the sub octave into the fuzz. Here is where they differ: on the Slash, you only get the fuzz effect when this button is engaged (otherwise, you just get the sub octave clean). With the Sub Machine, the button switches from running sub octave and fuzz in serial or in parallel. As I mentioned, with the Sub Machine, even with the push button in the up (parallel) position and the sub and up octaves off, you still get fuzz. This is what may be the dealbreaker for some people. But the Slash does have its own thing going on, and it's definitely the more agressive of the two. The one good thing about the Slash is that you can get the sub octave effect without fuzz, which is good if you just want clean sub or plan to get your dirt elsewhere (another pedal or your amp). Bottom line: If you're looking for a great fuzz with up or down octave capabilities, you really can't go wrong with either pedal. I would recommend either one. P.S. I'm not particularly a fan of Slash or GnR, but that's not what drew me to this pedal. It was the feature set and a few postive reviews I read. Originally I was just looking for an analog octave pedal, but this pedal intrigued me. (This message was last edited by Paul L at 08:14 PM, Feb 11th, 2015) | |

Straight fuzz can be had on the Slash with the pedal engaged , the sub into fuzz engaged and the sub octave knob wound fully CCW, in other words the sub octave is completely removed from the signal. One thing I found interesting is the octave up can be used without fuzz with the left foot switch not engaged and the right up footswitch engaged. The only control that functions when set-up like this is is the octave up knob. This setting is great for experimenting with both pre and post OD/distortion pedals or directly into a distorted amp. As Paul L mention above you can get a clean sub octave as well. This is one extremely flexible pedal and it sounds way better than the majority of internet demos. Even though it's touted as being capable of thick shaggy '70s fuzz in the manual I don't think it gets as woolly or thick as the la machine (I'm yet to do a side by side comparison) but I believe (from listening to internet demos) it is a good compliment to both the la machine and sub machine. Same as Paul L, I didn't purchase it because of the Slash thing but because of the combination of features. I considered for a good while what I really wanted and am really happy with it. | |

Much like a good swig of apple cider vinegar, it is, however, a fairly potent flavor of fuzz that seems to play very differently with different amps and guitars. I'd suggest trying before you buy. | |

You are correct that the la machine reacts to different pups and amps. It is a fun pedal and is enjoyable to experiment with. In comparison the Slash has an edgier tone to it, sounds more mid rangey, and doesn't get quite as woolly. |
