Quoted from Skyemont:

TH to me is one of the best games out there. I love it. I had league night last night and have some of the best pins out there. Four guys stayed until midnight playing "the hobbit". They all said it was the first time they could hear the sounds, understand the call outs, the pitch was set perfect, the flipper power was set high enough to make the ramps, etc. Not like at the shows..... They all walked away saying, just stunning. What a fantastic game. One guy in my league just traded his GB "stern fans" for the hobbit and loves it. Best decision he's made. Its just the kind of game that keeps you coming back to see how far the journey will go. Just my thoughts.. Ok, next person..

What is your pitch set at? What is your flipper strength setting?

Quoted from Metalzoic:

Mine was booming and bassy with factory settings out of the box.

Correct. If you leave the individual factory level's where they are & just turn up the volume, all is good. When you go into the settings & start upping the individual audio values is when the "clipping" & "popping" noise's come in.

I've owned this pin for over a month now, & it's a totally different pinball experience! No other pin on the planet plays or feels like this pin.
#1 attribute: It's a ton of fun to shoot!
#2 attribute: It draws in new people to pinball! Pinball newbs love it! I have a HEP AFM setting right next to it & it doesn't get played when non-pinhead's are over, they ALL play TH. LoL It appeals to non-pinhead's!
