lost highway Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It sounds awesome. Too bad it's almost 300 bones! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I didn't realize there was a shortage of distortion pedals and an overabundance of overdrive pedals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yeah, I think more people find overdrive pedals more handy, but there's a tool for everything, and really the difference between overdrive and distortion is kind of academic. Really it's a progression with most pedals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 It sounds awesome. Too bad it's almost 300 bones!I hear 'ya, but, since I already ordered one, my rationalization goes thusly... 1) Loved the old RAT distortion pedal & still have it decades later... if these are well made, then paying more $ divided by the number of years you'll have this (a lifetime) doesn't amount to much... 2) You should always trust your own ears & Spidey sense on stuff like this...but, seeing as I'm not up for spending the day going pedal to pedal to pedal with comparisons... then I can say that there's guitarists who playing & sounds I love up there with Nels (Jeff Tweedy included) but no one I love more...and, no one I trust more as far as being deeply involved in the pedal world & in sonic sculpture, including noise sculpting... he plays guitar a lot & then he also plays electric signals like a wizard... If Nels was in on the creation of this, then, in short, that's good enuff fer me! 3) It's hand-made by a small boutique company & it's aesthetics are all incredibly cool, on many & every level(s)...

davidtobin100 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I'm still on the fence. It's $340 including shipping for me. I'm a bit slow to drop that much on a distortion pedal. You can't totally judge tone via crappy YouTube audio but it did seem like a nice pedal but definitely overpriced for what it is. I do have quite a few top end pedals on my own gigging board (Strymon Timeline probably being the most expensive) but I know if I do end up buying this it's for the name printed on it.
