thats a pretty great looking/sounding box!
sounds alot better than the reissues. i was totally ready to buy and was very excited about the RI's until i tried one out and indeed, they are quiet and stupid. i wonder if they are moddable?

Fiddly as they're PCB construction. Haven't spent enough time with the schematics to see if they have just used the wrong transistors or fucked the gain stage(s) or just the output stage up.
I'm amazed stuff like that makes it into the marketplace.

Sounds great, I had a reissues for a while, the volume drop was indeed awful. Always thought it would be a great pedal if you could switch the octave on & off too.

and now feel the pain is stuck in me head.
i'll have to go and play it loudly through the mudhoney to get it out.
great pedal anyhow, you were getting close to some of my favourite great destroyer tones at times.

ooh, that sounds pretty mental, not what i was expecting.
yeah, if the octave thing was switchable it'd appeal to me more. would that be possible mikhail?

Sounds good, a bit too fuzzy for me i think. Looks amazing though. I heard a lead from WEEZER, which is awesome. I was listening to the blue album on the way back from college earlier actually, cool.

Sparhawk is a pretty dedicated Zvex user. Well, and a little dwarfcraft..

Michael Shortscale, that is one amazing sounding pedal; I'm particularly impressed at how useable, and useful, the blend control is.

its funny, when i read this, i assumed he meant great destroyer as in the dwarfcraft device, not its namesake record. shows where my priorities lie, i suppose.

That pedal really looks chock full of the awesome. Whose enclosures are you using -- Hammond?

Yeah, the Hammond/Eddystone ones. That's a BB sized box.
