So I had some vouchers for my birthday for a local guitar shop. It the shop i get pretty much everything from. So I picked up one of these.
Was planning to grab one of tim's clones, but thought I'd try this first. The dual terror is fickle with pedals and got this for Â£40! Loyal customer discount lol. I'll see how it goes and then maybe treat myself to one of tim's!

I really wanna get my hands on one of these but they're going for silly money on eBay and Dawson's want around Â£65. Do an demo?

DO WANT.

Last time I looked you could get these for about Â£49 everywhere. Are they suddenly rare?

Been dithering between one of these and one of Tim's.

I just bought one of Tim's and just used it at band practice for the first time, it's fantastic.

well, i can now see what all the klone/klon fuss is all about.

hadn't really had much time to try it out at home, so it was straight into the deep end at band practice. i kept the back off so i could flick between the buffered and true bypass mode. fuck me, does the buffer make everything sound better! i only running a 3-4 pedals at the most, two true bypass and to with debatable quality bypass. feels cliche say it but it did feel like a blanket it had been lifted of my amp. more dynamic and a more balanced sound. don't think my amp and tele have sounded better. turning it on and driving the amp was pure fucking bliss, i cut through like a fart in a florists! set it up with the treble cut slightly and drive at 11 volume at 12-1.

i plugger my mooer green mile (tubescreamer) back in and could tell that whilst is was a good pedal, the soul food just sounds amazing. might have to splurge and get one of tim's zombie Klones now!

If you decide to buy one from Tim and need rid of this, let me know, please.

I have one of Tim's Golden Eagle klones and i'm running it third in my chain (after a Boss TU2 and FZ2), would the quality of the sound differ at all if I ran it first in my chain?

not tried it in different positions yet, i stuck it after my wah, before my polytune and phase 45.

No, because they're all buffered.

That's good then, I can't move the GE to first in the chain as the power jack is on the wrong side of the pedal.

I've got one of these pedals as well, and I like it alot. I use it much like my tubescreamer or SD-1 as a mild boost, but I like the way this works better, and it stacks so much better than either of those pedals. I am going to change out the BAT diodes in it for some old germanium 1N270's when I get them in the mail to get it closer to the original circuiit.
