By the way, that overdrive sounds amazing on the Agile LP copy! :thumb:

Sounds vintage-y, I almost never had OD gas, my gas is fuzz only, but my interest is piqued.

Whoa! That is sweeeeeeeeeet! I just forwarded the video to a guitarist I play with who is addicted to overdrive. He's got a Fourbanger coming, but this could be a nice 'nother option for him to add to the arsenal...

Loving all that Soundgarden in that vid!
It's a pretty fuzzy od. I bet it would sound great being boosted by a WIIO. I think I'm going to have to get one of these MANTRA's and try it out... maybe I should get a Whetstone first. Either way it's an epic win for me!

Just out of curiosity, have you tried pairing the Mantra with your other offerings, or even doubling it up? I love what twin pedals can do, in general, and would be intrigued about some hot Mantra-on-Mantra action (sounds dirty!). Or maybe Mantra + Musket? The Manket? Or Fixed Fuzz + Mantra... the Fixtra?

Seriously, though - it would be cool to hear how this stacks with other Blackout products.

or just put all of your pedals in one giant enclosure!

We're working on some more videos, so we'll make sure to add in some clips with other stuff in the chain. We're also going to make some bass clips, for Mantra and the Musket (finally). Unfortunately, we're all horrible on bass, so I foresee some inevitable slagging.

In other news, we're a bit ahead of schedule and the first dealer shipment is mailing out on Monday. They'll be up for sale sometime next week. Keep your third eyes to the skies.

Speaking of dealers... any interest in trying to send pedals to The Starving Musician in Berkeley, CA? I remember mentioning Blackout to them a while ago, but I don't know if they ever contacted you guys.

If you want any bass demos, there are at least two bass players from RI represented on this board who would LOVE to demo your pedals! :lol:

Seriously though - I'm happy to do audio demos (I don't have a decent video camera), but BigChiefBC does great & really informative video demos:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUJODezkrBM[/youtube], and [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7v4usseQVE[/youtube].

He always claims that he feels bad about talking too much, but I find his approach really informative.
