New Strymon pedal

[D.o.S.]

:V

LMAO

Deco seems interesting now.

I actually thought the same thing and listened to a demo of the Deco after this and thought "fuck that actually sounds pretty cool".

[Invisible Man]

Little do you realize the Riverside is really just Strymon sandbagging so they can sell more Deco pedals.

There is literally no reason that the secondary function for the mids knob should not be to select the center frequency. They really got lazy with this one, didn't they? Clearly targeting a market that wants everything done for them, rather than one that likes to tweak for specific tones...

Why mess with formulated success?

A very fair point. Still, I think that they'd only gain customers by having a few more secondary functions, which most of their demographic could simply ignore.

Shit those balls turned out way too pointy.

I think you're now Pointyballs, IM.

I love TGP

I'm sure we'll see Riversides P&Wing all over the place in a few months. Everyone else will stick to their Rats and/or Metal Zones.

I honestly want to try a boss metal zone bc all the hate it gets. I have a feeling it'll be the next HM-2 anyway so I might as well invest

Couple if hours late to the party, but:
The dirt department on my board right now is a self-modded MT-2 and Eno Rat-clone.
I bought the MT-2 for next to nothing because I wanted to try one out since "everyone" hates it.
Stock it has way to much gain and has an annoying "treble-notch"(the bee-in-a-can syndrome).
But it can sound cool stock, the key is to not be a 14 year old with a Marshall MG stack and pointy guitar.

But some very simple mods makes it very usefull, and now I have a nice sounding overdrive with a powerful EQ. Mine also have a feedback/oscillation-switch.

Alright, at some point I'll get myself a metal zone! I absolutely love how this thread turned out. 300$ drive > just play 4 250s > metal zones are pretty cool > IM has pointy balls

I will say that the el cap is glorious still, and that I'll never stop wanting a flint.

It makes too much sense.

The best thing about ILF is, we start a thread about a $300 lame as shit dirt pedal and it turns into a thread about cheap as shit boss pedals that kill it.

Absolutely.

[rustywire]

Food for thought: $300 got me a Pretty Years. $225 can get (another) new Elements...or 2 used for about $300.
I own 0 Strymon pedals. Nothing personal, just not the droids I've been looking for.
This newest pedal seems to be a "one-size-fits-all" dirtbox solution targeting a narrow niche market/demographic of players.
Dig that silliness

[rfurtkamp]

I can has six at once (twice this, since I have a GT-001 and 100 and can run them in series).

SIX

THE NUMBER OF THE METAL BEASTS.

Sure it's boring as fuck imo too. But isn't it still kinda funny seeing 8 pages of mostly disgust for this pedal and its target demographic, while we keep buying the latest greatest SS/BS stuff sight unseen

Srry, don't see much of a difference Some dudes are just into playing rehashed blues licks, others like making glitchy noises I'm sure the tgp crowd doesn't get how we go apeshit over yet another crazy fuzz box, just like their obsession with clean boosts and dumble-in-a-box shit is a mystery to us

[Iommic Pope]

Well, we have DoS to bridge the dad-rock divide so we should be all sweet.

Nah, not in either demographic. Don't have any SS/BS stuff, and no real desire to from the demos I've heard.

I have a couple of Tom's pedals and they're nice pieces, but not what I want normally either.
