Are you saying the backorder notice and "availability" date are incorrect? I just got a notice saying it is backordeed and won't be available till 4/21/2017

Yes, it is an automated response. Sending it out was the only way we could get the Shopatron software to notify anyone of anything, and give them the option to cancel. As I mentioned in the earlier update, we are not backorderd, we are backed up.

Got to try mine out tonight. The EQ is intense, and def more tweakable than I am used to. I had a hard time dialing it in for the purpose that I had originally planned for it, but I'm sure I'll get it nailed in time.

However, for instant satisfaction, crank dat bass, scoop dem mids, and bash away. If that doesn't bring a smile to your face then check your pulse. The low end on this thing is incredible.

Seriously, the bass on this is fantastic. That eq is INSANELY tweakable. Much lower gain than I expected, but for dirt-stacking this thing's indespensible.

I bet having this push a slightly dirty amp SLAYS

One thing I am confused about with this pedal is with the eq level knobs. I figured that turning the individual eq level knobs fully counterclockwise would "turn off" that particular frequency band, but even with the level, say on the bass knob, fully turned down I can still hear the bass frequencies sweep if I turn the freq knob. Same is true for mids and treble. I'd like to cut the bass fully off but can't seem to do it.

It's because it's a band, not a shelf filter. You are only attenuating a band. You'd still hear a sweep if you were turning the cutoff.on a shelving filter too.

Thanks. So I was thinking the level knob was sort of a "volume" knob and not a cut/boost. Now it makes sense. I appreciate the reply.

Well mine was superstar VIP at my first jam with new guys last night. The only amp there was treble hell. I basically cut the treble down to 1 on the amp and used the Boneshaker as a light OD. The eq section made the amp sound sweet as shit and the breakup was really nice.

And then I kicked it in the ass with a Mini with the gain cranked and the bias at zero and it kept all that crackly fuzzy anger intact.

This might end up as my always-on end of the chain OD. I have to see how it sounds after delay and reverb now :drool:

Best $40 I've spent in a while.

Condolences to those who lost their packages to the black hole that is Georgia. I pray your pedals aren't burning on I-85 right now

The standard for that is $42.00. You just missed it.

Don't overlook the Gunslinger, that's a nice distortion. Nice harmonics and decay ...
