Sounds good, an interesting five-in-one pedal, but still a bit pricey for me.

DAT FIRST TOAN.

wasn't there a thread on this a while ago?

I read somewhere that one of the circuits is the octave clang, another the interstellar overdrive or fuzz war, etc. can't remember all the details, but seems like a nice all in One thing if you liked those pedals.

Great sounds, but I can't justify paying their prices for a few fuzzes and a noisemaker. Plus I've heard bad things about their build standards...good customer service is a plus but I'd rather just get a well built product and not have to use it.

It will turn into a DBA hate thread soon enough

It will turn into a DBA hate thread soon enough

I'll be glad to start that off.

I know rent/living in New York is expensive and all, but these guys are just arrogant with the prices of these pedals. They should at least sound somewhat unique or something. I don't mind paying much more money for quality shit, but 270 seems to a be a reach for their shit. I'm thinking 150 tops for these sounds and their build quality. I still wound't pay that though. Never hated any pedals with a passion until I owned a couple of DBAs.

I have a fuzz war and robot and they fucking rule.

I love their aesthetics. Really like their style.

[fiddelerselbow]

I like the aesthetic and most of their sounds but I don't think I could justify dropping that amount of cash on their stuff.

I've had a soundwave breakdown, robot, and a fuzz gun. The first two I got with a great discount. The fuzz gun I bought used. I only ever had a problem with the fuzz gun dying on me, and it took them a long long time to replace it, but they did. I still have the fuzz gun, as I think it bests the fuzz factory while doing so much more...great pedal! Soundwave was nice and had some crazy good fuzz tones, but it is very contingent on placement in the chain, and the robot had some great sounds (octave settings were brutal), just wasn't using it enough at the time. I wouldn't hesistate to buy any of these pedals again based on construction/reliability. Even though initial quality control can be lax, I don't recall a story of someone not getting their pedal fixed or replaced. My only hesistation is paying full price, and that is just because I'm a cheap bastard.

This. Sounds cool, and I have always enjoyed their aesthetic... but for $270 I feel like I can get something else that's way cooler. My old TheSYLE Singularity pretty much did all that and more and I got it for $100 used. AND IT HAD SEVEN KNOBS AND FOUR FLIPSWITCHES. So I felt like a toan scientist at the same time.

My Fuzz gun's been gigged regularly for 4 years now. had bass head stocks fall and smash on the knobs. still hasn't had any problems. I do occasional maintenance on all my pedals though Tightning any jacks I see that feel loose or what have you. so in that respect I'm kinda anal about my pedals when they're not on stage. I've shared this before but my fuzz gun was way late by a few months due to a bad batch of PCBs from China land. Matt secretly refunded 25% to my girlfriend (she had bought it for me as a gift) after the pedal had shipped. Super nice guys. Arrogant, yes and the tone isn't for everyone but let it never be said that they don't take care of their customers.
