The big muff clone is wicked, gobs of low end and wooly grit. The tectonic shift is wicked, the superfuzz side reminds me of a verellen big spider but with a vintage touch to it, and the big muff side is much like the BMP clone but with a little bit more present mids and high end, I'm not sure which big muff its based on, its close to the Pi but not quite the same. Did you watch the video i posted a few pages back? there's sound samples of both in there.

Oh wow... Definitely didn't see that somehow. Killer rig. It's sounds real gnarly haha. I'm super bummed that the Lodestone or The Tectonic Shift aren't for sale anymore. I tried going on the website the other day to check.

I can't remember where it was online, but I know it was a pedal distributor, smaller place that had some for sale. Its the same place DannDouble got his proto. Check a few pages back!

Thanks man I appreciate it! I'm loving it, freaking loud for a lil 2x12 cab. I wouldnt mind trying out a lodestone, there was a few for sale on ebay but their gone now, feel lucky to have gotten my tectonic shift, that's why i had to jump on it. Wade @ Monolith isn't making much of anything right now, the story is searchable online if your interested in knowing why.

Here's a "quick" clip I threw together after work of the Tectonic Shift. Goes from clean signal (Jazz bass tuned CGCF) to Super Fuzz side, to SF with tone engaged, to just the BM side, to, well, everything and all sorts of knob twiddling and jerkoffery inbetween. Just got offa work so I wasn't especially inspired. Just pissed. So, whatever, screw you - I don't care how I am playing :thumb: Oh yeah, I forgot my snares were on SO you'll hear that in the beginning. It gets drowned out eventually from the super massive fuzz attack.

Was recorded with a pretty shitty condenser mic pointed at my 2x15/4x10 as well as the DI from my Eden Navigator simultaneously. That a'way there's a good straight signal and a hefty booming one that lets you hear the clicks when I change schtuff (or screw with my bass).

fur serious. crank dat.

I wish I knew how to add a switch to put the superfuzz either first or second in the chain. It would be wicked to have them in parallel even...hhhmmmmmm...

This thing is also mega loud. The SuperFuzz side is a little quieter (still louder than clean) but MAN that muff side has some MEGA gain on tap. Friggen' LOUD. HEAVY. MESS.

Just remember his pedals pretty much no longer have a warranty, unless he's able to flip his business back into good standings, so its a buy at your own risk type situation.
