Woaaaahhhh, I was not expecting that big a sound from the 69
That's such a huge sound, definitely piqued my interest

Still haven't got to mess around with them that much. Sad face.

Planning on a demo Wed and then sending them out to the next in line. Wish I had more time. Stupid working.

It's a shame! I want the white knobs on my Stutterbox!!! I hate the poor-black-gummy knobs on mine!!!

I try to do a customer review of this pedal.
I have only the stutterbox, I wasn't a tremolo-guy, I had several cheap tremolo pedals that I sold after few days of messing.
I have an "odi et amo" relationship with this pedal, everytime I'm considering to sold it, I change idea the next day.
Everything I don't like of this pedal, it's not fault of this pedal, but it's mine, because I'm not a tremolo guy, but I'm slowly changing ideas about this effect.
This pedal has huge pros: the active tone and gain worth the price, I use it sometimes with depth at zero and tone at max, this red box make everything sounds better, when It is bypassed everything sounds like shit. The wave shapes are cool, but with fast settings and medium\high depth, they are all really similar (like every tremolo pedal). Personally I love the sine and the square too, but I can understand actually the pulse\lumpy, but they are really warm and lush sounding.
Tap tempo is a nice feature, but without a lfo reset is useless in a band contest if you need heavy-rythmical tremolo in the middle of a song, for this pourpose I think is better an expression pedal. But who's care, it's a problem of the drummer.
The patterns are a great and an inspiring feature, it's cool how they react with the depth knob and wave shape, I think they work better after a long sustained instrument: guitar\bass with reverb, synths, drones, noise, oscillations, infinite, HOG ecc...
The verdict: this box can do standard tremolo really well, it sounds really natural and warm, but it can bacame more aggressive\percussive with the depth and the tone knob, without lfo is an Excellent clean\treble booster, the preamp is better that the DMM one, the patterns are really cool for make noise paired with weird pedals and instruments, tap tempo is a nice feature, maybe the tap switch is too sensitive sometimes, but I have no problem to control the speed knob manually.

Video didn't work out...fun starts about halfway through. All sounds made with SolidGoldFX and a feedback loop.

Let me just start by saying that I was really impressed by the overall quality of these effects boxes. They all seemed to do just fine daisy chained and totally sounded great. The clear standouts for me were the agent 19 and the electroman. The agent 19 was a great heavy sounding fuzz that just sounded good to my ears. The electroman is on par with our own beloved sunny day delay in sound (sans modulation). If I didn't have two SDDs I would seriously be looking to get one of these. The apollo and stutter box are both effects I don't use often but they are compact tap tempo versions that sound just as good as any other variations I've tried in the past. Another fun note is all of these pedals totally freak out in a feedback loop, this isn't always true so its a nice feature for apparently the whole SolidGoldFX line. the formula 76 was nice but I found only the octave up mode to be useful the scooped mids sound was wasted on me. If 6 was 9 seemed like a lower gain version of the agent 19 which would be nice if you if that was what you were going for. The Zeta was a nice solid overdrive though I wish it could cop the clean boost sound with the gain all the way down. There was just a touch of breakup even with the gain at a minimum. Finally I want to touch on the surfrider...its sounded fine but im not much of a spring reverb guy so I honestly cant comment much on how it sounds compared to real spring tanks.

Tourbox 1 arrived!!! I'll try and actually demo some of these this time!!

[Jwar]

I'm absolutely LOVING this tourbox!!! I wasn't as keen on the last one for some reason (pedals just weren't my bag maybe?) but HOLY FUCK! I LOVE THESE! I'll have a full write up/review soon.

[SolidGoldFX]

Glad to hear you are digging these!!

[Jwar]

Ok so I've been sitting on these a bit too long but I wanted to makes sure I got demos done. They are in the processing stage right now.

First things first:

Very brief write up

Agent 13-Goes from gnarly balls to the wall fuzz, to the most splattery, sputtery fuzz I've heard. Absolutely killer!

Electroman-Awesome delay with some pretty cool sounds and crazy whacked out noises. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

Stutterbox-Absolute must have pedal. Has sooooooooo many options and the tap tempo made it killer! One thing I really dug about this pedal is that it doubles as an OD. Haha. If you turn the depth all the way off, it turns into a fucking OD! Not sure if that was on purpose, but pretty damn cool!

Formula 76-This is the one I must buy. I have to. I LOVED this pedal from the second I plugged it in! Gets in the same realm as the Mountainking Megalith and to my ears actually sounds better. Nice, thick as shit fuzz. Tons of bottom end. Absolutely my favorite.

Videos to come.
