Love listening to the MACHINE, but not for my playing style, still a great pedal reminds of Dwarfcraft Calibre distortion. The ringtone is very tastey and I got turned onto the Super Hardon from Listening to Queens of the Stone Age.
If a pedal on my board feels ashamed, it needs to find a new home.

Just bought a used Wah Probe off of CL this morning. Awesome pedal. I love wahs, but I do nothing but generic crap with them. I don't seem to be having that problem with the Wah Probe. Crazy good sounds in that fucker.

So, I'm a total noob here. Why all the ZVex hate? I mean, they're terribly overpriced, but I gotta assume there's something I'm not getting here. :idk:

I really enjoyed my fuzz factory and recorded a cool little ditty on my 4 track with it ran before my old microsynth. I'd kill for an ooh wah. It's just so expensive. He makes cool stuff. He was also a pretty nice guy when I talked to him.

i got a fuzz probe and i must say it is good fun with some delay...

a ringtone would be nice, but i have a hard time justifying paying more for that than a moogerfooger ring mod...

SHO - My favorite boost pedal.

Lo Fi Loop Junky - Nothing else out there quite like it.

Fuzz Factory - A really good crazy fuzz.

Those are the only ones I've played and I like them all. I own the first two but not the Fuzz Factory.

Yep. I waited over a year until one finally popped up for what I was willing to pay ($210). I lucked out in that it was a brand spankin' new pedal, it had sat in a box for 3 years after a 10 minute trial run apparently.

:joy: :omg: :joy:

I do think his stuff is worth the price new, but I'm not often willing to spend that kind of cash. I was a good little capitalist before a year's worth of layoff and subsequent 50% salary cut set me on my current economic path, which is pretty much akin to the following album title these days:

Besides, the current used market is far too accommodating to cheap bastards such as myself. Of course, every deal I find pretty much becomes null and void when I have to sell something. Alas!
