Came across a Great Dark Destroyer (Great Destroyer/Dark Boost) a while back and love it, couple with the Bit Quest right now. Been testing it out recently and its mostly endless fun, quick toutube vid of me messing round to test my phone:

I only got it a few days ago but the Suneater is ruling my world right now. There is no bad setting and every time I turn it on it makes me forget about what pedals are doing and just PLAY THE GUITAR which is always a good sign.

I'm still reppin the algal bloom I've had for yeeaars daily because it's perfect.

And the Ghost Echo is such a beautiful reverb, I have quite a few verbs and delays but if I had to pick one right now it would be that no questions.

Would you take Ghost Echo over a RRR?

I have both and that is a very difficult question but if we're talking simple nice sounding "turn it on and everything is great" reverb yes. the rrr does more and I love it to bits (and never want to sell it ever) especially the way the mix and level controls work, so I'm glad I don't have to choose!
but at the end of the day the GE sounds more magical and inspiring to me and that's what I want when playing.

HMMMM.

I want both. GE at the beginning, RRR at the end.

I do the opposite! RRR mix control works better for me pre-dirt, but either way round is totally sick.

RRR is great anywhere, as monkeydancer said, but it is hands down the best pre-fuzz dirt. Sonidero rolls two, one at either end of the chain.

Starting this thread did not help my GAS at all. I need a BitQuest and CT5, not to mention a Procession and deciding between a Fairfield Barbershop/Fuck/Mini.

I was going to get a Flint, but now deciding between that or a Mini Reverberator or Procession instead. Ah crap!

Recommend getting the BitQuest first. It does so much and none of it feels like the type of "compromise effects" that get shoehorned in a multi fx unit. Best pedal of 2014 right there.

very much Agree.
i use the Reverb - Delay - and the Dirty Delay most of the time.
and.that's not even half of what it does.

the Dirt on the Bitquest! is Really Rad. and .. Doesn't get enough :hug:
Dirty delay for dayz :!!!:

I fell back in love with the Frantabit tonight. So many awesome sounds to be had. Turned my bass vi into a crazy angry buzzsaw synth in space. This might be my new "lead" sound.

Hell yeah dawgs... The Algal and Eater are perfect together in any order...

I haven't gone a week without playing my Dual Eater since last last ILFSS... :hug:

This is true but now I've also been rockin two Moog MF Delays in the chain too, with an El Cap, and the Headrush at the end, and a Tremulust in the middle, and also sometimes an ILFDD or Neptune near the end and other ones on occasion...
