Nah, not in either demographic. Don't have any SS/BS stuff, and no real desire to from the demos I've heard.
I have a couple of Tom's pedals and they're nice pieces, but not what I want normally either.

Some dudes are just into playing rehashed blues licks, others like making glitchy noises
I'm sure the tgp crowd doesn't get how we go apeshit over yet another crazy fuzz box, just like their obsession with clean boosts and dumble-in-a-box shit is a mystery to us
Probably because it doesn't cost $300 to make something like this, yet the newest SS/BS was really cheap for how much went into the god damn thing.

Yes and it was extremely quirky. So it could be argued that one is no better than the other in regards to usability.

You flipped your PY before getting halfway into that rabbit hole so what would you know, buster!
Also there's a thread on tgp approaching 50 pages, the last 10 being full of its target demographic expressing contempt for the price.
And with SS/BS Pretty Years we had concept art from day 1. Not some scavenger hunt or hidden image search of clues and breadcrumb trail to YET ANOTHER BASIC DRIVE PEDAL. We got a quirky or utility dirt/oddmod/drone box with a trio of microtubes and 4 diff resonant filters with 10 knobs and 8 toggles...in a considerably more handsome enclosure put together by a 1 man operation
Plus a 12" lp and awesome t-shirt.

Well, I don't have any SS/BS, but anyway, are you sure there isn't even a tiny difference between innovative products creating new sounds versus generic overdrive #9000? Also not sure whether you could actually describe the whole ILF-demographic as being into glitchy noisemakers. Some of us are, but I generally see more Boss-pedals, fancy reverbs and ambient delays on here than actually crazy foozboxes. Probably exactly the same at TGP. But yeah, stereotypes are fun.

Deco is lowkey fucking SICK. The tape saturation is very amp-like, for lack of a better term. It takes shit in the way a distorted amp does. Stacks super well too. I like to use it on guitar when I know I need a bit of distortion and thickening but don't need anything particularly heavy. EQD Tentacle->Deco is a real winner of a combo too, in my experience.

Nothing, but only because you're lucky. Factual signature + 10/10 avatar keeps you afloat.
