Agreed.
The Best is The Element

If everyone loves the elements, this only means that the elements is an hipster pedal

I've loved my elements with every amp and guitar I've tried it with....from a semi-hollow with humbuckers to a solidbody with single coils. It's SO GOOD!!

I loved my Elements. I am currently loving my Iron Horse.
Bone that petty "hipster" labeling.

Hah.
Mad burly. Truth that the Iron Horse gain knob isn't super varied. The changes are subtle.
The big differences are in the Mode switch.

I tried the Iron Horse awhile back, pretty cool modded RAT. It was the Earthbound Audio Iron Pig that I ended up with tho, like every RAT version in one pedal, rules!
That said, the Elements covers most any RAT tone I could ever want regardless of the fact that it's def no RAT.

I completely agree. I had a vfe alpha dog (rat with more controls and selectable diodes), and I dumped that thing immediately after trying an elements. The elements has much better eq controls, and it doesn't cut your lows like rats do

I think I ended up losing the Elements because my brain can't handle having so many options.
There's soooooooo many sounds in that thing.
