I love them both (shiva and TGD). I don't have a boost type pedal, but I know when you Assblaster > Small Stone > B:assmaster > TGD and do various combinations of on / off with the SS and B:A you get nice variations of pulses, squeals, farts, and hisses.

Shiva's are awesome. I hope they become popular.

Devi sent me a Dark boost PCB so I will know about it soon, and the DB/TGD mashup we've been talking about.

TGD does the same thing I usually (on TGD) change the gain setting and dial the sound back in usually just nudging a knob will bring it back

Then there is a limited oscialltion capability. The TGD is a balls out weapon that you can only count on for one thing. fucking shit up. it's (almost) always oscillating, and it's pretty tough to get a "rock band" kind of chord-y fuzz out of it, it's always going to be splattering or trying to oscillate. TGD is more of a noise synth that happens to accept an input signal
hmm playing chords on by bass sounds amazing with TGD!
HUGE!!!

Oh yeah. We've run into that. There's a few "garaunteed" tones in there, and the rest is kind of icing on the cake, IMO.
less_cunning wrote:okay. so if a boost makes a TGD sound "more normal," my simple question is why would someone want a TGD to sound "normal." why not just a get a normal, usable fuzz. or a Shiva instead?
or am i missing something???
Some want it both ways.

Well I got my DB and now I cant decide whether i want to keep it pre or post TGD! It sounds great both ways but when the DB is pre TGD still lets out TONS of highs so I am thinking I will keep it post and maybe get some other boost to feed TGD (TGD HUNGRY!!). I am loving how the DB overdrives with TGD feeding it. Dark and beefy.
