Yeah, mine is too quiet for rehearsal without anything boosting it afterwards.

So a quick question though. For the two of you that own this, was it kind of quiet for you? I have to use my B7K to boost it in order to make it loud enough. Or turn the volume all the way up.

Ok. Cool. Just wanted to make sure that was normal. Not a big deal or anything. That's what boosters are for!

Yeah, it annoyed me a bit in the beginning but the sounds i get out of that pedal are so good that i don't care about using sth. afterwards to boost the signal.

I have 5 LAL pedals:
Lluna / Oscillofuzz 87 / Gomorrah / Donshari / Sandstorm

I freaking love these pedals! These are those kind of pedals that can be really sweet and musical, but if you push them then new sonical territories and possibilities are at your command! :)

Siiiick. How's the Gomorrah? I was thinking about ordering one next.

Also do you think the output level of the noise on your sandstorm is a bit low? I absolutely love mine but it seems way quiet for a noise generator :lol: , thinking about sending it in for a mod or something.

I received the Gomorrah this morning, so I'm going to try it out this evening.

To me the noise levels on the Sandstorm are good. I don't feel it's low. Actually I mostly use it to add some "background crackle" to my guitar sounds, so I'm mostly using the noise level not higher than 9 o'clock.

Have you tried using a boost after the Sandstorm?

Yeah I have the Lastgasp Angel Ring after it and that works fine. The way I use it is more for triggering loud bursts of noise than mixing in a bit of crackle so it would just be more convenient if the pedal had more level on tap. Not a dealbreaker by any means, i just have unusual requirements. I've heard of other LAL pedals being quiet although the Angel Ring is by far the loudest boost I've ever had.

Thanks for the reply gila_crisis, keen to hear how the Gomorrah works out for you, I thought Kayzer's demo of that sounded amazing.

Ah, gotcha, makes sense. Thanks.

I'm interested in the Sandstorm, but I'd probably use the noise blended in with my signal.

The Gomorrah is awesome! The first impresisons are that the subharmonic modus by itself is not that special, or better said doesn't stand out so well, since there's a lot of "low frequencies interplay" which are happening, but if you ran another drive/distortion box after the gomorrah then things turn out to be reeeeaaaally interesting and mad ^^
The overtone modus alone is a really beautiful fuzz, kind reminescent of the univox superfuzz, and also capable of doing crazy gated and splattery sounds.
As always with LAL stuff, I'm really happy and impressed!

Sweet! I get what you mean, I have an EQD bit commander which i absolutely love but turn up the sub octave on guitar and it just makes everything muddy rather than being distinguishable.

Just reviving this to say that my Super Oscillo Fuzz is the king of all fuzzes.

Just ordered an Octavella and a Lluna to widen the collection!
