If you live in or around Philly, you can get Mountain King gear at DiPinto guitars around Front & Giraud. They have some rad guitars and amps there too.

I have Megalith for a half year. When I saw Megalith's demo my first intention was like - this could be nice as last pedal in cascade of fuzzs. But it ended up as pedal just before bass moded ECT (I'm playing bass guitar).
Cascade of Megalith + ECT sounds more powerful than one of those pedals alone. Curiously now I'm using Megalith on very gentle settings - to avoid too hot gain on ECT input what can cause unwanted "input break" on some notes.
What else? I could say drive on Hi Mids are that territory where the character of Megalith lives (at least for me) while drive of bass and Low Mids coming from ECT (I think every Big Muff moded for more bass can be in place of ECT).

Otherwise Megalith is great pedal. Highly recommended.

Does the megalith. Prefer a clean amp over one that is cooking a bit? Does it handle pedals or a buffer into it?

MiddleEarthCrisis posted a Heavy Machine NPD recently, looks bad ass!

F.e. ECT definitely needs a buffer before it. Megalith can do it alone.
Honestly I tried it only with tube amps (Ampeg SVT2PRO, Hiwatt 400 and Orange AD200B) - sounds good with all of them. As I told I had difficulties to get right notch settings for LowMids (too much Bass or too much High Mids) on Megalith but maybe it is just a matter of taste. "More Heavy" switch works like clean booster of overall freqs at least in my setup - so when I have it before ECT I do not push that "More Heavy" switch at all.

But I also should mention that I have tried in this position (before ECT) some other pedals (GGG tuned BMP, DOD Buzz box, 2 different kind of RATs, WMD Greiger Counter, Shiva, Blue Box, moded Boss Bass overdrive) - Megalith is the best.

It is definitely bad ass but I'm more of the full on fuzz type and the Heavy Machine is more of a Fuzzy Distortion.
I think I'm going to sell the HM for a down payment on the Megalith.

I wish I could manage to keep both.

I have the Behemoth II and Magnetar. Awesome with everything. I might buy your Heavy Machine.

Has anyone played the huge box? Anything like a meathead?

just wanted to point out that IMO the mountainking LSD is similar to the wolf computer and the parallel universe. possibly also the absynth. all oscillating and there is a lot of overlap in the sounds they can get. also they have 4 knobs

I've never tried either of those two for comparison but the Heavy Machine is tits.

The Heavy Machine is a 4 knob version of the Huge Box and it can get sounds like this:

Here is a Huge Box Demo for comparison:

My absynth is why I don't have the freq lsd yet. I don't think they are that similar however.

If I can get a recording to do it justice, by all means. It will also have to be in private as there are no demos from Alan yet (that I know of).

I have alll 3 of these, imo the Freq LSD is the wildest, most 8-bit sounding. There is some overlap but they are actually fairly different. The Wolfie can get into LSD territory but the LSD has a wider range of 8-bit type sounds, lots of different textures whilst the Wolf has more "normal" fuzz type sounds that the LSD doesn't. The Parallel Universe sounds to my ears alot more like a OD with the oscillo on top. Not really in the same ballpark as the other 2 pedals, but amazing nonetheless. It excels at low gain type sounds, then blam, hit oscillation for a massive boost of craziness.
