Are people talking about two different companies, with the same name, in one thread?
:whoa:

Just seen your video, and it seems really amazing. Can you compare your BMP with a Megalith Fuzz or an Eau Claire Thunder?

I don't own either of those two pedals unfortunately, I've wanted to try a megalith for a while though. All I can say is that's very wooly with a rack ton of low end and a really good amount of gain. Thumbs up in my opinion.

Oh and Jero, one is Monolith Pedals and one is Monolith Loudspeakers, but they are both generally referred to as Monolith. My two pedals are by Monolith Loudspeakers.

Contacted Rocknrollvintage.com about their stock of Tectonic Shift's. Apparently they're all sold (they DO have Lodestones) BUT they had a one-off Tectonic Shift custom made in a smaller box! Apparently the superfuzz side was modded for more gain, volume, and some sort of gate thinger? Dunno! IT'S MINE! And that demo was insane. Oh man. DDOOOOOOOMM

The layout looks identical to mine, any way you can post a video or sound demo? I'd love to hear what the difference is! This pedal is massive in tone, and very versatile IMO, you made a good choice. Let's hope the customer service stays on the up and up.

Oh and lil FYI incase you don't know, these have the jacks wired up reverse like an old big muff, input on the left, output on the right!

So anyways....last I saw on the TB fiasco is that Wade's Monolith should not be trusted....or at least....cover your ass. Make sure you pull out before paypal's dispute time ends if you place an order.

Yeah i read that as well, he's apparently making amends and hasn't completely disappeared but is in the process of repolishing a tarnished reputation. He's posted on here a few times but I haven't seen him in forever. I knew I was taking chances buying my pedals but they were used so I didnt have to deal with him directly and then have to wait through the build time.

Totally. I looked LOOOOOONG at a used preamp of his. It moved before I could jump on it. Great sounding stuff. And I would totally feel comfy ordering and waiting a week or two.....but I would be watching closely and would pull the plug on it a week before paypal's deadline. No way I let it go over a month.

I feel bad for my friend who placed an order before I told him what's up. Hopefully his 4x15 shows up, sometime.

He just ordered it about a month ago. Lets hope Wade finishes it and redeems himself

Yeah if he quoted like a 2 month turnaround I would bail in a heartbeat. What he needs to do is just turn out a bunch of pedals and get them to suppliers so there is no wait period. I highly doubt anyone would buy them directly from him until he proves he's turned over a new leaf, but if they were available from say Prymaxe with 2 day shipping and a no DOA guarantee then things might change, and I hope they do they are some wicked sounding pedals.

Has he heard anything from Wade? About a month ago is when he started communicating again and trying to fix his rep so there's a good chance, but he might want to get a hold of Wade. If he can't he might want to pull out before time runs out.

Yeah, I think he was in communication with him because it was about a month ago that he ordered it

Cool then he should be fine, as long as he keeps responding to emails.

Yeah. I'll have to check in on my friend, I haven't talked to him a whole lot since I left Richmond

Just spoke to him, said that he had to seek out a claim with his bank because Wade never got back to him after the first half of the payment was sent
