Maybe it's becos I grew up listening to crappy & noisy music with lots of feedbacks and ballsacks, makes me love some doses of nastiness in my guitar sounds and hate the sparkling studio quality sonically
You readed my mind. The web is full of ambient\worship addicts with an El Cap, a BlueSky, and a volume pedal. We should stop them!!!

Are both your ladies from St Louis? Might need to visit there, I wouldn't mind catching some Blues games either.

Supermoon is awesome. It actually has some surprisingly subtle room/hall type sounds in there as well

Yep, both ladies born and raised in (or very near) St. Louis.
I have access to Blues Season tickets thru work as well so yeah, you should come visit for awhile.

In Europe the Mr. Black pedals are too overpriced :/ 210 euros, something like 260$, it's a shame.

Drop them a line and tell them you only want to pay them 180 euro's (200 euro's plus shipping) because it's $180,- in the US (dollars = euro's), they might accept, I don't know.
Or otherwise get them from the US, usually works as well.

i currently have a ghost echo and a regular disaster transport. i love them. they both do really really well with dirt. i think EQD really focuses on getting their pedals to work well with dirt. you'll be really happy with that combo. the DT Sr just seems awesome. i used to have a cathedral and i like the ghost echo so much more. no presets or anything, but i didn't find the presets for the cathedral that useful live anyway because they aren't foot switchable. i tried out an el cap at the same time that i bought the DT. it was a cool pedal, but i kind of agree that it seemed a little sterile or something. somehow it just wasn't as inspiring to me.

The Ghost Echo is hard to beat if you're running a lot of fuzz/dirt pre-verb.
It's between that and the RRR for my reverb needs, can't ever decide which I prefer. Probably the RRR because of the multiple types of verb included. I also love the clean boost/level feature, really saves your signal when you get to cranking that mix.

RRR is a good sounding pedal, but there are too few knobs! A decay knob will be useful! Uhm Cathedral pre fuzz and Ghost echo post fuzz?

Am I the only one or I'm just getting older and decaying.. I now tend to like a simpler pedals with fewer knobs (but I bought the Sr. anyway). Shit, it's downhill from here
