Pretty sneaky, sis.
SO FUCKING DUMB.
They aren't even limited edition. You can order direct with very little wait.

I got mine yesterday, pretty cool, TONS of variety with this thing. I'm not even sure what the knobs do honestly, all kinda depends on toggle settings. It can do standard drive sounds, bright or dark and muffled, on thru to the most fucked up fuzz sounds I've heard in awhile, hard to describe. I need to sit down with this one awhile, get to tweaking and stacking.
I've never owned any Devi designed circuit so it's hard to compare but Ken's build quality is top notch as always and this thing is nice and quiet in terms of noise/hiss/etc.

I hope it gets some dem great sounds from the prototype #2 demo. At one time she plays one note and it sounds like a 56k modem.

It does. Indeed.
Also this like SUPER HEAVY smashed up glitchy sounding broken fuzz. With sustain. I was playing it late night at reasonable levels but I really need to go high volume later on. I'm sure it crushes!

Yea so far the best starting point for me is both switches off, input and knobs 1, 2, and 3 cranked...then you let off on your volume or the three knobs to taste and finally mess around with the switches. STL Improbability Drive brothers!!
Oh and it sounds sick with bass...

Yeah, I was running mine tonight at quite the obnoxious volume and it's totally great! I used the same setting you mentioned mostly, version 1 with A and B toggles off, knobs 1 and 2 cranked but 3 only about 75%, input cranked, output set to taste.
HOLY SHIT MAN! It's like a super thick, hairy fuzz with this crazy background pitch bended/detuned synth bass note on the verge of oscillating that's totally useable/controllable. Def has that blown out Fuck sound you mentioned, many variations on it actually, some super mean and almost electronic sounding. I was stuck on that one setting for almost 45 minutes running into my Dwarvenaut set to breakup just a bit.
There's so many more cool sounds in this thing but this is one of the best I've found so far. I haven't even stacked it yet, just running straight in thus far, good times.
Many on ILF will LOVE this pedal I'm thinking.

Wow, that sounds like a great thing!
I have some Devi pedals here now but I'm very underwhelmed by them to be honest, I'm going to send them all back because there's no low end in any of the pedals and way too much compression that you can't dial back.
How is that with this Improbability Drive, does it have enough attack and low end (or attack in the low end)?
