I love what twin pedals can do, in general, and would be intrigued about some hot Mantra-on-Mantra action (sounds dirty!). Or maybe Mantra + Musket? The Manket? Or Fixed Fuzz + Mantra... the Fixtra?
Seriously, though - it would be cool to hear how this stacks with other Blackout products.
We're working on some more videos, so we'll make sure to add in some clips with other stuff in the chain. We're also going to make some bass clips, for Mantra and the Musket (finally). Unfortunately, we're all horrible on bass, so I foresee some inevitable slagging.
If you want any bass demos, there are at least two bass players from RI represented on this board who would LOVE to demo your pedals!
Seriously though - I'm happy to do audio demos (I don't have a decent video camera), but BigChiefBC does great & really informative video demos:

He always claims that he feels bad about talking too much, but I find his approach really informative.
bigchief demos are the

Well shucks, guys, thanks. I would be ecstatic to demo any pedal any builder wants to send me.
But I DO talk to much

Don't have a specific date for Fat Tone yet, but they do have an order in and we'll be busting ass to get everyone stocked for the next few weeks.

Kyle! The MANTRA is a real gem! I just now ordered from PGS. It will probably replace my Hermida Zendrive on my board.
Sweet, sweet, and triple sweet! Nice vids so far, too.

Awesome man.
We really hope it fits what you're looking for. Like all the stuff we do, its has a plethora of sounds in it - all of which haven't really been documented in the vids so far. We do hate ponies.

This demo does not help my GAS. Though I do see that you can use it with 18v too. Is it twice as good at the higher voltage?

Sure, why not.
That's science!
Seriously though. Voltage does make quite a difference here.
