I ordered one.
Considering the price and the fact that for once I don't have to pay import costs,
it seemed a shame not to try it...
It's getting sent out today, should be here early next week.
!j!

OK, so i basically noticed something that makes it clear for me... not gonna own this one
i can't find a place in my chain where it'd sound and work well for me
when before buffer, it's too sizzly. When after buffer, it sounds amazing until i turn on my Faux Tape Echo... the volume boost is crazy
so we're gonna check it with my pal and if he likes it, it's his birthday present

Necro bumping this thread with light to medium prejudice.
I have a twin earth. I peeked inside and it's well made.
If anyone else stumbles on this thread and wanted to hear it in a musical context on top of the other great demos on youtube, here it is.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ts0eiwmun8tx4 ... 6.mp3?dl=0
Signal chain is a Schecter Diamond blackjack 7 strings (drop A) with stock passive duncans on bridge pickup (I usually play all my fuzz stuff on neck pickup but this pedal doesn't seem to give a fuck as the difference is minimal), volume knob full, tone knob full on ==> Twin Earth (omega setting, chaos off, Void knob @ 3ish O'clock, Terror knob @ 10ish O'clock) ==> POD X3 (Patch : JCM800/4x12 78 brit celest T-75's, sm57 off axis, no stomp, no EQ, no gate, no nothing, just an amp and cab) ==> Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 Mk2 ==> Reaper (no effect plugin, lowpass+slight 2k-5k boost on main guitar channel).
Placeholder drums, no bass guitar, played the two riffs for a few bars a total of 4 times, and stacked two tracks on each side.
I believe the pedal is gated, and I use it on an AC adapter even though it also has a battery clip (which I asked for and was added at no cost)
Since this is kind of a raw tone test I vary the way I play the opening note of the first riff, so sometimes I'll pick 2-3 strings to bring out some chord thickness, and sometimes just the 7th string to get more of a buzzsaw tone when the riff starts again.
I enjoy the tone I got from it for this test so it's likely I'll keep these settings for a while but if I wanted something for teh doomz I'm pretty sure I could squeeze it out of it as well without much trouble.
All in all I think it's a damn versatile pedal and well worth it's price. I'm satisfied with it so I'm not eyeing anything else from Nine of Swords at the moment, but I would say buy with confidence, they are good clean pedals at a price that's pretty hard to beat.
Cheers and best wishes in your quests for tones.

I've ended up here quite a few times over the years doing research, so I'll definitely stick around.
Cheers.

That was 6 years ago?! Wow. I dropped the dang ball. Anyways, yea I was building things on turret board for a second (fuzzrite, meathead, electra, etc). I traded the meathead thing + another build. Used modern parts I think, no vintage mojo, but proper transistors etc, and added hi/low options on the input/output caps.
Are the Meatheads still in production? The real ones, not the 9 million clones/variations

I think they sold a small run of them earlier this year.
