A bit of a necro bump here but I guess this is probably the best place to ask my questions.
I'm looking at the Ghost Pep Box but I'm wondering what the differences and similarities in sound are compared to the Warmjet V and Dizzy Tone?
How's the Pep Box with stacking?
I know it can be pretty gated at higher settings, so I was wondering whether pumping more gain into it will make it slam into the gate even harder, losing sustain?
Maybe it's better to stack it the other way around, Pep Box going into another fuzz / drive?
Some experiences on this?

I've only got a Pep Box, not a Warmjet or a Dizzy. So, I can't compare directly.

I think it sounds best stacked into another fuzz or drive. When I'm playing with it, I usually run it first in my chain. It can be kinda thin and trebly sounding. Stacked into something like a Pharaoh darkens it up a bit and adds a little more weight. It's pretty awesome sounding either way.

A meet up with Uni is arranged, thanks man! :thumb: :)
Meanwhile are there any people here who can say more about the Dizzy Tone, Pep Box, Sounds Of Today and / or Warmjet V soundwise and how you use them (including differences and similarities maybe)?
