Sounds kind of like my mini ark on a lot of settings, just a bit dirtier and more chaotic, I dig it

Pretty cheap, too! Sounds like a 4040 chip.

thats exactly what i want to know and what prevents me from buying it.

SOMEBODY BUY ONE, HATE IT, AND SELL IT TO ME FOR CHEAPER.

Just bought one but I'm hoping not to hate it ;) But I will let you know how it sounds with bass, guitar and keys

Just got it in the mail... so there's the obvious initial GAS and this is probably the most disruptive think I've ever played (2nd being my old E13 TBD) but I don't think I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon. I immediately found a setting for a riff in this one song I'm working on with my band. It does really well at the 12th fret keeping some semblance to a note but anywhere else it sounds like my guitar is exploding, erupting or getting scrambled like eggs (which I like). Also, if you have the Flux high and while you're playing turn the flux knob down it does this wicked filter sweep... very cool. Good oscillation, good volume, keeps the notes arpeggiating well too. Nice pedal. Good spend.

Yeah, working on some samples. I plan on sampling it with guitar, bass, micro-korg and the EF-101, their dual-oscillator (which I already did and it was less that spectacular).

This is the EF-103 with a Vox AC4TV and PRS Custom 22 in the neck pickup position. I do the clean signal first, then the ef-103 with the flux down in the 2 position, then with the flux high in the 2 position, then with the flux medium in the 4 position. I tried playing the same riff over and over so you could hear the difference. I also tried to sweep the flux manually a few times so you could hear the filter like effect.

Thanks!

Ok, same run through with a cheap Gretsch bass and Fender Rumble 100... 2 with low flux, 2 with high flux, 4 with med flux, sporadic manual filter sweep thrown in
