I don't know if it's because I want one so bad but I preferred the emma

Glad you finally got your hands on one!

That thing sounds frickin' incredible, but I can't bring myself to spend $250 on a pedal covered in Comic Sans.

(Font aside, I think it's probably the best-sounding of the high gain pedals from all of the demos you've done - I think it sounds better than the Dominator, which I've been drooling over for a little while now.)

I thought the exact same thing about the font. It's not a deal breaker but I dunno... It bothers me.

I'm not really into metal but I thought that sounded excellent.

This is probably a stupid question but what's up with the names of Emma pedals? I can't tell if they're words, acronyms, nonsense, or phonetic interpretations of words or something.

we had one used when I worked at GC and no one wanted to plug it in and try it cause the early emma's had a sticker that looks like it was done on an inkjet printer at home. plus the font was kinda fail city.

Yup, it looks funny.

I reeeeaaaallly like the Emma on its lower gain settings - the higher ones are kind of squishy where the Dominator is chuggy, if that makes sense. Dominator seemed to do br00tz better, but I liked the PisdiYAUwot better overall. Also, as an aside - the buffered bypass on the Pisdi (NOT "true bypass," which is printed right on the fucking pedal ) didn't play nice with a couple of my other pedals, which sucked.

I haven't tried the Openhaus, seems okay.

Tried that thing out on bass at Prymaxe Vintage a few weeks ago and it knocked me on my ass. I wish I had the money to drop right now

you are so right on the comic sans and other windows word style fonts on pedals, it also always bothers me on the wampler pedals...

all in all the dominator and Openhaus have more bass and low end to my ears while the Emma delivers a different kind of punch and cutting highs.

I brought the Emma with me to a band rehearsal and those duds didnt had a guitar amp there just a gallien krüger bass amp, so i plugged my tesla into the Pisdi and the bass amp and i had a very good sound blasting the other guitar player who had some kind of l Creat Solid state stack iirc...

I don't know, i wasn't really impressed

Dominator still wins in my book

Interesting...from demos the dominator has always seemed to have more punch but a bit less bass...but I've never heard any of those 3 in person

Which one is the most recto-like?
Just sold my recto to pay for some fuzz (super bee/oracle) so now I'm looking to get a looser recto feel out of my mrakV
I'm not looking to get the triple wreck, mostly focused on the dominator/emma/openhaus.

Jizz, you got an Oracle? *mega envious attack* ;-P
How is it working out? Worth the price tag?

I never liked my dual recto and always had to push it with an overdrive to get at least some balls out of it.

The Wampler Triple wreck for example is nothing alike a recto, it has alot more low end and punch and ontop the fuzz side...
dominator / openhaus are more like a Bogner to my ears but the Pisdi can sound close to the recto while beeing more Diezel like IMO...

Lotso great info!
I getcha...I'll probably end up checking out all of them at some point, but the Emma is the cheapest

The oracle is pretty awesome...it's huge and a work of art inside. The push/pull tone is clever, the regular is sorta a muff style and the 2nd mode is kinda a vox tone cut.

It feels a lot like the super bee (I think the circuits are close too). There isn't a lot of gain until you get towards the end of the sweep of the gain knob.
It doesn't have that sorta special bloom? the bee has on single notes,
though the tone controls give the oracle a edge as far as getting different sounds, it can even get pretty muffy.

All sound great, nice demos! I do like the Emma, but the Toneczar has its own thing happening as does the Dominator. You play very well and that helps a lot I'm sure.....nice job!
