I found many uses for mine and I'm still loving it

I'm curious as to how you all are getting along with yours?

Awesome review dude.

The Sparkle is suuuuuuper versatile! I use mine as my base sound, so it's on all the time. I liked my cleans before, but I wanted more clarity and brightness without it getting too thin and brittle sounding. The Sparkle achieved this easily and, at the risk of sounding cheesy, added a certain "sparkle"( ) to my sound I guess you could say. All of my od and fuzz, especially my darker fuzz, have a definite increased clarity while still retaining the thick, heavy sound they had before the Sparkle was in my setup. I lurv it.

Thanks!

I agree 100%, it's a great pedal to have on any board!

Excellent review man. I'd kill for one of these. They sound awesome in the demonstration clips.

I'm pretty sure they are going into production soon, I sent Brian an email earlier to make sure.

I hope so. They sound great.

Asked for a FUCK Overdrive today, custom paintjob. Can't wait. That thing was the overdrive I'd been waiting for. Was debating between getting it or something else (different effect, smallsound/bigsound was my OD choice the moment I heard it) but nah. Pipped it and I'm happy about it. I'm joining the coolest gang in town!

Nice review! I still need to try it with the Manx like you suggested.

I'm really digging mine. Lots of control over the tones in there. The EQ knob/switch are great features. As is the input control. It's built really well too. Having an led and dc jack is another nice addition. I like how it can be used as a subtle tone enhancer but it can also get pretty mean if you want it to.

I ordered a Fuck along with mine and the two pair up really well together. Slamming the Fuck with the SM is loads of fun. Especially when using the burst mode. I'm also using mine with a Dirty Little Secret MKII and Naga Viper. As well as some of my fuzz builds. All are good combinations.

I'm a treble booster junkie. I've owned quite a few of the options out there as well as built quite a few of my own. Brian did a great job with the Sparkle Motion. Hell of a nice pedal for a really reasonable price.

Grrrrrr. Still waiting for mine in the mail ......

in... germany? jeez louise

I love my SM, its my very first pedal in my chain and always on. I love the eq switch, it really lets me dial in the tone i want especially. I currently have the switch set for the bassier option which really thickens the p90s of my SG yet still leaves it with plenty of clairty and sparkle! it also brings alive my humbuckers in my shecter. I love the way it makes my noisemaker effects crush fuzz sound, a really trashy, trebbly fuzz that my roomate said sounded like i was using a drill in my room. I run the SM at the front of my chain and then i also run an lpb1 at the end, together they make my guitar sound huge. I cannot find a moment in my playing where i have to turn off the SM, this my fav pedal i own, if this becomes a regular production pedal i suggest everyone to get one

Nice review! I am still committed to sparkle motion after having it however long its been. I use it as a standalone overdrive on a midrangey setting/the same setting into my TAFM for destroying things most of the time, but also love it for just making cleans sound nicer, or for insane amounts of bass into the tafm.

So. At long last mine arrived today after an odyssey in the mail, I just returned from the customs office.

Well. I am living in boxes because in two days I will move to a new place. Amps and guitars are packed away. There is no way I can play it before next week.



So yeah.

FINALLY!
