The elements!

Drummer turned songwriter/guitarist here ;). Recently started expanding my pedals and a long time friend suggested the elements pedal as a be all end all distortion pedal. Anywho after begging for a while, he lent it to me and I love it so much I don't want to give it back. I'm not super knowledgeable and just learning really, when it comes to pedals, but I can't imagine ever wanting anything else. That being said, I have to give the pedal back! So I'm here dually. #1 to send my thanks for making such a rad pedal, and #2 to find out if you have any "seconds" of the elements pedal for sale on January 29th which is my birthday. Huge fan of the black one with aincent symbols and beige with the gears. But ultimately it is really "what it does" that makes it truly stand out.

That's totally awesome, I have an elements as well, and it's my go-to low-and-medium gain distortion pedal.

But you probably should put this in the Dr Scientist forum, you'll probably get more germane replies.

Ryan runs birthday specials as well as offering the occasional discounted blem. Those finishes you mentioned are older tho, maybe you can find one used...

Everyone says this in the beginning. You'll see how it really is if you stick around awhile. ;)

That's what my buddy tells me as well, who has a behemoth of a pedalboard! He says with my mind I'll probably build a modular synthesizer with my guitar pedals !

And so the board begins......

An all elements board might be interesting. One set to fuzz, one set to high gain distortion, one as a clean boost. I love mine but I do find some of the more purpose built pedals get closer to what I want. It's staying on the board though!
