NPsD: Why I will never turn off my Sparkle Motion ever again

It makes your guitar sound real good and it makes any fuzz you play before it sound more gooder. It's like the best thing ever and if I ever get a signature amp it's gonna be built in Sparkle Motion into a one-knob tonestack. I'm never turning it off ever ever again. It makes your strings more separate sounding some crazy how, and the sweep on the EQ knob is wizardry itself. It makes my shitty Memory Toy sound like a wicked grainy delay (probably it's overdriving it a little) and that pleases me.

I got mine from ILFer Colossus and it's the best purchase I ever made in my damn life except for that one time I bought the morning-after pill. I don't know why Brian discontinued this thing, but he should recontinue it and make everyone have one because then al music will be that little bit better sounding. On my moon colony of Moontopia, everyone will be issued one upon arrival.

It arrived today, and so did my Fulltone Ultimate Octave. A little word on the UO: At the moment it's replaced three fuzz pedals on my board, and if it doesn't disappear when the whole band's jamming, it'll stay and the other ones'll be used for recording. It sounds like an angry robot with the flu, and then you turn the octave on it's brittle and glassy and sounds like a busted piano and the octave up's dope. I don't know why Mike discontinued it, but he should recontinue it so some of you guys can have one too.

Here's the chain:

Ultimate Octave > Sparkle Motion > Systech Harmonic Energiser clone > Malekko Spring Chicken > Malekko Vibrato > Memory Toy > Ditto > Splitter > Bassman head and Princeton Reverb.

Happiness can be yours. Sparkle Motion. F'real.

Yes. That's how I feel about the Sparkle Motion too. Except I do turn mine off so I can hear turn on again. It sounds awesome boosting other drives.

I think I even have monkeydancer's old one :3

If I recall correctly, you totes do! Thanks to the relentless GAS that forces me to sell things I love. Which sounds bad but on the balance it's better than not loving fuzz, swings and roudabouts.

I do love my Naga Viper clone. Could anyone elaborate on the differences between the two? The grit knob turns it into a standalone fuzz that sounds great pushing my overdriven amp.

I have a pedal that is a combination of a Sparkle motion -> Fuck OD.
It's super killer.
I love the Sparkle Motion, it just, it sounds, just good.
It's really good.
Good pedal.
