EHX Satisfaction Plus ≈ DOD Carcosa ≈ EHX Ripped Speaker ≈ EQD Terminal ≈ DE Torn's Peaker? Which one's different one is?

How different might the Satisfaction Plus be from the Carcosa? Are they just the same hexapod?

This is the sort of misogynistic crap they love at The Gear Page. Why not go there with it and never return?

My bad. Think I should delete?

Good topic, I miss my Torn's Peaker. I don't think any of those others really stick to the original TP circuit, which I would settle for a clone of over something that is not like the original, as it is a pretty unique circuit. Carcosa and Satisfaction Plus are both insanely good though, and I have been bitten by the vintage bug of late, getting gassy for every fuzzrite, scrambler, buzzaround, beebaa, zonkmachine etc I lay eyes on anymore...

isn't EHX's Devi-alike the Ripped Speaker? not even subtle about it.

[Gone Fission]

I suppose it could be Devi-ish given the similarities of EHX’s LPB-1/Muff stage building block to the Electra distortion and Bazz Fuss blocks that are recombined and abused in most Devi stuff. But I had seen a stage-by-stage that seemed more like a deviation on a Big Muff (or really more like the Muff-ish Colorsound Tonebender). But I dunno, demos weren’t doing it for me.

Satisfaction (original and Plus) are Bosstones, Carcosa is an FZ-1S inspired thing (and the S is important), and the Terminal is based on the Companion fuzz. So different though it may be possible for you to pull similar sounds between them.

i was going to say that the three really don't sound that much alike.

[Warpsmasher]

Yeah I don't know about that ripped speaker. The additional controls just make me feel like it's neutered in some way.

Cool. Thanks for the circuit references. I enjoy the Carcosa a lot lately. Yet a bass demo or two got my gas rising toward the Satisfaction Plus... The controls seem functionally identical... DE TP is older love, but I'm curious... I got a Hyperion I modded to switch among Dark Boost - Hyperion - 33...

I am really happy since swapping out the Cock Fight Plus for the box version. The fuzz is very vintage flavored, sounds nothing like a muff and a lot like Maestro/Fuzzrite; supposedly it's based on the Holy Stain fuzz though, which is a fuzzface. Also found out through youtube comments that there is a dipswitch inside to disengage the wah and make it fuzz only.

The ever-shameless (but at least they have good taste) Demon FX has a clone of the Fuzz Factory 7 now...I'd probably check out some devi clones if start making them, and I would absolutely love a miniaturized TP or Soda Meiser too.

i wouldn't say no to an affordable Shoegazer, but i don't need one badly enough to hunt it down.
