I'm seriously considering purging some gear to get a PhoTron if I can dig up some more info on it... All the little extras (expression, fx loop, GHOST WAH) sound pretty awesome.
These are kinda blowing my mind. Once I started noticing Catalinbread and Fulltone and Zvex and Devi and this board, I began thinking that these were all the interesting companies...now I realize I should keep looking.
Mario is a cool dude and is very open to doing custom stuff. Lots of guys over at Talkbass have gotten stuff from him and they all sing his praises. The Photron is an MS-20 filter clone with a ton of options.
Great , just when I had tit narrowed down to a handful of required pedals for my rig, I see this ... well there's another hour or so sorting through wav samples and such... mmmmm , like sex , but trying to choose in a harem. laughter , love/hate. one of everything please ! more laughter.
If a pedal on my board feels ashamed, it needs to find a new home.

I bought a pulse synth from him a couple years ago, kept me updated thru the whole build process. Had no issues with him, seemed like a cool guy
What is your take on the pulse synth?
well, I don't have it anymore.
I never really got along with it, didn't like the sound from the start. In the right application it would be cool but it wasn't at all what I was looking for at the time. Nothing against the builder or the pedal itself, it was just something I should have looked into more before I bought it.
Soundwise it was similar to a disaster fuzz or ultralord without the oscillation, def a synthy, pinched sounding fuzz. I did record something with it, if you go here - http://lintybits.rpmchallenge.com/ and listen to the tune 207 on the first album (Ridden) it's on the guitar and oscillator.
