Anybody got any of their stuff? The 'Philosophers Tone' compressor sounds fantastic.
 
I have two of their pedals....the Attack Sustain and the EP1 Envelope Phaser.

The EP1 is really sweet, you can do all kinds of phase/envelope/rotary style FZ with it. I have with a couple of mods, so it's even more versatile.

The Attack Sustain can do some basic sustain stuff...but when you throw in the attack/decay options...it too is very versatile for a single pedal.

Plus...they just sound good...not some wimpy/crappy tones.
I'm definitely want to get the Echolution and the Philosopher's Tone.
 
Yeah man, I have the Disnortion and the Mothership. I snagged the Disnortion at winter NAMM '06 as a prototype. Its a great pedal. The Mothership pedal is crazy, you'd have to youtube it to really hear all the sounds and see how it works.
 
I had a couple of chances to get the Mothership at a decent price...but I wasn't sure how useable it would be in more typical styles of music.

I mean...it sure DOES make some cool sounds, but how much have you been able to actually incorporate it into every day playing/recording...etc?
What's your detailed opinion on it?

I just don't want to have a really cool "novelty" pedal just sitting on a shelf :D ...though I bet it would fit in really well with electronic/ambient styles of music.
 
"If it sounds right, it is right!" Hey man i dig your interpretation of music. Which kinda leads me into the Mothership.

I had a chance to snag it at a good price and its #0008 (i'm a bit of a collector). Back to the "if it sounds right, it is right" i am all about having a stockpile of crazy stuff (guitar related or not) sitting around for just that one special sound. I have had this pedal for about 1.5 years and in that time period I have used it for 0 tunes that we have recorded. So in 1.5 years and 3 albums this pedal has been sitting in a box, but i know what it can do and when i pull it out and use it just once, it will be worth every penny.

Man this is a difficult question to answer. I love it for all the wrong reasons. Its a guitar pedal, its almost unusable (for everyday situations), its got TONS of knobs and switches labeled things that only electrical engineers can understand, its hand painted (by the same artist that painted my zvex pedals) and the owner of the company is a great dude that loves his job. So you think he will hire me as his sales rep?
