Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 It's pretty good. damn. A lot of hype around this pedal......still......it certainly stands up to most of that hype. It sounds good, is ultimately flexible, and built very well (cool looking glass led).Need to play with it more, but it may even boot my Supercollider off the board.

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 How much did that set you back? The only thing that puts me off about Dr. Scientist pedals is the price. They sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t-rey Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 Very nice. The Elements is definitely on my short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Villano Dude Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 The Elements is definitely versatile man, you can get a crazy amount of sounds from that one box. Although the Dr. Scientist stuff is definitely pricey, he's usually super chill about answering questions if you have issues and the pedals themselves are really well built in addition to offering a ton of tonal flexibility.

For what they are, they're worth it.......I mean it's everything from a clean boost, EQ, low to high gain..........fuzz, OD, and distortion type sounds.

Members Holy Schnikes Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 ^ You Euro bros need to have a Stateside pal/forumite purchase and ship for you, avoid some of the fees involved. I've sent a handful of pedals to my friends in Germany and they def spend less money that way. Oh, and yeah, The Elements is SICK! Love mine.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 I still like my Bogner Red as my main dirty sound, but I think the Elements will help add a little variety. It's really amazing how different and awesome it can sound. If I were still playing stoner downtuned stuff, the elements would definitely be my first choice for fuzz-like distortion. Another thing......the clips and demos don't do too much justice for this pedal. It's weird.....sounds great in person, but the demos don't really showcase it.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have yet to come across any pedal, amp, or gear that was too complicated. I don't really understand people's fear of knobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand people's fear of knobs? i think he was joking bro its nice to have lots of knobs and things to fiddle with, like the elements and a Whetstone. allows you to get tons of different sounds. however my problem is that i just end up tweaking way too much and playing around with it and can never settle on a setting. let go of both my elements and whetstone even though i quite liked them. there's a reason pedals like the phase 90, dyna comp, or rangemaster are such classics.

Cliff Fiscal is a serious d00d , and don't call him bro. Hmmm......constantly diddling knobs isn't a problem for me. I find the the flexibility keeps me from dicking around, and allows me to get exactly what I'm looking for quickly.......rather than being unable to get what I need from one or two knobs. If you're looking for classics...........well, I guess you should stick with those then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted December 19, 2012 Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 and i agree, if a 1 knob pedal won't get you what you want, then there's no point in that. which is why i settle for a nice 3 knob boss ph-1r in my phaser search. a perfect medium between a 1 knob phase 90 and a 20 knobswitch whetstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand people's fear of knobs? HNPD! I've been interested in the Elements for a varied dirt tone to my OCD and Rat and its seems like it could cover a lot of ground. I can relate to people not wanting a lot of knobs, I find myself tweaking it every time I stomp on it. I don't like that, even though it many settings may sound good, too many options polarizes me.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2012 yeah, I suppose that's just a matter of personality. I've never tried the whetstone, but it looks right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like those two pedals, you'd definitely like the Elements.......in the same genre, imo. The only negative to having too many good sound and too many good options in one pedal, is that you'd have to buy another to utilize contrasting settings. I could easily see having 2 Elements on a board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily see having 2 Elements on a board. exactly. thats how i felt about mine too, i'd need one for lower gain stuff and one for higher gain stuff with different tone/bass settings. not unlikely that i will acquire another one some day or it needs some presets somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
