Members The Villano Dude Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 Why should I bite on a Mayflower or Voyager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nomenclature Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 if you think it sounds good and fits your needs? I have a voyager, I dig it though the mid hump can be a bit much. I wanted something low gain, but it's way more low gain than I was expecting so now I'm thinking of adding something with a touch more that I can stack with the voyager for more options. apparently it's a lot like a klon. but like $100 less.

Members The Villano Dude Posted November 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 Nice. I have yet to try either but one of each were listed on the local CG so I figured I would ask here to see what the thoughts are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Villano Dude Posted November 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 Is the Iron Horse worth holding out for? I kind of like the "in-between" aspect of the Mayflower. I might bite tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members delayed delay Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 Voyager: klone - I know this with certainty. Mayflower: Timmy clone - allegedly anyway. Iron Horse: Rat clone? What I've heard. And yes, they look cool... But the Voyager is far from an original design, and the same with the Mayflower. Obviously the term "original" doesn't really apply anymore when it comes to overdrives, but to give no credit is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BHz_econo Posted November 22, 2012 Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 I did not care for the mayflower at all. It may just be my setup but i thought is the most boring overdrive ever. I REALLY wanted a voyager but mine arrive DOA. They were all sold out though so i never got a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Villano Dude Posted November 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2012 Interesting James, I may steer clear of the Mayflower then. If the Iron Horse is based on a Rat, I might steer clear too (not that I don't like Rat's, I just have a regular and Deucetone which I am happy with). So Voyager eh?

The Voyager is just a Klon clone; if you want that, I recommend saving a few bucks and buying one through either ARC Effects (Aaron SS on here), or Blakemore Effects, because at least they're honest about it being a Klone.

Thanks man, I have had multiple interaction with Aaron and Blake and would rather give them my business if I have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Holy Schnikes Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you think you want an Iron Horse, get an Earthbound Audio Iron Pig instead. Skip the Voyager too, letdown IMO. Mini {censored} OD is a far more versatile and badass sounding option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they look awesome I guess. ...I've only played the Voyager, and while it sounded good, it sounded exactly like the other 2 Klones I've played; good, just nothing special.There's a lot of P&W players I know who are more concerned about how their pedals look than who made them, build quality, and yes, sound quality. You could rehouse a Timmy in a Boss enclosure, and they'd HATE it; they'd say it sounds nothing like the original.. But paint it all pretty and it just sounds better. Don't get me wrong, as I like my pedals and board to look neat, but the paint job is hardly a primary issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Fuck OD is a far more versatile and badass sounding option. So I checked out the Iron Pig. WTF?That sounded awefull. Iron Horse way better, IMO.I have a Voyager. I wish I hadn't bought it. My rig sounds better with it off and it hums too.Love this demo of the Iron Horse though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members openwater Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 I just bought the Jupiter, it should be here tomorrow. If I get another overdrive it will be the Voyager though, I really like what I've heard from them but I have a JHS Superbolt still backordered from BlackFriday.

Members IRG Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 I demoed the Voyager for PGS, I liked it, but mostly as a cleanish booster, too much mids for my Vox amp, might be perfect for a Fender though. I own the Mayflower and love it. I've heard Paul C say it is not the same as his design, so I could be wrong, but I don't think it's a clone. I have the Lovepedal OD11 on my board next to the Mayflower right now, I've heard the OD11 is also a Timmy clone, but don't know if this is true. It doesn't sound the same as the Mayflower, less compressed, but I prefer the Mayflower overall. Just is perfect for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
