Members IRG Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 I thought the Shape Shifter was quite good, very good value overall. Didn't find it sterile at all. It was quite large though. I had the fuzz too, really bad sounding pedal to me. But I bet if I tried it again, I could find some good tones in it.I think their tube pedals were good ideas in general, but replacing the tubes I recall hearing, were quite different. I think you had to send them in to be replaced, they didn't use something simple to find. I think their size and price were overall turn offs, compared to what else is out there.

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Originally Posted by Inspector 71 I like the idea of the small tubes in there tube pedal series. I have not tried one out though.

They use a 6021 tube. Those are sub-miniature, and don't use sockets like the 9-pin 12A-7 series - so yes, you do have to solder them in, but outside of concerns about lifting a PCB trace, they're usually not all that difficult to replace. They were designed originally for use in the proximity fuse of an artillery shell, so they're designed to take 20,000 G (not a typo), and they'll probably outlast you or me. At least in typical microphone / guitar pedal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Van_Muddlestein Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 The Shape Shifter Trem is one of the best and most versatile trems I've ever heard. The Deja Vu is amazing sounding and also incredibly versatile. If the Tweak Fuzz didn't have such a HUGE volume drop it'd be one of my favorite fuzz pedals ever if only for it's wide range of good tones.

Members megawzrd Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 I had the Dejavu. It sounded great but too many options for me that I didn't need. The tap tempo function was about the only thing that made me think about keeping it. I did hear that the loop it has can be interesting. I will stick with my carbon copy.

Even with the treble dimed, it sort of eq'ed out "the bell tone" on my strat. I've read this complaint from others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
