Members Aaron SS Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 Feast your eyes on todays haul ladies I won't bore you with a long post that about 2% of the people that read this thread will respond to but here are my initial impressions...The Earthbound Audio Supercollider is one hell of a muff derivative - heavy, versatile, cutting, just about anything you could want from a muff. Having owned a bunch of muffs/muff type pedals I can say that this one lands near the top of all of them. Next up is the El Cap which was the "hyped pedal that I wanted to try but didn't really have the urge to buy" for me but in all honesty, it lives up to the hype. Instant gratification with minimal tweaking and the range and versatility will only get better when I make a favorite switch later tonight. This one might be here to stay. Last but certainly not least is the pedal that I somehow won from the BOTB Raffle/PGS (I don't win anything....ever) , the Black Arts Toneworks Black Forest. If you haven't watched the PGS video on this pedal you really should. It has a huge amount of versatility and range from overdriven sounds to fuzz with massive lowend. The tone shape knob has a ton of range but I find my 2 favorite settings to be at the 3rd position for a more open crunchy rhythm sound with lighter overdrive and higher output and the last position with the gain cranked for a full on fuzz assault on my Orange AD30. Extremely happy with these and hugely appreciative of everyone involved in BOTB and PGS for the awesome prize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members claytonjohn18 Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 All 3 of those pedals are bitchin'. Especially the Black Forest. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vidret Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 that's so awesome man, congratz on everything! if you have a buffer pedal, try it right before the black forest and set the depth to 4, it's absolutely soul-crushing.

My only slight frustration has been accessing the "hidden" controls. Seems strange to have them setup like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jordanjordan Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 That is quite the npd. You could make a really fun board with just those three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 Congrats on the El Cap, it's one of my favorite delays ever. I'm running synths through it right now since I can't convince myself to buy a real tape echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members triviani Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 Isn't the Capistan too much "chorus-y" sounding? For what I hear on demos everything sounds so clear that feels like a chorus is on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dap99 Posted December 6, 2011 Members Share Posted December 6, 2011 Sweet score still love my El Cap. I want a versatile Muff derivative. I have a "Mayo-spec'd" on a bread board which sounds decent, but I need to do some work w/ the tone knob. A way - awesome haul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what I hear on demos everything sounds so clear that feels like a chorus is on.. I personally really like the chorusy modulation but even if you don't it's really easy to dial it out if it's not your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArrMatey Posted December 6, 2011 Members Share Posted December 6, 2011 Congrats on all 3 of them. Welcome to the capistan club and god knows I'd love to have one of those supercolliders! Don't know much about the 3rd pedal, it looks awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
