Members dimibetan Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 Anyone who still have or tried this? This one is kinda cool... Do you know any stompbox similar to this? Article from NoiseGuide.com: A really cool stomp box for noise with knobs for Level, Tone, Dist(Distortion). The best feature is it's ability to generate feedback when the footswitch is depressed and held. This kicks in the "Superfeedbacker", and the tone of the feedback is set with the Overtone knob. The name of this pedal was changed by Boss from "Super Distortion & Feedbacker" when a lawsuit was brought against them by DiMarzio, Inc. for using the name "Super Distortion" which is a registered trademark for a guitar pickup.

Members TheGareth Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 Line 6 Dr Distorto might be similiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Killing Nevada Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 i got one off here for a friend, he loves it. it does have volume loss tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members homestar_kevin Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 I just sold mine. It's a bad ass pedal. The feedback doesn't sound like feedback at all but it's just cool noises. Definitely a sick pedal to have to glitch around on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have one. I can't see ever getting rid of it. It's only really good for the sustained harmonic (the distortion sucks IMO), and the harmonic never gets very loud, but it's super fun to play around with. I've heard that the Distorto is similar. Also, Behringer makes a copy (though it can be rather hard to find). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 what kind of harmonic does it loop (i presume?) does it depend on what you play or do you tune the pitch with a knob? does the harmonic move/evolve or just keep a constant note?

Members stanner Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 i still have mine-i think they should have called it a 'sustainer'.it does that more realistically then 'feedback'.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It generates a harmonic based on what note you're playing when you press it down, only you never know for sure what is going to come out. You can tune the pitch with the far right knob somewhat, but sometimes what comes out is a genuine surprise (it's glitchy). The harmonic isn't supposed to move/evolve (that's one area I really think could be improved, but I doubt we'll ever get a reissue/update), but there is a sort of lo-fi wavering to it and it does seem to grow a bit as you hold down the pedal.

Members justinhedrick Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 Matt Talbott from Hum uses one. Although I don't think he ever used the feedbacker function. I think the distortion circuit is just a DS1. right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to get one for under $100 if you're patient. I got mine last January for $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members friction Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 I had one. I dug it but found myself using it less and less as time went on. Distortion's not bad at all, feedback is cool, but it's got its place. Sometimes if you don't time it right the feedback will come out at a different pitch, but overall it's cool.

Members CompleteGuitard Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have one. It is pure, unadulterated cheese. Its a ridiculous effect, but I will never get rid of mine either. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Danox3 Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 The bassist in my old Industrial Metal band back in the mid 90's used one. Made a really cool "drone" note, and the dirt sounded pretty good on bass, albeit a little anemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really the last one on my list of pedals to get a hold of so I can sound more like Trey. actually, mine is the "super distortion feedbacker" and I got it for $75 this year. There was a guy selling one on the spam thread a couple of weeks back for $85 (though I think that was a "super feedbacker distortion"). Regardless of the name, you shouldn't have to pay more than $85-$125 for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members friction Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 It was only a few weeks ago where there was me and at least two others trying to off DF-2's in the spam thread. I eventually traded it, but I had it up there for at least a month before I got a bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Naterel Posted November 20, 2008 Members Share Posted November 20, 2008 Its an alright pedal, it has a volume loss tho on some. The "feedbacker" option was ok, but you had to turn step on it twice to turn it off cause when you hold it down for the effect you take your foot off and its on dirt. So its double the hassle for ufo noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
