Ok, I sent an email.
Hopefully I can get it, it's in a small shop far away from the center of Tokyo that does not accept modern forms of payment so I'll have to do a bank transfer or something if nobody snatched it before me. I thought I could just pay for it online, no such luck.

Send one of your retainers over to pay them with an appropriate number of kokus of rice.oscillateur wrote:... it's in a small shop far away from the center of Tokyo that does not accept modern forms of payment...

You should get it. I have three of their pedals and they are insane (thoroscillator, and the two fucked up delays) Comparatively speaking they are not "that" expensive. I would call dibs if you chose to flip but I am covered in all the realms that pedal covers. Albeit not with jumpers which should be awesome.oscillateur wrote:Ok, so if I act quickly I have a chance to buy the new MASF pedal (Ordo, the boost/od/dist/[gated]fuzz/octave fuzz with a 3 stages waveshaper and jumpers on the PCB to choose which knob affects what, plus trimmers to tweak too) for a nice price, but there are no videos anywhere yet of this one. If I wait until tomorrow it'll probably be too late.
I guess I could always flip it here if I don't like it...
Still, not sure what to do (but I know what you'll all say so I might just be looking for validation here)

I got one on EBay for $36. That was during my phase of putting stupidly low 'max offers' and winning most of the time. I bought this one boss chorus for like $20 and just gave it to a friend cause it had stereo outs. What a good time...weebles wrote:Got a DD-5 incoming!

My Shoe Pedals Pixel and 314 arrived in the mail! The Pixel is badassss. Most authentic chip-tune/old videogame-y synth sounds I've ever heard in a pedal. Also, the 314 is one of the best big muffs I've ever heard. I went on a ridiculous muff binge this year and the 314 is easily one of my favs. Admittedly, I was getting a little tired of the typical muff sound, but the 314 has something to it. Not a lot of gain, but definitely a lot of character. Time to look more into Shoe Pedals.

What flavor of Big Muff is it descended from?

It's a Violet Ram's Head, but it has some off the cuff transistors and some cool voicing options. Here's what V from Shoe Pedals had to say:D.o.S. wrote:What flavor of Big Muff is it descended from?
"Yes, these purple sparkle ones with the vintage parts are indeed limited. I actually don't know of another source of the diodes used in it other than this box I inherited (they may have actually been a prototype of some kind), and I am also not sure how long the supply of these transistors will remain available.
However, I have been testing out modern production replacements in anticipation of this and I'm quite happy with the substitutes I've come up with. So, once I can no longer use the vintage parts, I will continue making them with the substitute parts.
I actually swore I would never make a Muff type fuzz years ago but came into a bunch of vintage parts (some of which are apparently prototypes) from a customer whose father used to work for an electronics testing company.
So, i decided to make something vintage-inspired with as many of those parts as possible but with my own voicing and control choices. I have to say, I'm glad I decided to do that because it's also a really satisfying pedal to make since I love testing them afterwards."
I grabbed it on a PGS discount and wasn't expecting much, but it's really damn good. To give some context, I have some Skreddys and Stomp Under Foot Classics and this is definitely up there.

Yeah, Shoe Pedals is good stuff. Seems he left the shark tank, though.

I've still got GAS for a Shoe Frog and a Spitvalve.Re: What is in the post? The thread of and for GAS!

Ah, I never knew he was on here. I may check out the Frog next as it could be fun to blend with other fuzzes. Off topic, but I dig your videos.Eivind August wrote:Yeah, Shoe Pedals is good stuff. Seems he left the shark tank, though.
Almost grabbed a Phantom Arcade because of you. Would love to put it against the Pixel!Edit:

Getting StrangeTales' Echo Degrader with a switchable effects loop in the mail today 
This'll be my first IE pedal, and I doubt it'll be my last.

Definitely check out a Wolf Computer if you get the chance. It's the progenitor of Shoe's Silver Apple, which in turn sort of evolved into the Pixel, if I remember correctly. And yeah, the Phantom Arcade is another great one for those videogamey toanz. And we all know that those toanz are the ones we in truth seek.

Very cool. My Muff search ended when Schlatte built me a one-off for ILFSS but it's still my all time favorite fuzz variant, I think.hotknife wrote:It's a Violet Ram's Head, but it has some off the cuff transistors and some cool voicing options.
