I had no idea that existed.

Now I know I want one  :)

So it will play nice with line level equipment?

I think this has been traced in FSB.

me either. I just happened to stumble on it the other day.

Yes, it will play nice with line/instrument level stuff. You can also use it for reamping, as well as having an instrument feed two different effects chains and crossfade between them using an expression pedal.

It's pricey but I was able to find it used for $200

I have been looking for something like this forever and was actually surprised that there isn't more out there like this.

now you tell me.... :'(

...nah, this thing is built better than anything I could have done so no regrets there. I don't really follow new pedal companies but some of their other stuff seemed cool too.

Any thoughts on pigtronix stuff?

As far as I understand, Pigtronix guys are cool. I love some of their designs and they are not afraid to say what these are based on when they are based on something.

i was able to pick up an echolution 2 on the cheap recently and really, really like it. a bit of a different flavor from some of the other popular digital delay units out there. their service has been great too, even though i bought mine used. i liked it so much that i went with their infinity looper when i wanted to step up from the ditto i had on my board. both pedals are rock solid and offer pretty unique sounds/features.

tl;dr: thumbs up for pigtronix.

There is no peAk, there is only Zuul!

Sorry, but a name like that is asking for it ;)

I found the Cat Girl Synth CGS59 (or 60, I forget) Stomp Box Adaptor to work well.

Actually, Peak is my last name.  8)

couldn't find on the site what you were talking about but seemed like some cool stuff there.

You built anything from there?

This 'un. Wound up replacing the 470R with a 5K pot to get a big range, though.
