Questions

  • What's a tube based distortion pedal you have or you think might be worth buying?

  • What would be a good site / reddit sub / forum / Youtube channel / whatever to check? I'm going to check Reverb tonight when I have time.

Skippable boring details

The thumb is for this COMING SOON: Audiode Overdrive / Distortion Pedal - Curious Audio

Curious Audio is run by a couple of lefties and the pedal intrigued me but there are issues. The pedal is more than I want to spend. The site lists the price as "$379.00 $289.00". I dont know if they are actually still making the damn thing. The apparently sold five. They were supposed to have a Youtube vide up around September. But now they removed any mention of that. Also - I emailed them a follow up question 3 months ago and they never replied.

I shouldn't have wasted my time but this morning I emailed them again. I broke a simple but very useful rule I have. If a business doesn't reply promptly - I should never do business with them. And it's not like there aren't loads of other pedal options.

    Nice! Sounds like you're just missing a sub-octave in there. Personally, between finding a used one for fairly cheap and this goddamned video, I ended up snagging one because it's one of those setups that should pair well with a synthesizer and a tape echo for something I can only describe as Blue Cheer/Pink Floyd-adjacent chucklefuckery.

    The Rainbow Machine, though... Yeah. Not getting one of those unless a Korg Miku Stomp falls into my lap one day. Then I might not have a choice. https://streamable.com/2nflmq
