NPD: EQDs

[edipo]

I just got the Hummingbird and the Dream Crusher. They seem great but I'll wait till I really play with them live so I can say something useful.

Neat, I have a White Light. All of their stuff is pretty sweet. I really want a Ghost Echo and a Bit Commander. And a Sea Machine. And a Hoof. I pretty much want their whole line.

I'm digging the pedal line from the youtube videos. Hope to get a Speaker Cranker this year.

What do you think about the White Light?

Finally I have a good amount of concerts with both the Dream Crusher and the Hummingbird. I think I'm off the honeymoon phase.

I use a J Mascis Squier thru the Dream Crusher, EHX Microsynth, MXR Blue Box, Zvex super-duper, Distortron, Hummingbird and a Boss RV-3 to whatever amp I have on the venues. This one is my "experimental" board, as i also have a "classic rock" one.

First of all, the hummingbird is exactly what i expected it to be. The ramp down tremolo was something i was seeking since i started using the microsynth. The work really well together in emulating (obviously) synth sounds. The level control is really nice to have and it can drive the amp pretty well. The only negative side to the pedal is that it could get slower.

On the other hand, the dream crusher is not what i expected but much more. I've never had a fuzz face but despite of that, i don't find the DC close to it. I don't know. It does clean up pretty well but it is much thicker in my opinion. A very good surprise! It's hard not to step on it for leads. The only downside i noticed is that it does get a little muddy on the neck pickup. Maybe i still have to work more with it and the amps, but i wish i could use it more for sustainy, slow stuff. Maybe what i want is a big muff…

Well, Earthquaker Devices, congratulations, they're both incredible pedala,

Everyone should have at least 1 Muff in their collection.

That is true. I do have some Devi Evers: rocket and soda meiser. They're both supposed to be muffs, right?

[smoss469]

Not 100% sure on Devi's designs. A lot of people say some of her pedals are in the Muff territory, but I don't know how true that is. I do know some of her pedals (2 knobs mainly) seem to be the SAME circuit with only minor changes based on the PCB's and Vero layouts I've looked at.
