I love my Linden, but that's as far as I'll go right now. In fact, I put a board together intentionally not having more than one of any brand pedal.

mm. My board has two Boss, four EHX, and five other pedals. So yea, I'm kind guilty of EHX addiction, given I'd actually like to try other pedals from them, and can easily envision an all-EHX pedalboard (would sorely miss the LS-2 and VT Bass, tho).

I like what I like. I don't care who makes it. With that said. I have 2 EHX pedals, 4 Boss pedals, 1 MoogerFooger pedal, and 1 Digitech pedal.

I'm 'addicted' (thoroughly impressed with the design, build and sound quality, and overall vibe) of Pigtronix pedals, but the Barber TonePress is a compressor that might compete with the philosopher's tone for me.

(I've read the 'that pedal is no good on bass' thread) - a boutique compressor with a clean blend, reasonably priced, pedalboard friendly size, made by a small company with integrity.

Glad you've found something you like, irvinz.

How do you like the LTD? I demo'd one in the store and it sounded great

Mr. Pickles · #9 10-21-2009, 10:16 AM

LTD Silver works well for me for light OD to full out grind. It's not quite like an overdriven tube amp, but I like the sonic flavor nonetheless. There are internal pots for bass and presence. Like most ODs it brings out the upper mids and adds some bite to the top which is blanced/complimented by the Linden EQ. I don't often use the Tone Press, but it's there should I need it.

Thats what I got too, except mine was in a black case with gold/yellow lettering

Well. Wounded Paw is THE MAN IMHO. I've got 2 4-channel mini mixers from him (1 passive for large volumous stereo signals [aka headphones] and 1 active one for my bass rig), and have owned 2 Attack Goats.

I almost bought a Battering Ram, but got a TLSF from the classifieds instead.

On top of that, Im still very tempted to get a HM-2 made by him with some mods to the signal chain.
