I know how much I hate waiting for pedals so I decided to wait until there are a few in stock at Prymaxe or somewhere. Earthbound is a one man operation so I could forgive the build time but I would have a hard time with lack of communication.

I ordered my pig September 2nd. Nearly three months and still no pedal. I know it was stated that original intents were to ship second week of October but that has long been past with very little communication with clients. I hope this thing shows up soon and Mark doesn't go Ziebek on us here...

It probably hasn't shipped yet. He'll let you know when it does.

Wow Josh, I am impressed with your fortune telling.

Just a few minutes ago I got an email from mark saying that my Iron Pig has shipped and should be showing up on my doorstep either tomorrow or Thursday.

I try my best.

Hope you enjoy it, dude. Since I'm up here in Canada, I have a longer wait.

Hopefully mine will be coming soon since I also ordered mine on Sept 2. I want to blame Canada for my long wait too!

Iron Pig #008 showed up on my doorstep today. I was able to spend about 10 minutes with it and so far I am in love. It's a beast of a pedal and does the Rat thing perfect (which is expected) but I am also liking the other tones it can do.

It was a long wait but in the end well worth it!

Still no email or pedal for me.

My old Supercollider I stupidly traded a few months back arrived though.

Is anyone legitimately worried they won't receive their iron pig or just sick of the wait?
Cause i'm really wanting one of these or should I hold off?

That's what I figured.
Now, what's cooler black and yellow or orange and black.
I can't decide

Ya I tried to get on the special run of black on blacks the day it was announced but they were gone so it took me like 2 days to figure out what color I wanted. lol I went with the green and black to match my Supercollider.

I got mine yesterday, haven't had a chance to get groovy with it though, work has been killing me lately.

Oh, and it went straight through customs - I LOVE it when that happens!

Really guys, no real reviews yet?! We've all waited this long for the pig to surface, and nothing?! I'm a bit disapointed to say the least. I'm on the next run so I'll have to be patient. But come on and post something enlightening. How does it compare to a rat tail, for instance... Thanks as always.

Sorry guys, I've been slacking on you.

Initial thoughts after a few rounds with the pig:
Good lord this is a heavy feeling and well built box. Constriction feels very stout. Paint and graphics are high quality and controls are well laid out. The led is a mid bright one so no blinded retinas here.
Sounds, this thing has a pretty good amount of them. I haven't had the chance to run it in a full band yet but it doesn't feel like it would get lost in a mix. The rat side of the pedal is mean and LOUD. Not uncontrollably loud though. There is a fair size jump in volume between the rat settings and the GI,SI, & LED settings though, you will have to adjust gain structure to compensate.

If I have time today ill throw together a video review. Pictures at the least.
