Hmm, getting on 6 weeks, I would contact the dude.

I got mine 2 days ago. Yours is probably on the way. Sounds great!!

I really love the OD on this pedal.

I'll agree with this. It's slightly more versatile and there is definitely more gain on tap. This thing is insane.

That pedal was worth the wait! Great distortion with many options suited for bass.

I sold The Elements to buy the Iron Pig. That gamble paid off big time. The elements is great but holy moly this pedal is awesome, Love it!

Used it tonight live, great tone!

I adore mine. The Supercollider was crazy but the Iron Pig is something to write home about.

Verminaard · #**170** 01-26-2013, 02:58 AM

I've found that it covers the ground of the boss hm-2 and tech 21 xxlb that I've always liked so much. The xxlb being inherently more mid scooped. I also like the overdrive mode setting better, but I like the 308 setting at about 1/2 gain and 1/4 to 1/2 tone. I use it blended or in parallel FWIW.

I am now running mine with a B3K for my band. Can't wait to get this combo into the studio!

DownFromTheSky · #**172** 03-10-2013, 03:24 AM

Anybody wanna sell me one?

DownFromTheSky · #**173** 03-10-2013, 03:25 AM

Or a supercollider

Well well well, My first pedal purchase in a while will see me have an Iron Pig.

I'd still be very interested to see/hear direct comparisons between the Rat Tail and Iron Pig.

Josh Pelican · #**175** 03-22-2013, 03:11 PM

I sold my Rat Tail before I got to do a video, unfortunately. The Iron Pig replaced it and a few other pedals on my board. It is an extremely versatile pedal. I have two different ProCo Rats and I definitely favor the Pig.

Wud · #**176** 03-22-2013, 03:37 PM

Hey Josh,

Was there any inherant sound difference between the Pig and the Tail?
Or was it the extra Gain/Clipping options that the Pig provided that swung the vote that way?
I only ask as I still might get a Rat Tail for the 2nd setting option.

Josh Pelican · #**177** 03-22-2013, 04:12 PM

The few extra options on the Iron Pig makes it more versatile in my honest opinion. The good thing is, not everyone needs said options. I personally dig the additional "bells and whistles" and can use all the options in different settings. You really can't go wrong with either or. Top two Rat clones I've ever heard without a doubt.

You can probably grab an RT for cheaper (and quicker), so maybe going for that is a better option.

Wud · #**178** 03-22-2013, 04:16 PM

Many thanks for the input.
Iron Pig is already ordered, Rat Tail will probably happen, but not for a while yet.

Rat Tail was nice, but Pig's the way to go, I bet you'll dig it.
but having both would be awesome too!
