Ever heard of Mars Electronics / Earth City Sound?

Earth City Sound is a US-based Ebay seller. Mars is a Chinese brand of effects that ECS happens to sell.

Any good?

I have the Mars Yesman+ filter; I love it. Check out the different versions at this link on DiscoFreq's site:

I have the one in the middle. The one on the left is the prototype, which is a total Q-Tron+ clone, complete with 24v tip-positive power supply. Mine has envelope and modulation, a cool "Double" mode, but no effects loop. That's cool with me, though; I've found that effects loops tend to take too much personality away from the pedal in the loop (IMO, of course). The "Low Cut" control is very interesting and useful. It runs on a standard 9v tip-negative power supply, and it's built solid. It sells new for about $80, and that's a great deal for what you get. I think the version on the right is the newest one, but I haven't seen it for sale yet.

I have a mini yesman and the space chorus. Both solid units that I am very happy with. It helps that I got them for cheap as well.

i use to own the Mars Electric Pulsating Star which was a decent tremolo. it was a little on the big side but had the always awesome BLUE LED... it did the job until i decided Im not a tremolo person

Anybody tried their compressor?

[bongomania]

I've been waiting for their bass and tube bass comps to show up used. Haven't seen one yet, which probably either means they're good enough to keep, or nobody else has bought a new one either.

For what its worth here's the one I found. Pretty cheap.
