Hey guys,
I am considering switching my Blackout Effectors Whetstone with a Subdecay Baby Quasar.
My reasoning is as such: the Whetstone is expensive and I don't use its extensive features.
I've heard good things about the Baby Quasar. What would you guys say? |

Trust me, you won't regret it!

I got one really wanting to like it because it was so much smaller than my Source Audio Phaser, but it was just too subtle for my tastes. The original Quasar was relatively subtle as well, but the Baby seemed even more so. |

The original Quasar was too subtle to begin with. More subtle would be approaching the pointless.
So many knobs, and so little going on. 
Matt.
BTW why not get a Nano Stone? |

Psilocybe and Grand Orbiter are both thick thick thiiiiiiiiiiiiiick and my kind of pie.
Small Stone Nanos are effin' great, but don't play nice with dirt. Otherwise awesome.
Considering picking up that Empress thingy with one o' dem Black Furday coupons...

Can you actually run it at 18V? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
