If I wasn't flat broke I'd order one of the same right now. Very cool!

Very cool, but very expensive. Loving my Echo600...looking forward to more mad Malekko's.

Neat. Does Adam Jones have as many guitarist fanboys that Justin Chancellor has in bass-dumb?

I love Malekko, though mostly because of the 600 Dark. The B:Assmaster sounds weird, stupid, and harsh alone but WHOA BABY does it rule in a mix. The only gripe I have is that the volume controls have to be set extremely low to match my clean volume. Not that I mind overpowering my band every time I step on The Pink Ass, but sometimes they do. Sometimes.

I don't really care for the new Limited Editions, they will look identical sitting on your board for an additional $80, but woah mamma I would seriously consider that a worthy upgrade for those sold out and tripped out ones below.

Prefer the Swankbox versions, especially at the same price. Any idea if he's going to do a Swankbox Germ?

The one I currently own is a Swankbox "cataract" finish (red/orange).

I (in theory) have a germ version on the way... so sad to see I'll not have an expression pedal!

I'm gassing for one but not sure which one to get.

You could solder a switching phone jack to the pads for the sensitivity pot, and get yourself a cc pedal...should work. Its kinda the interstellar overdrive trick.
