I like it much better than the tc electronic offerings but I haven't really had a chance to dial it in or use it with the band. I will on Thursday. So far, though, it hasn't sated the desire for the Ocean Floor pedal...

I want that Sonoran, but I'm also very overspent at the moment due to circumstances.
Might have to sit this one out.

"Circumstances", in this case, means "I'm going to a music festival and I'll be having a nice time", but unfortunately no pedals.
Good news for the owners of Source Audio, I imagine.
I dunno. I think a lot of it depends on how much of Roger and the team from SA they keep; they're what make them special and incredibly innovative.

Finally had a band practice yesterday. Gave a proper spin to these Brough bad boys:
Scorpion ruled as a low gain/dirty boost, Ascalon was awesome as a bit higher gain (might even up the gain from these settings) - both on made the best raunchy distortion tone ever.
Dystopia is the latest addition and one I was most curious about. It. Friggin. Slayed. This thing rips. Tight, gated, aggressive fuzz that can easily turn into a synth-like fuzz just by combining it with Subsonic. Incredible fuzz.
I switched the LED clipping back to SI clipping on Calamity. This way, Dystopia gives me brash, tight, aggressive fuzz tones and Calamity gives me more laid back, darker, rich tones. Gorgeous. Both are just gorgeous.
Got one more thing to sort out on the board - El Cap v2 VS CB Lost+Found. Then, depending on the winner, I can place the HPF or HPF+LPF on the board and it's done. Done! (sure)
If anyone's interested - Chase Bliss B Stock sale is going until the end of Friday and there's still a bunch of L+F available. I think the B-Stock sale is only visible to their newsletter subscribers. So yeah, heads up to those who might be interested.

I’ve got my plan all worked out for tomorrow. If I can’t score a Sonoran in the morning, my local brick and mortar has a Mesa Subway+ Bass DI-Preamp II in stock.
One way or another I’ll be purchasing another preamp pedal that I don’t really need.

That's commitment right there.
Mother of pearl.
Now the gears are turning.
Maybe get one to A/B with the Mesa?
Being a Dave can be rough.

That’s the spirit
YES!
I need someone to compare the Sonoran to a 400+ or 800D (I guess a TT800 will do in a pinch) to confirm that the pedal adds a similar type of phat, aggressive and unapologetic bottom end that I’ve heard in a few online clips.
I do something similar with the Locust Star in LED as the searing lead-type distortion before modulation and the Clam in Silicon as the wall shaker for outros. Those pedals haven't left the board since I got 'em. To think it all started with a Boss ODB-3 like 18 years ago.
