You might be surprised/impressed at how much the depth does and interacts with the gain. It makes for versatility.

Received shipping notification yesterday from Magic. ODB should arrive on Monday!
This is good to know. I remembered ordering the ODB from the last preorder but I didn't remember preordering the 3knob Cthulhu, lol. I did send Magic an email asking if they will ship together, that was before I saw this post. I did also preorder a DA120 from the last drop,I hope I don't have to wait for all 3. If I do then it is what it is, all good. I'll wait and see what they have to say.
Modded HM-2 in the classifieds. Not affiliated.
I got a shipping notice for my ODB even though I also have a HM-2 preordered. On Magic's instagram they said there was a delay with the DA120 cases, so hopefully you're not waiting too much longer.
I'm putting up my VT I got here a while back, just getting my $ back figured I'd drop a line here first - works great - and gone! If anyone knows a overdriver PM me -

I received a response from Magic. He said he is out of office till late next week and usually all 3 would ship at the same time but he will ship out the ODB and 3 Knob Cthulhu when he returns. All good. I'm glad I saw that thread and sent the message. I was unaware of the delay on the DA120 enclosures. Good things come to those who wait. I am expecting a preorder from Iron Ether next month as well. A couple of these I completely forgot I ordered so it's like a late Christmas.
I am glad you posted this. I will have to email and request the same.
Just got confirmation my completed pedals will also ship out when Magic returns.
I guess I lucked out because these showed up today.
Spent an hour or so messing around with them so I'll give my first impressions.
Before I start gushing about how great they are I have to mention the knob application. On both pedals they were pressed down far enough to be difficult to move (the mids knob on the ODB was especially bad). My Witchfinder also had this issue but with only one knob. This is easily fixed by loosening the screw and moving the knob up the shaft slightly but it seems to be an odd issue when you consider just how much care he takes with all the other aspects of the pedal.
But I'm here for great sounding dirt and these deliver.
Cthulhu: This is probably premature but, I'll be selling some of my other fuzzes for sure. The Fuzz texture is great through the whole sweep and the depth provides plenty of variety. It makes me wish there was a smooth depth sweep on the few other pedals I have with just a Rotary or switch. Sounded just as good at lower gains as it did being boosted. Its a winner.
ODB: I was directly comparing it to the Lil Fella both at 18v. The ODB seems naturally brighter and slightly more aggressive in the best ways, but they could get to be tonally similar with EQ adjustments. The ODB almost felt like a supped up ultra version of the Lil Fella with extra bells and whistles. And running the ODB into my Volt Thrower clone just solidifies that I need Magic to make Super Volt Throwers. Ill have to mess with this one some more but I definitely see it coming in handy at lower gain boosting into fuzz. ODB -> Cthulhu -> Origin SV sounded huge.

My ODB arrived the same - nearly every knob was un-turnable.
It seems wrong to like this comment but I'm glad you at least got your ODB.
I'm waiting on several pedals from Magic as I asked to batch them to save on international postage but I'm excited to see them when they arrive.
Got another thing dropping shortly, like maybe 1 week or so.
Cant say too much until it's shown but just wanted to let everyone know.

this is the only one I can probably discuss.
I do have 2-3 other designs with other brands but not able to discuss.
Nice! It looks like the Elder God is on the site for release on January 27:
Elder God - Does It Doom?

I suppose that would make sense as both the Lil Fella and ODB take inspiration from the OCD, no?
New 3KCF is killer! Cleans up almost as nicely as the green Dunwich version. The internal trim pot goes from super-gated (fully CCW) to very deep and sustained (fully CW).
Magic's ODB (right) is pretty much spot-on tone-wise to the original (left) albeit not so tall. If you were hesitant on the last drop, get in on the next (last) one!
