My pedalboard for reference. I’m looking for the right reverb, other than that feels complete.
 
Unpleasant surprise and about 900, all in the loop of a hors d'hoeuvre. US as a fuzz and 900 more like a fuzzy od/dist. With US the randy is crazy, makes a lot of strange but beautiful noises. Tremolo is interesting as well. With 900 it makes more usable sounds (since it's less gain). I like it with either of them for different purposes.
How do you like 900 ish( I ask everybody I hear ,has one...)
I'm on the fence wether to get 900 or roger or neither...as I am not sure what tones I can not get with US, BS and 4 eyes...


...and...how do you like hulk, and for what situations do you like it best ?

The 900 feels a gap I have, I get low subtle gain from the accountant and high fuzz gain from the US. The 900 sits in the middle of these two wherever I want it to be (but with the feedback looper is a bit fizzy, so you may not like it. Without it it can sounds more as an overdrive). It does good high gain as well and can range from broken distortion to gated fuzz all thanks to the bias knob. It depends of what you would use it for, but it's very flexible so it can be used as almost anything as a drive pedal.

The hulk is amazing but a bit tricky. I have a broughton hpf under the pedalboard to help not blow speakers. Mainly I use it with fuzz and randy's revenge/long life to make music like ghostmane, or i use it alone to fill the hole when the guitarist takes a solo and the 900 (as od/dist) is too much.

For those that have it...how do you use the EQ pedal?
I started using it as a HPF, with an OBNE expression ramper that gave me a tremolo when active. Now I'm using it just as a filter, lpf with an expression pedal, and it sounds pretty good after either 900 or US. Sometimes I used it before or after dirt to change the way the dirt behaved, or if I needed any sort of eq as well (bumping mids, cutting highs, ...). If you hit it with a boost it can even distort, but I didn't need that so I did not explore it. In other words it's very versatile and can do a lot, my only gripe is that it can do only one thing at a time.

Back to the question as to what might or might not be next...FC haven't got a 'preamp( a 'some eq, some Di, some this, some that kind of pedal)yet. Might that be coming at some point?
Or do you recon they'll think...'everyone else is making those so we won't'...? :)
