I'm very much looking forward to getting one of these. So interested that I've actually held off on a Broughton order I wanted to do for the time being. For me to put a Broughton Audio purchase on hold speaks volumes.

Mine is always on and it just adds tonally tasty heft and authority when set to SVT. And it makes my Dunwich pedals sound even better then their normal awesomeness.

On the list for one of these two. I have a feeling my visa is going to take a beating from Southampton pedals. Anyone fed the fifth Gear into the ictineo yet?
Mine is always on as well. I dig what it brings to the table. It adds this type of sag, or something to the signal that I just love. Clarity, a little boost, roundness...it's all there. I really liked my tone a lot before. Now I like it even more! I'm so happy where I'm at right now. I've said that before but it's true. I'll add something to the chain every so often that really bumps my tone game in a new and exciting direction. The Ictineo has done just that
@gregmon79 nails it... actually Oz nailed it first, then Southampton nailed it with the Ictineo.
I thought about that as well. But the white won out because the blue ones weren't exactly the right shade.
I've been trying that combo out; at lowish gain and heat settings it sounds rather nice.
Yeah check mammoth here:

There are other styles here too but a lot are sold out. I like these slender ones though. Fit it well.

Ordered... thanks!
Signal chain used most of last night with my space doom band: 'Ol Dirty Bass/Volt Thrower>Ictineo. It just sounded killer.

Smallbear seems to have those caps in a blue that matches up better with the blue that the ictineo is painted. They also have some soft touch caps.
Matching switch covers!! Forget about matching headstocks. This must rank amongst the nerdiest discussions in this forum...Do carry on though it makes for a good read while waiting for the next batch of Ictineos.... ;-)
Awesome thanks man, I'm working it out so I pick the two of them up at the same time. I've been digging the demos of the fifth gear and the Ictineo/Submarine has been on my "radar" for awhile.
Ladies and Gentlemen

Ran the Ictineo straight into my Crest ProLite power amp yesterday and it was sounding good. Still getting used to the controls but that was definitely a very pleasant surprise!
I don't know what to do haha. Looking at preamps, and while the mesa subway bass di looks good, this has got my attention really bad!
