Pedal Breeders' BIG Board Club Part III

I don't remember who posted this (or where), but I got around to watching it last night. This video could have been half as long, and one hundred times better if Nick would STFU.
That said, I enjoyed what little talking Julie Slick got in, and went to look up her band (EchoTest) and solo projects, so it was pretty cool. I just wish Nick didn't have to ask a question, and then cut her off 4 words into her answer to answer it for her.

Thought Nick seemed really high in this. Liked her though.

It's like coin-flip time. I read about 70 pages about the Blower Box and another 80 on the Aftershock. One of those is going to replace my old Rat and the clean boost I'm using to preemphasize the bass going into it. A two-click solution isn't bad but space for another effect pedal is even better.

I'm all about the dirt - and options so the lead horse in this race is the Aftershock and then a Fifth Gear to replace the Spark. Still, I have dreams (or are they nightmares?) about the awesomeness of the Blower. Narrow or wide, it's gotta have "eyes". My g****rist showed up without pedals one day so I let him crank the Rat into his twin. He liked it so I'm gong to give it to him for my birthday. I'll need the room. :)

It may be easy to say but why not both? I've seen them both sell pretty cheap. Combined price they're lower than some dirt pedals. You can get a solid comparison and flip the other.


*Warning. This is how hoarding starts :)

For sure I was picturing the "why not both" girl with a "Why not all three?" caption. With single row boards, 8x24" and smaller, I'm space limited. Those EBS cables are helpful but getting the Spark onto the small board isn't a given but I'm going to try. First, I need more of those wonderful patches.
