Pickle vs Stache

Recently sold my beloved Attack Goat and now I am looking at the Pickle Pie B and the Grey Stache. The reason I sold the AG was because I wanted a little less aggressive modern fuzz. I would still like to be able to get an aggressive tone but I would also like something that can do a subtle warm dark kind of fuzz too.

Can anyone compare the two? Seen all the YouTube stuff but never head to head and the equipment used and playing styles vary too much to really compare the two.
 
He's talking about the Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B homie. Not teh Swollen Pickle.

I was all prepared to come in here and say,..."buy the Stache just to support small time builders trying to feed their momsters and not Guitar Center",...but I see that we don't have to do that.

:)
 
That's what I get for reading/typing with a wiggly newborn in my lap. Carry on! ;)

So now I'm in the bathtub with a splashy beast...let me reanswer haha. PPB has a blend, GS doesn't. GS has controllable mids and either tone bypass or oscillation, while the PPB doesn't. $50 price difference in favor of the GS. Both are green.

No other GS vids other than my crappy one and Eric!'s SC/GS comparison. It's a try and buy situation hurr.
 
Actually, that's good news IMO! Even though it means longer build times, it means that a good builder is making it. Congratulations...

BTW, I'm ready to buy that Dark Driving now...

I've already made the conscious decision that im going to buy a Dark Driving soon too, it just sounds so darn cool. One thing I do like is that the jacks are on the top, really good design decision IMO.
