Massive respect for all of ya'll. Plus I feel like this style of music has a long way to grow still. This is what Huntington Beach in 1980 must have felt like (if you like punk, atleast).
Lowest End said:Small Stone definitely has a bunch of good bands. It's a shame they seem to have less than no interest in us.
I think they almost exclusively work with bands now that they've seen live...
If they've missed us they've been hiding under a rock. If anything we play too much.
We've played with several of their bands too - Gozu, Lord Fowl, Mellow Bravo (even shared members and I play in other projects with their guitarist), Lo-Pan (I think before I joined), Roadsaw, and about half of Milligram (in different bands).
Ahh well. que sera sera

Don't take this the wrong way but your band isn't the type of band I think of when I think of Small Stone. You guys are much more southern rock/southern metal and I don't think they have a whole lot of that style on their label.

Yeah in our recording video the phaser stuff is my small stone nano. Got it for $40. Best $40 I ever spent! I went in with zero expectations and absolutely love it.
Man, I have actual work to do for an hour and I miss two pages already.
So, I was pretty set on getting a Fairfield Barbershop for a new light OD. After laying out some scale drawings of my board, I ran into some spacing issues. I got some of it sorted out with Hosa low profile cables, which are on order. I'm also getting rid of the delay I just got and finding something in a smaller width box (possibly replacing with a reverb, not sure). After all that the Barbershop is the widest pedal on the bottom row of my PT-2, even turned on its side (which is the only way I considered mounting it). If I can find something to replace it in that more standard 2.5" width style enclosure, that would be great. I've been scouring threads and demos/clips (thanks again, johnk_10!) and narrowed it down to, in order of interest:
EBS Multidrive
Catalinbread SFT
Mad Professor BBBOD
The Multidrive seems like the best fit to my ear, based on what I've been listening to. The SFT and the BBBOD sound a little too fuzzy in the low end when they're cranked up, to me. I'm going to use it for a subtle, tube amp just starting to break up type of tone. Not too dark or two fuzzy, a little light grind to spice things up. Similar to what I'm doing on that last clip I posted from my soundcloud, although that's a bit masked by guitar. I have the RAT for full on distortion and Pickle Pie B for fuzz and a lot of in between sounds between the clean blend and tone knob. I really liked the sound of the Barbershop, just seems like it's not SO unique that I can't get the same effect out of a smaller box. It's also a lot easier to find the EBS Multidrive or SFT used for a decent price.
Anyone with experience with these pedals or this desired effect want to weigh in?

I use a Small Stone Nano. I prefer it over the older style boxes, they fixed the tone suck and volume drop issues. The reason I bought it was because Analogman discontinued his mod of the original pedal, because the Nano incorporates all of them for a really low price and small footprint.
