Thanks, man. It wasn't an easy decision between this, the tide-pool Player, and the natural finish ASAT but every time I came back to this one, it kept taking my breath away. Fingers crossed that it was the right choice. Hopefully NGD thread coming soon.

Just grabbed a killer deal on a CKK Scream. For those that haven’t heard of them... CKK is a sub-brand of Sinvertek, a Chinese company. They make some pretty high end “boutique” quality stuff... kind of reminiscent of VFE stuff. They don’t have a US dealer so you have to find the from overseas sellers like Geartree or used. They are really well priced at around 90 USD.

I already have their Anka and Flaming Lips, which are awesome high gain pedals and I have a Sinvertek 5.0 that is an amazing do-it-all pedal (check out the demos by Ola and Pete Thorn!).

Anyways, the Scream is their take on a modded TS. It has 3 modes - standard TS with mid hump, transparent TS, and a TS with higher gain. Also has a distortion switch which kicks it up a notch (maybe diode clipping?).

Got a Randall RGOD on the way from guitar center used (hopefully this one doesn’t go missing).

I don’t know how i slept on this one. 2 channel high-gain preamp pedal from Randall (possibly designed by fortin?) that can be found for under $120 used? Count me in

Got it! It’s not really two channels (just two master volumes and two master gains) but it’s awesome. Really just rips hard. Totally worth it especially used.

Gf got me an MT2w yesterday, I’ve only played around with it for like 30 minutes last night though.

Custom mode is cool, still very much metalzone, but more refined and clearer.

Well it'd be switchable between new smell and classic smell.

Man, feeling otaku seeing Eva gear at the shop today:

I don't even play bass anymore let alone own any gear and I still want that Darkglass pedal.

I regret not buying it. It'd probably get far more use from me than the MT-2w. But they get some minus points for not having the eyeballs be the LED lights. The wurm knows what's up:

Also a shame it sits right next to the deluxe alpha-omega with the graphic EQ for similar prices.
