That made me chuckle! You should try the Vintage Ultra, gets VERY close to B7K flat attack tones. It doesn't get as metallic, but certainly covers a very broad range.
I can see its already in the classifieds, it was the only pedal you were keeping 3 days ago alongside a Cog!

Meh! gas is a fickle old thing :-D
i should have said it was based on my use of the older Darkglass models (not tried their more recent ultra's ) and to my ears the Pike definitely has different core tones. I'm sure you probably could get most of it with the new DG peds?
Because iv'e cranked it in the Classifeds so quick doesn't mean that its not that good or contradict what i said about it, Imo its still a fantastic quality sounding preamp........................ a realization that my gas to find an extra sound that my Amp really doesnt need is the only problem ;-)
