JoeS Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yeah, I've noticed the release date on Thomann keeps getting pushed further and further back, annoyingly. I'd really like to get my hands on one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) well its out, and imo overpriced, anyone gunna take the plunge n buy one?? i cant see me ever spending £125 on it, i was hoping it would be cheaper than the blowtorch, but alas. found it for £109 at one place, and that link above is at £85, but both are out of stock, and no doubt when they are back in they will mark their prices up with the likes of dv and a few others opinions?

Dread Bass Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 £125 does seem a bit steep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) For that money you can get 2 other really good pedals from the US - Wounded Paw Attack Goat, Messdrive Hybrid Plus or Earthbound Supercollider (which I have on order!). Then you'd get a lot more sounds out of the 2 pedals! Edited May 18, 2008 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 £125? Well, I won't be buying of them then. I have, however, been looking at the possibility of getting an Attack Goat for a while, have you got any experience with them dannybuoy (or anyone else)?

Kev Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 attack goat does look good, but according to some things iv read, mainly at talkbass, the blend isnt very effective, so i think it soundsss at though it loses bottom end, but actaully really doesnt, if that makes sense, probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) I haven't got any experience with any of those pedals I mentioend, but there are e few threads containing clips over at talkbass. I'm after a huge wall of sound type fuzz with tons of low end that's woolly and warm as opposed to harsh/synthy/buzzy and the Supercollider clips just did it for me. The Attack Goat sounds totally different, less full-on, and the blend can make be used to give a clean sound with a subtle background fuzz on top of your original signal. The other pedal I really liked the sound of was the Pickle Pie B version, but that costs a little more than the others. I guess we need some more clips of the El Grande to make a good comparison, all I've heard so far is the Namm video and I wasn't all that impressed.

ahpook Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 i tried one briefly the other day...wasn't that impressed to be honest. it sounds good, but to my ears nothing that my russian big muff doesn't do. the deep switch is very deep, but as it's a fuzz it loses a lot of punch. sorry - i'm not very good at reviews.
