SumOne Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 They look like generic modern cool 'boutique' pedal designs. I think the older designs stood out more as Aguilar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like thr designer came in hungover and had a look at some EBS pedals for inspiration im guessing the enclosure change was done on cost grounds - the graphics really don’t say high end New York effects andd so amps company to me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 They look really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Nice, bold, clear graphics. I wish they'd have carried over the design from the Filter, Fuzz, Octave and Compression pedals onto the remainder as I think that works really well. A little bit of (almost) seventies retro to brighten up your board! Edited January 26, 2023 by rushbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The old ones were cool, but were very oversized and the shoulders made it difficult to connect using right angled jack sockets. I like them. Might buy another Agro after I stupidly sold the other one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I like them a lot. Nice small enclosures, easier to connect. All good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like battery for backup, but there's no denying battery waste is a big problem. So I'm cool with that. I've had other mains only pedals for years - and some battery ones that will consume a 9V in under an hour so they are effectively mains only.

thodrik Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Guitarist in my band saw the new demo for the Agro and messaged me to say 'you need this'. As much as I loved V1 still think it needed a blend control and/or a simple 'bass' control or 'grunt' control like on the Darkglass B3K, as I always thought that v1 Agro removed a bit of sub lows from the clean signal when turned on, so I have to EQ that back in. However, the quality of the drive is such that it is now on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkydoug Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Don’t object to the battery being phased out but the older pedals looked much cooler and more distinctive. These could be from any maker. I think it’s a mistake, but what do I know?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I think they look great, nice compact size,graphics are cheesy but not awful. I actually really like the octamiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if only someone had one on the marketplace… (TBH - it still needs a 9v input to work, so probably not really…) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyt Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I don’t use batteries, I guess a lot of people don’t, so I like this. If the pedals sound as good as they ought, I might be tempted for the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshbassist Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I much prefer the old style. Think they look classy and distinctive. This looks like a massive brewery decided to dabble in craft beer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
