    The 1981 is a desert island pedal for one of the guys I play with. Sounds great with a variety of guitars and amps. Huge range of usable tones. 

    I think you're going to love it. 
    i have always kind of strayed away from "distortion" pedals and used overdrive pedals because i have an old marshall jmp that is non master volume and no effects loop. i know a guy that has a reissue of my amp that has an effects loop. he puts his vintage rat in the effects loop and it sounds amazing. i am just worried about what it is going to sound like slamming the front end of my amp with this thing. if the amp is already on the verge of breakup and i slam it with a dirt box sometimes it gets to be too much and there is nowhere to go but down with the guitar volume and down on the drive knob. we shall see later today!

    That's the real beauty of the Rat circuit. It does low gain, subtle OD really well. It can also do borderline fuzz levels of gain and everything in between.

    it sounds pretty good with my blues junior. i am not going to get a chance to plug it into my marshall or matchless tonight, but will definitely do so tomorrow!!

    Decided to splurge on an early Christmas present and pre-order TMR’s Triplegraph digital octave pedal. Thing looks like a beast. Hoping to extract loud healing sounds for the soul.

    I wanted to snag one of the Gamechsnger/Thirdman Plasma pedals. Really all of
    the Thirdman pedals are pretty legit. My hang up is that they all just sound like Jack White. He’s informed many of my pedal
    purchases through the years but going with less “perfected” options lets me get that vibe without totally aping.

    I’m with you on those plasma pedals, they sound good af.  Love that thickness they provide, but I ultimately went with the triple. I agree that most of the pedals listed on their site will get you some elements of his sound, but the guy is inimitable.

    i just played the 1981 with my matchless and my marshall. ho leee balls.

    this pedal covers everything. extremely clean chime to fuzz territory. it played better with my matchless because the matchless is set pretty clean. it was pretty bright with the marshall, which is set at breakup. if i dime the high cut it is useable and sounds good, but do not need to stack it with any other od. i normally have a tumnus always on with a strat or tele, but with the 1981 i don't need that. kind of bums me out because i love that tumnus with single coils. this thing can run as a clean boost, overdrive, or distortion. i found a couple of settings i really like on both amps, but it is almost too much for my marshall. need to put it on my board with a wah, phaser, delay, and reverb pedal and see how it sounds. that is a project for the weekend because i hate fucking with wiring and pedal placement.

    Still loving it? I’ll own one eventually. Sounds great in every demo just already have several spots taken up by dirt and generally gain up by stacking.

    In the midst of a board shakeup. Have a couple things on the way. I’ll post an update in the next few weeks when it’s put back together.

    I bought this pedal, took it out of the box, turned the tone, level and time knobs to noon, everything else at 0, plugged in between my amp with some distortion and my drop D guitar, and...... Tool - Pneuma!  Never had an easier time with a delay pedal!   

    Good evening...

    yeah man. it's cool. i think it is better with an amp that is set more clean, but the pedal itself is super versatile. i am having some pafs put into my les paul custom, so i can't wait to hear it with that when the new pickups get installed.

    guy in my band just got the protein drive. it is a modded nobels ODR and blusebreaker circuit. sounds really, really fucking good. if i liked the ODR better I might consider one myself, but I have enough drive for now. he likes the protein almost as much as his king of tone, which is really saying a lot about the protein.
