How's the Lil Pig? I've been on the edge of buying it a couple of times but then with shipping and import taxes etc it always becomes too pricey. Also I'd love to try another couple of Electrofoods pedals but I am not a big fan of their graphics so that's another thing that stops me. :erm:

Covid has meant I haven't had a proper chance to put it through its paces yet, but I used it for overdubs on my bands most recent recordings and it sounded pretty great. I have a Zander Cafetiere which is a bit more versatile with all of its different clipping options, but the Lil Pig is more straight forward and just seems to sound like a good harmonic Perc no matter what the settings are. Didn't find much use in my rig for the high cut being anywhere above 0 though, found it kinda of dark but maybe that's just me.

hearing that a perc is kinda dark is very strange, didn't seem so from the demos.

No you're right it doesn't! Probably down to my rig and ears. I like it bright :idk:

Sick board :drool:

With all those sweet pedlols, it's gonna sound weird when I ask this...
But how do you use the mxr eq pedal? It's used to "fix" something when one/some of your other pedals pedals are in action, is it an 'always on' kinda thing cause your amp is lacking something, is it there to even out certain frequencies when you switch guitars, etc...?

So many different ways and reasons to make good use of an eq pedal, and I can't seem to find a good excuse to put my MXR 6 band eq on my board :facepalm:

I've played a couple that were (1st gen Champion Leccy Divvy--Wooly has since built brighter takes) or could be (MK Ultra F--made by ILF's D Rock), petty pretty dark.

Also played supa bright ones (the ultra-rad Dirge) and lots in-between.

So I certainly agree that the circuit, especially when built close to the OG schematic (though there's been some argument over what that entails over the years) tends to be bright, but it's also clear somebody can produce a darker version if that's what they want.... :snax:

I’ve always thought that we tend to think of harmonic perc as bright because our first exposure to it was with Alu neck guitars. So much clang.

This is what I am working with lately. Pedalboard layout has mostly settled into this setup. I have more modulation I can bring in if I need to, but mostly I just want delay and reverb these days.

The Gale on my “modern metal” humbucker guitar gets way heavier and doomier when the gain is cranked. I didn’t expect it. I think, like the reviews suggest, that the gain and pre-gain being adjusted with that one knob means that it can get much more saturated than other circuits without going fizzy or flubby on the low end. I really recommend it. I probably could do a mini board with just the Giganteum, Gale, and a delay and reverb. But I end up using the Throat Locust for certain things and the muff style Supercollider for others. I’m using this board with a few different guitars, so having various OD/dist/fuzz options is convenient.
