Leave it to the good ole USPS to break stuff around the holidays.

These seem to be selling well - do you plan to keep on making them?

Anyways - here is mine #001 bitches.

Yep, this board got my vote over at HCFX!

Also, glad those 3 first posts in a row were just lurkers, and not a result of a shakedown. We all know Earthquaker is backed by the mob. :shoot:

Right on - thanks for the vote :thumb:

And you are definitely right about the mob. The German families run deep in Ohio :excellent:

Anyone put one of these next to an El Capistan to compare?

I compared it to the El Capistan and kept the Ghost Disaster. I think they sound completely different. The GD is more straightforward and fat sounding delay. It sounds more like an analog delay than a tape delay. The individual switches for the reverb and delay are much needed (by me).

The El Capistan get wobbly fast, and it also sounds a bit thinner in the delay repeats. I think the reverb was a bit smoother and sounded a bit more like spring reverb. The GD reverb can be a tad bright sometimes, but is much more flexible.

They both have their uses and sound very different. I wish I could have kept both.

I've got a first generation Disaster Transport and just ordered an El Capistan. The Ghost Disaster looks pretty interesting even though I have fantastic reverb on my amp (Juke Coda).

the el cap and the ghost disaster are very different. i would say the ghost disaster is much closer to my deluxe memory man as far as how the delay sounds but the repeats go way longer on the disaster! :joy:

the el cap is a crazy tape machine simulator. i really like my el cap but its got a lot going on. it has a bit of a learning curve but its pretty damn cool! :cool:

Are any more of these going to be available at Tone Factor any time soon?

I needs to get one ASAP to go along with my Dirt Transmitter & Hoof.

Or if you are looking to sell one please PM me. :thumb:

Quick question to anyone who can answer, how is the Ghost Disaster on bass?
as compared with other reverbs and other delays, with which most bass players probably don't bother.
I think I want one but there ain't no bass demos out there!
