Ok... So Aen so graciously traded me a Shiva, and I love it. I, funny enough, love it at a "normal" setting as a "normal" heavy fuzz. Very thick and saturated to hell, shit, even rolling back the texture knob doesn't do too much, still saturated heavy ass fuzz fun.
THEN as if that wasn't enough... you got a switch that makes it go into...
OCTAVE-DESTRUCTO MODE! Which is just an added bonus to the already cool heavy fuzz. Now, I didnt' get to play with the starve function all that much, but, I did find one super useful purpose for it... volume control!

When I needed to drop my volume a lil bit in cleaner parts, I just hit that starve button an
WHAPBAP! nice little volume drop. Tonight I will actually get to futz around more with the knobs, because I was too busy playing music last night to really get to fiddle. I wanna try out the ugly switch and get to know the starve function's purpose a bit more... I have a feeling great noise will come from this pedal... Yes!
But, the Shiva is a keeper... no dobut.

The Shiva is a BEAST. It's all over my band's forthcoming EP.

LOL! The Shiva has earned a permanent spot on my board. It might have kicked the AB-Synth off tho...

The Shiva is truly an awesome device. From flat out walls of fuzz to sheer mayhem with the toss of a switch. Happy to hear you're digging it.
Aen really has forged a unique place for his creations in the world of fuzz.

Dude, this pedal NEVER ceases to amaze me... So I was fuckin' around with the octave up switch (which I dig the hell out of) and i hit the starve footswitch and BAM!
OCTAVE DOWN! granted it's w/ a bit of oscillations but ehhh... i can deal

Aen, you make an amazingly deep pedal my friend! I can't wait to see what the Ugly switch does.

I actually am waiting on a Tascam dp-004, so I will be able to put up some audio clips soon...
