The Elements May 2012 - Binary Code Message

[Ryan]

I think the 9V vs 18V is just a personal preference kinda thing, anybody could like either setting more with any instrument, I think. I think it makes sense that a bass signal and tone would work great at 18V. For me though, I like the really saturated distortion kind of sound so 9V is better.

I think it also depends on how clean your amp is too... my amps are totally clean so I need the pedal to be as gainy as it can, as distorted/saturated as possible. But with an amp that's cooking a bit 18V might be better, more transparent, might make the amp cook more without making it crazy distorted like it could at 9V.

I just always say try it all and see what you like best, there's no rules here man! *smile*

I love it at 18 volts. I play bass, don't know if that's a factor or not.

I rolled right past this. I have yet to try it at 18v. Looks like I may have to give it a shot!

I suck at taking pictures but...

The more I stare at this finish.....just.....WOW.

Ryan, this is seriously one of the absolute BEST finishes I've ever seen on a pedal.....EVER.

Like, you deserve an award or something. Just....

Definitely try it. Really opens up the headroom on bass.

Like Ryan, I actually prefer it at 9v for MOAARR GAIN

It's a looker hey Jeff! Tanya gets the award though, I had nothing to do with how cool it looks, other than showing her a crop circle documentary awhile ago...

Yours is coming up soon, sorry I'm a little late with it, I spent the weekend working on the cosmi.

Very nice looking pedal. I don't need another gain pedal...
or do I?

good thing it's more then just a gain pedal.

Got mine along with the Pyramids RRR last night. This finish is hot, It's really hard to photograph but looks wicked awesome in person. Ryan you are the man!!!!

it is so hard not to pick both of these up band new again.

Love both of these pedals.

[Ryan]

Thanks again, Skip!

I love those finishes too, probably my favourite so far.. they both speak to me. I just wish my I could get my hair to look as cool as Giorgio's now...

hey guys, I'm new to this forum! greetings from Austria

I'm realliy digging this new finish! how long do you plan to offer the pedal in this finish, Ryan? I think I really need an Elements in the near future, but I moved in with my girlfriend and I'm supposed to spend my money on "important things" like a dishwasher or food or something like that...

Welcome to ILF, Atrox! Greetings from Canada :hello:

We'll be making this Elements for the next several months at least, we'll do a double run of it, 250 pedals, and that'll take us many months to get through.

So no worries, get the dishwasher first and a bunch of pizzas and then hit me up! *smile*

I hope these babies are still around when I get all my sh*t paid off this fall.

Nice, I was thinking sbout the majik box krush, when I found out about it yesterday, but the Elements seems to kill it in versatility.

LOVE the new finish. But do I sell my beloved black finish and get a new one? Do I keep the black one and buy the new one, too, and convince myself that I need a second board? What will the next finish be? Will I then need to justify a third board to hold all three? Argh.
