Re: ...and of the Sound Shank
I have an earlier one and it is AWESOME
So tempted to grab one of these while they're 20% off and free return shipping..."wider gain range" sounds pretty good but the ability to daisy chain the new one is huge.

Re: ...and of the Sound Shank
Shank arrived yesterday. Took it to the studio but only had a few minutes to mess with it. Maaaaaan, that midrange growl is the kitty's knickers. Info sheet said not to place it in front of any buffered pedals but I thought it sounded fine with the tuner at the end of the chain. I'll have to bypass the tu-2 to see if i'm missing something. A little concerned about temperature. Is 45F too cold for it? We turn down the heat when we're not there.

Curious. I wouldn't put buffered pedals in front of the Shank but not sure about problems with after.sultanofswig wrote: Info sheet said not to place it in front of any buffered pedals but I thought it sounded fine with the tuner at the end of the chain.

I think the temperature-sensitive Ge trannys are fine once they stabilize a bit...I doubt you'd do any damage.

Re: ...and of the Sound Shank
Got my Sound Shank today! Utterly disappointed. On of the screws is in waaay too tight so i cant open it up to look at its guts, and get that tasty EQD innard smell
In other respects.... DAYUM thats fuzzy
Glad i bought this on a whim while half asleep and having no idea what i was doing

dammit! I wanted a single digit serial number D:
I need an eqd pedal with a single digit serial one day... Preferably a dream crusher or Tone Reaper.
But anyways, yessss its nice colours and i cant play it right now and my life sucks because of that

Re: ...and of the Sound Shank
Man do I love this thing. I think my sweet spot is with the sustain around 3 o'clock and the timbre back around 1 (it's running into always-on low-gain Fuck). That said, there are rad textures to be found all over the place. Heavy gazey parts sound great & I love the way it intermodulates on more complex chords/intervals. A keeper for sure.
I got #19. Clearly Prymaxe doesn't know who they' re dealing with!

It was what I was going for, but as always YMMV.

Re: ...and of the Sound Shank
Kinda want the new one for wider gain range but i won't give prymaxe money. i have 1009's old one and it slays. currently using a deluxe SSStampede with the band because it has more features and just takes up 1.5x of the Shank's footprint. the shed we practice in is small.
