Ever since they lost their Ultimate Octave, and had to go to the Voodoo Octave gods, they've sacrificed names to keep the loa happy.

So true. If I can find another one for stupidly cheap I might get it.
...not trying to pump and dump here...I'm keeping my DEATH METAL...
Death metal is awesome. I have two now. One is kind of messed up though and I keep meaning to rehouse and mod it. Thinking about one or two extra stomps to swap tone settings on the fly....The metal zone can be cool too though. You just have to be patient and really tweak slowly. Easy to dial in junk sounds. I still think it's the best at doing those interlude transistor radio type things.

I got this for $21.62. Sounds amazing for the price. Of course it's a straight clone of a $200 pedal supposedly which made them release a V2 model that made it less of a clone

Ha, I've heard those Arion compressors are really bad.
I like Yamaha pedals. That Yamaha looks totally whipped.
Somebody should offer The Mothership $22 for this:

I played through a Nux Metal Core yesterday and I actually liked it.

Couple Boss Mega Distortions on CL for $25 each. Worth checking out?

I never had those. If it were me it would depend on how much effort it would take to get the seller (you're Brooklyn so if it was a quick subway ride, bike ride, walk I would probably do it). I would also Email the seller and see if they could take $22 our of principle.

It's... interesting. I'd call it a special effect compressor. The tone knob goes from something like muddy vinyl to transistor radio thin. The stereo output on mine did very weird aural illusion things to phase. I almost wish its compression was more extreme to get heavier pumping and breathing. I'd pick one up again at $20 or $25 if I had a drum machine.

These aren't $22 (one recently sold on Reverb for like $45 or something though), but I once asked Cyrus fr. Ovnilab what he recommended for the extreme pump/breathe compression (because that's the only type of compression I really like) and this's what he said:

They're generally priced at at least around $100 usually.

So, yeah, not $22.

I wouldn't be a dick about it though. I'd probably use the $3 and get them a bag of crisps or something along the way.
Either way it could be a fun day! I say go for it friendship!
