Anyone else totally obsessed with the Torns Peaker?

If so, let's be friends cause your guitar probably sounds fucking awesome.
I never really hear anyone talk about it much. I guess it's old news.. But it might be my all around favorite fuzzbox ever.
I feel like it sounds like a guitar sound that I would hear on a record and try to copy. It's pretty quirky but so lovable.
I'm so deeply in love with mine. I could totally get by with it as my only fuzzbox (but I'm glad I don't have to).
So what do you guys think? Anyone else as big a fan as I am?

I have a Shoegazer, and love both sides. I don't know if it would choose it as the only fuzz I could have, but I could definitely get by.

Had one. Sold it. It was nice, I was just never quite happy with it. It's a "it's not you, it's me" kind of thing.

Haha I can definately see how it's not for everyone.
The Shoegazer seems really cool. I'm gonna build myself a Soda Meiser so I can have a little piece of that pie. I also have a one-knob 33 (silver crank) incoming so I should have somewhat of a ghetto Spectacular Aenima thing going on.
Stacking with the TP is pretty interesting. It's usually noisey as hell but it sounds really cool sometimes. I really like it after my Fuzz Factory.
Yeah duosonic mine is definately staying with me. I'd totally swoop on a Pagoda TP if one came up for sale too!

It's my favorite fuzz I've ever used, never coming off my board. I've never heard anything like it. Glad to see it's getting some recognition.
Devi gave me mine for free. <3 <3 <3

im kinda interested if devs has any superfuzz-like pedals.
i require one and it'd be nice to have one with a name rather than a cheeky self-referential clone name or w/e

You're officially awesome in my books.
Gearmond the only one I know of is the Silver Rose. Have you checked out the Malekko Fuzz?

It's been a while since I've used my TP on bass but I seem to remember it not being particularly great on bass. Not bad but not great. I'd have to try it again to say for sure.
I have a Hyperion too and that thing has way more low end so I'll try that on bass next time I get a chance and tell you how it is. The Silver Rose would probably kick ass on bass. A Superfuzz and a Muff with a clean blend? That's got bass written all over it. It doesn't really scream Devi to me though.
maz try one if you get the chance!
theactionindex loudness makes everything better. The TP is hella loud too. What circuits are in the White Spider?

Man I loved the way my torns peaker sounded, the only reason I got rid of it was because it had too much overlap with my wolf computer.
However when I had it and the soda meiser I did not like the way they sounded together, maybe it was my pickups, but I could not make it sound good to me. I want to say the white spider a torns peaker and a 33, but I'm not positive.

The White Spider is the Torn's Peaker and an 05 boost if I'm not mistaken, and its got the oscillation switch for even more craziness.

i had a tp and white spider. i really liked the sound by itself but both were not cutting through the mix with the band.

huurrrrrrrrrrrrm. 'kay. i'm gonna admit it. i get jealous of y'all Thin Stringeded Brethren having so many damn options on pedals. there ARE an amazing amount of options for bassists now in the Land Of Signal Destruction....... but still. only Devi i ever liked a lot was the Super Massive Black Hole.
doooooooooooo y'all ever think "is that going to be any good on guitar?" when you see effects pedz that are interesting?
and yah. Silver Rose is the first thing i've seen of hers for awhile that i got hard over. well, that and the Heaven's Gate. meeeeeeeeeeOW.
