Tech21 GT2.. and its all mine.. mine I say..... my precious...
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
I've heard the Barber DirtyBomb on UTube and I think it's great but I would like to hear it live.
Cheers,
The Tech21 XXL - no other Pedal could replace it from the board so far. Makes a monster out of a Fender-amp and clears up with the guitarvolume better than anything i've tried so far. On the overdrive-side, there's the Crowther Audio Double Hot Cake - my personal souvenir from travelling through NZ:

Do you have the original or reissue? I was always curious about those, but never really dug the clips.Originally Posted by Gutmann

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
There are no reissue Hot Cakes. Just different versions. A bit like RATs with the difference being that new Hot Cakes are just as good as they used to be.Originally Posted by schenkadere

It's the original Tech 21 XXL, the one in the silver box. I use it for 5 years now, bought it used.
The clips show what you can do with it but they could show more flexibility.
Here are two SAMPLES I made, all with the same settings, only the guitar-volume varies.
The XXL has a serious amount of gain when set to minimum - the dynamic sample at the end shows minimum gain with guitar-volume up (G&L ASAT with quite a high output). With the warp-poti, you can change the character of the drive to a really thick, fuzzy tone.
The hotcake really is a bit like a rat but with more transparecy - but never heard one of the old rats. Theres two versions of the hotcake, the normal and the bluesberry. The last one has a bit more low end. The double hotcake contains a normal hc and the bluesberry cascaded one into another which makes it the perfect flexible pedal.
Proguitarshop has a cool demo.

Yes, i was refering to the XXL about the reissue thing. Thanks for the clips. The XXL seems a bit more fuzz than than smooth and creamy, right?Originally Posted by Gutmann
Via the warp, you can make it very smooth and thick - I prefer the warp rather neutral. It only has an additional treble-poti and you can get a real aggressive sound w tele&Fender but set to the right amount (10-11o'clock) it's neither aggressive nor dark and gets quite sparkling when rolling back the volume on the guitar. The low-volume-sample is both guitars with the XXL(same setting), the one from the beginning has a bit less volume.Originally Posted by schenkadere
Here is another vid we made some time ago, the solo guitar at the end is a band mate, all the riffing is the XXL on a Fender Twin: .
The Crowther is definitely smoother at high gain settings.
I like both my Duhvoodooman SD-9 clone and my Guv'nor Plus pedal. Both sound great...both are very different from each other...both are extremely versatile...and Rob using a distortion pedal with an already overdrive amp is cheating sir.

My favorite that I own is my Lovepedal Eternity. I have been loving the Youtube clips of the Hermida Zendrive though.

Hey Spud I saw this thread and lo and behold a Hot British turns up on a local buy and sell. Mint condition 1 year old. $135 can. Do you think I should pick it up. The only distortion pedal I have is the DS-1.
I don't even know what these go for new?

Well I picked it up. I paid 125 Can. It is a really versatile pedal and goes nicely on my pedal board. It is a year or so old in mint condition.
As you said Hub it is a huge improvement on my DS-1. I tried the Fulltone Distortion and it was not as good as the Tone Bone. I like the fact that it is Canadian made as well.
I will give it a good test over the next couple of weeks.
