Before I found Pistomp, I made my own Patchbox variant and was impressed.
Once I got hold of a Pistomp, I am blown away. It takes the Blokas.io idea to a "real" level for a guitarist. Assembly is pretty simple, if you have ever DIY any pedal before. I compare the sounds I am getting out of this to my Line 6 HD500 and Floor Pod.
Pros:
- If you have done any DIY pedals before, this is a breeze.
- Its very well made and well documented.
- Crazy levels of customizable.
Cons:
- You have to resist the desire to use ALL of its button and potentiometer connectors.
- You will want to make more than 1
- You will never be satisfied and want to tweak more than just a nob.
You have been warned.
Gear:
Pistomp with Core 2.0
Soon to be (hopefully) Pistomp Acoustic Variant :-)
