GFS Pedals

I was on Guitar Fetish tonight, and happened to see that they now stock their own line of pedals. They seem to be quite a good deal, and I was wondering if anyone had tried them out yet.
Thanks!

HOLY GAS ATTACK BATMAN.

I too am interested in hearing some reviews. I'll be checking the YouTube regularly.

I've been on guitarfetish a lot recently. Today was the day I forgot about it, and now I see this. Gas attack indeed :\

I think I'm gonna get that Tuner pedal, just because I wanted one for a while, and this is cheap (even cheaper than the modtone one) and looks nice. Small footprint too.

The tube screamer clone looks cool too. Soundclips seem good I like the housing, and the chickenhead knobs remind me of pete cornish..

I just listened to some clips.

GAS has gone down quite a bit. The Tube Screamer seems very nice (I like how the have different modes for their gain pedals). The other OD is nice too. But the two Distortions are bleh. The Digi delay seems to be quite nice.

I can see myself picking up the digi delay and the tuner pedal (which looks exactly like the Korg one).

Oh, guitarfetish, you will soon have my money.

All of it.

Yeah, that's what I like too. 3 tube screamer modes for $50 bucks? Geez.

Also, I did some reading and apparently Jay claims the delay is analog. I haven't listened to that yet, but it seems to big for a delay to me. Unless it's a DMM, I'd rather like.. a memory toy or a carbon copy.

Okay you guys. I'm gonna go ahead and save plenty of time.

All of these pedals are clones of the Biyang line with a few mods. And paint.

The Analog Echo IS NOT ANALOG. Same as a digital echo. Uses PT2399 digital chip for delaying. Tube driven pedal is veerryyy sketchy. 6Volts at 1 amp is veryyyy small. Best I can figure is that they're driving the crap out of it with some solid state parts. I volunteered at another forum to help them out with the designs but didn't hear squat. They could be building a MUCH more lo-fi and analog echo, but they're pretty much just changing a few things from the Biyang.

They are good price though, and I guess that's what counts. Jay that runs GFS will be realeasing a new line of the Analog Echo to tell that it's Analog-sim only.

I'm guessing this was done after someone complained?

I know didley-poop about pedals, I just figured that at that price range, it had to be digital (or else I would LOSE MY MIND AND ORDER 5 TONIGHT).

Still a good price for what seems to be a decent analog flavoured digital delay.

It was done after much probing of GFS that no analog delay can be made and sold that cheap with enough BBD chips to get 1100 ms of echo. BBDs are scarce nowadays. Even Behringer's Analog delay uses BBD and can only get 300ms.

Nah, Jay is being a good guy, since he didn't understand the designers saying that it was a certain kind of chip. He's decided to change the name as to not cause any unfair or false advertisement.

Yeah it is still a good price. And if it's moddable I'd get one and make it lo-fi and even closer to the real thing! Looks like I may have a future task on my hands. If anyone gets one, I'd love to see a gutshot to see if it's moddable.

Biyang pedals (which these are clearly from the same factory as) got some good reviews - be interesting to see how they are

I'm feeling the same way now. They're implying the whole true bypass, AND -/+ 1 cent! Bright ass lights too. Whenever I can get some cash,I'll probably order one.
