So I think the TBD is one of the first big designs Devi Ever put into production. Now she has about thirty to fourty different designs. The TBD is kind of rival to the Zvex fuzz factory. It is an octave down fuzz with a blend control, a feedback loop with a photo eye and effect loop which you can insert other pedals.Positives: It sounds crazy. There are a bunch of settings for arpeggio. Play one note and then you can change settings so it is fast or slow or glitchy, octaves sometimes fifths. Everything kind of depends on the instrument you use. The gate switch is really helpful if you want to kill the "motorboating" sounds. I tried a bunch of stuff in the effect loop but I only have other distortion pedals, so nothing real whacky happened but it did change the pedal. The photo resistor is cool.
Negatives: It sounds crazy. I was really disapointed about how there aren't any settings that sound good with chords. That was the main sound I look for and I never found it in this pedal. It's a good pedal, I just can't afford to keep it.
