The mesa eq would be cool if it was ran at a higher voltage.

Yeah the Mesa 5 Band EQ doesn't really do much for me at 9 volts or even 18 volts .... there's a reason there isn't a bunch of clones .... or why they discontinued it themselves . I think I've seen one clone of it in my time .... and it just sounded like a regular EQ in a loop@Techdeth has been wanting one of those Mesa EQ's. Just thought I'd mention it for him since he's probably tied up trimming his toenails rn.

I'm knee deep in boosting duals and that would be really REALLY nice in the mix.

I second @DanTravis62 's notion of a high gain distortion / digital delay combo pedal. A similar concept to the Jeff Loomis Devil's Triad pedal but presumably even better sounding.

Could call it the Rig Talk open fly rig.

going to try to narrow it down to three choices .... then probably do a vote .... or shit ... maybe I'll run three choices and just do a fancy Rig Talk 20th Anniversary logo of some sort on them ..... and personalize them with your screen name on the sides

Man I love this thing. Eventually I need a 2nd one for backup.

it's quirky to use at first .... but once you understand what it's doing ..... it's like a Tone Scalpel

I like the 3-4 gain staging pedal idea with the nuclear option knob (gain boost); keeps with the original metal focus of RT IMO.
I just dunno what to choose for stages that would work well together...
maybe:
zendrive --> SD-1 --> DS-1 - Klon?

EQ pedals are underrated IMO.
One of the reasons I like my ISP Theta gear are the pre- and post-eq sections. It's just tedious to dial-in on the device.

Pultecs seem forgotten by most guys. It's a totally unique design. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what it's capable of as a tone shaping tool, I just set it up to clean up my basic OD tone since pedals usually only offer a single "tone" knob that wasn't really doing it for me.

Looks like it, I like the idea of higher voltages and parts that are rated for them. The sliders are easy to visualize but I understand those may be the issue in sizing for a pedal enclosure?

The pultec is a completely different sort of EQ.

Pultechdeth is a misdemeanor in most states. If charged, a good attorney can easily get you off and unlike the evidence, make sure the charges don't stick

Maybe so but you'll still be trimming your fri-toes and shaving your soul patch off for court.

Not useful for those of us who put our delays in the loop

I'm talking about a stand alone distortion pedal meant to feed a clean power amp or effects return
