NPD: EHX Ripped Speaker

I got this pedal in a trade recently. I’ve spent a few hours with it, and so far I’m a big fan. I really really like Velcro style fuzz. I’ve owned many pedals that have a gated fuzz option. Most of those pedals sound like a fart. The Ripped Speaker can definitely sound like a fart if you want it to. However, it has many other really great sounds. I will post a demo video soon. My favorite thing about it so far is putting it first in the chain and using it as a fuzz/noise gate. You can adjust the gate to do some neat things. When the gate is closed, no sound comes through. It’s silent.

Do you have this pedal? If so, how do you like to use it? Thanks for reading.
