got sonic titan #10 from Sickle. i'm still getting used to it. it's got stiff competition too, i've been using my cornish ss-2 as my main OD pedal for a while now--tried a bunch of OD's (in hopes of finding a cheaper/better one) and nothing's been able to dethrone the ss-2. and i've got to say, for mild overdrive purposes--how i'm using the cornish--the titan is cool, but doesn't surpass it.

but the titan really is the first OD other than the cornish that i wanted to make room on my board for (the hotcake was close). similar to the hotcake--while it does do mild overdrive good, it really seems to shine at higher gain settings. in this regard, it's fucking awesome. very natural sounding--i know, poor description. it stacks differently than the cornish (which seems to beef up while still remaining clear whatever you feed into it)--the Titan just gets nasty as fuck if you feed a fuzz into. actually--it reminds me of a tweed deluxe (neil young). alone it sounds very tweed-y, feed a fuzz into it and it sounds like shit is going to 'splode.

so long story short--it's a definite keeper. i'm using my cornish as my mild overdrive and using the titan for bigger OD soundz.

what i love about it though is how deep of a pedal it is. i've had it for about a week now but have barely scratched the surface of all the different toanz in there. love how interactive the controls are.

it sounds great with my hiwatts--but honestly, i think it sounds the best with my silverface deluxe reverb. just sounds perfect with that amp.

I would love to try an early Titan like that one, they sound a bit different I guess?

Just got an email from V&R offering me a pink(!) Titan, and for a second I considered getting it so I could run it into the one I already have, but that seemed kind of decadent so I passed.

Yeah, I've considered stacking Titans too. I bet it would work really well for some high gain OD. Plus, I'd like to compare a new one with my oldie.

Gongrats on snagging number 10 Hiwatt Bob!

Doesn't work unfortunately. You're much better off using either a Titan & a Rooster or a Fuzz.

anyone know if there is supposedly a difference between early and late ones? if so, what's the cutoff number?

Number ten sounds very much like my 2008 build. Not much need to change it up, that shit pwnz0r, boy..

pwnz0r indeed.

I find the Titan to be unsurpassed for pick responsiveness when my amp is turned up. Can be so transparent it's scary. Just need the amp cooking a bit. Loves single coils and "bright" amps too btw.

Which Cornish model you using?
