Probably Supersuckers (who are great) -As I can't remember John Reis ever playing one -and I've seen him play 100 times.

Re: Got any "sleeper" gear?
Obviously it's a pedal... but where did they come up with the whack name?
"Hey guys made this new prototype stompbox... I'm gonna name it... (thinking)... Blues Crab"
That's like making a new stompbox and naming it (going with theme):
Ska Squid
Djent Anemone
Blooz Barnacle
Rock Herring
Dubstep Dolphin
Metal Shrimp
and my favorite... Soul Minnow
Continuing theme with a twist:
Distortion Lobster
Chorus Crustacean
Phaser Whale
Sea Cucumber Overdrive
Octopus Harmonizer
Plankton Flanger
...talk about non-sequitur naming conventions...

Re: Got any "sleeper" gear?
Anybody ever own any of the Yorkville Bass Amp stuff from the 90s or 00s. -especially the YB400? I A/B's this stuff with surprising results all the time to Eden, Hartke, Ampeg, GK etc -and it was 1/2 or 2/3rds the price.
Most underrated bass gear ever -and they're Canadian, so you get a thank you with your purchase.

I have an original 1973 Traynor YBA, does that count?

Re: Got any "sleeper" gear?
I sure hope I'm not the only one who gets that "Blues Crab" is just a pun off of "Blue Crab". And I think "Rock Lobster" would be a suitable name for the sister pedal if Mooer ever decides to make it into a duel overdrive.

Re: Got any "sleeper" gear?
Dunno. My bud saw someone in that general genre ('90s hard rocking cool alternative band that is touring again or still) this winter and texted me all excited that the dude was playing a Marauder. He had never seen one besides mine. I just can't remember who it was, he goes to a lot of shows. He lives in Cleveland, I live in the boonies...
BTW, isn't the Blues Crab a knockoff of the Boss Blues Driver circuit? If they put out a Rock Lobster I would totally get one of each and run them side-by-side!

Re: Got any "sleeper" gear?
A friend of mine has an older Yorkville combo. BMT-something, I think. (Maybe it was YB-something.) It's one of the best sounding bass amps I've ever heard. It has 15" and a tweeter. The strange thing is, if you go to Yorkville's website, they've gotten completely out of the bass amp market. Just seems weird given that they made such a great product.

They exited the guitar market in the 70s when they were in the middle of making some of the best amps too -they were called Traynor then

Except my Traynor is actually a bass amp. Basically like a Bassman, used for guitar.
