Anyone try these? Any good? Better question..where the heck can I buy them? I don't see them for sale anywhere.....
I'll receive one in a couple of days - I've been curious about this pedal and found one used for an attractive price. I think I'm ok with doubles on a regular pedal but let's see. The Twin Effect can also be used for latin/percussion stuff, not only for hyperspeed metal (and you could hit like 300-400 bpm if you use a quad setup/2 Twin Effect pedals).
Anyway even Thomas Lang needed some time to utilize that split pedalboard function. So don't expect instant gratification.

thanks, wild Bill, but unfortunately, it ends there.....whenever I click on the iems from google, it says ' product unavailable"...fortunately i found one on ebay...Here you go: http://bit.ly/V3VISg
Also, use the search function in this 'pedal' forum to get people's experiences with them.
Looks like they make quite a few pedals.

Which one are you looking for?
.
I found this info in a post by Jeff Alameyda who has that pedal, too and is using it for latin perc sounds.(...) I may need to find another use for it, latin, i.e. as someone else said here (Arky?)
See pic ('borrowed' from the net). That's part of the docking system. The Sonor Docking System is to be clamped onto the bass drum hoop. The Docking System has a notch which perfectly fits that red tailpiece from the pedal. Once the Docking System has been clamped, that tailpiece is then inserted into that notch, you'd then use that silver lever to tighten the pedal to the hoop. Sounds more complicated than it is but might look a bit confusing.Thanks for your story and pics. I sort of have a little idea of how it works now.
What does the curved piece, mounted on the footboard under the toe area, with the rod going through it do?
I would start the other way round: Heel-heel, then toe-toe. That's the logical extension to playing 'regular' heel-toe. Of course you can start with the toe motion - which is great to have the follwoing/heel note accented. But for continuous 8th/16th notes I'm usually playing heel-toe. On the Twin Effect I'm simply 'doubling it up', utilizing both sections of that split footplate.Do you use the pedal mainly toe-toe, heel-heel? And would that be how you'd use it if you had two of them? Getting double heel strikes sounds like it'd be a bit tricky.
The pedal looks in fine shape. Looks like fun to play with.
