dannybuoy Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Always wanted to check one out to compare to the Prunes & Custard... Well after Mike Kerr bigged it up and they got hit with tons of requests, they are reissuing it! https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCoYmtLNBu/?utm_medium=copy_link Edited August 26, 2021 by dannybuoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I did a little side by side when I briefly had both. The Red Ripper can get close to The Prunes sound, but the prunes is wilder and squelchier (for want of a better term) it is far more synthy. The Red Ripper can do a whole lot more as it can cop big muff sounds as well as sounding like a brassmaster, it's all to do with the RIP control. I sold the prunes to get a 5 string Yamaha, then bought the red ripper, and once again sold it to get other things. I did compare with some fuzz/filter settings on the C4 which were close enough to make selling them easier. I do wish I had the disposable income to just keep things 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Little addition! If somebody wants a Red Ripper Esq fuzz then the Emma Okto Nojs gets very close. It also has a synthy Square wave has an Octave down AND a nice Analog octaver. A very cool pedal indeed, and maybe easier/,cheaper to get hold of 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 If you want Prunes and Custard sounds you want a Prunes & Custard pedal. It's not like they are expensive! Mr Crowther will happily mail you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 I had one but sold it! Great pedal, should've kept it in retrospect. Would still like to try a Red Ripper though just out of curiosity. The TWA DynaMorph / MiniMorph are meant to be similar too, also some of the Source Audio distortions can pull off a similar sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I owe Mike Kerr for shifting my RR - went pretty much the next day for full asking price after he made his announcement, having not had much interest on here or eBay beforehand (cheers Mike!).

I can’t even find a website for them, just a few sites selling them for over £200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may work out £200+ even if imported from him directly, I don't think that's cheap. Loved mine though and regret selling it. There are other things that get that dynamic fold over Distortion, but the prunes is unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a look around they have gone global! The NZ chains have them and Paul has retired to his shed to solder and test by the looks of it. 289NZD retail here. 200 quid sounds like too many layers. That's ~400 NZD. Paul is an old man already already so you better hop to it before he retires to the big stage in the sky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
