Anyone know more surf-oriented music that demonstrates the original oil-can sound?

Dont you guys have to worry about Black Pete over there, or am I confusing that with the Dutch?

??? That may be something that's going on in the Netherlands.

Yeah, I believe that's a Dutch thing.

Maybe a Black Pete would hand one out to someone (instead of cookies or candy) if you welcome St Nicholas appropriately. He's probably listening at the chimney now... Ho Ho Ho.

Hopefully folks will tell the UN to quit meddling & trying to tell people what traditions/history they should pay attention to.

Yes! It sounds great. It's on my list of "must have."

Either you surf, or you fight.

I love this thing. I had my first real practice with it yesterday. I must admit, I was a little worried about how it would play with the reverb, but it's just awesome.

A bunch of new video's turned up

Maybe it's just the way those pretentious hipsters play it, but the Black Fountain just sounds like a noise machine to me.

Overall , the Adineko sounds more useful and musical to me, just my impressions.

I'd like to redact my pretentious hipster comment. Those guys build great products and are clearly passionate about what they do. Their artsy vids and beards are all well produced and really cool. Perhaps its just my beard envy talking...

Anyways, I wish the playing and vibe of the Adineko demo done by Catalinbread could be played through the Old Blood with similar settings. Old Blood's Black Fountain demos are weird and noisy, like skeeter said. Their other demos are pretty fantastic (check out their technical demo of the procession reverb for non surfy reverb sweetness). But non Old Blood demos of the Black Fountain sound great.

Oh well, I guess I'll just flip a coin. Chipper is probably right, they'll both be really good.

So I decided on the OBNE Black Fountain over the Adineko. Why, you ask? Because of the mode variations. The BF has 3 modes: Modern, Organ, and Vintage. Modern is a clean crisp sound, and Vintage is a little gainy and of course darker (which is what I want!). The Organ mode is like a slap back on one end of the spectrum and a spooky vibrato on the other. Depends on the knobs, of course. But its a very cool effect and its something I don't think you can get from the Adineko. So, because the BF has more options, I went with that instead.

My first impression of this thing, when used as a reverb alternative, is OMG I LOVE IT!! Dark, sludgy, modulated waviness, with more than a hint of spooky. Silly adjectives aside, this is one of the tones I am looking for. It can sound very much like the Adineko demo, and it can do even more!

When used for more of a standard delay effect in front of another reverb, it can lose a little of its magic. The magic, after all, is in the oil swirlies on the repeats. So when plugged in to my vintage blackface reverb unit with dwell on 6, the repeat warbles are a little drowned out by the thick vintage reverb wetness we all love so much. It's still there though, and handy for delay/echo sounds. When plugged into a more modern reverb pedal (OBNE Procession reverb in my case, sans the modulation) you can hear it a little better. Of course, these are first impressions with a baby in the room and only an hour or so of tinkering. I haven't been able to proper dial anything in yet.

Anyways, I'm sure I would've been very happy with the Adineko. I just went for the additional modes. I love vintage tones (as many of you do as well) so its nice that we have multiple options for an otherwise long lost vintage tone box. You could get a vintage oil delay unit, but the price and tech difficulties make these two pedals look like very attractive options.

In short: If you want a reverb alternative or a cool delay to go with your reverb, pick one of these pedals up!

I can send a small sound sample to anyone interested. Just PM me.

I just got my Adineko along with a Belle Epoch and Topanga. Haven't had a whole lot of time to tweek and play around with yet as I'm out of town. Can't wait to get home! For the brief time I had before leaving, I love all three! I bonded with the Belle almost immediately. The Adineko will be a lot of fun to experiment with.

Either you surf, or you fight.
