Anyone use either of these pedals? Any feedback? I’m contemplating them both but not sure if the grinder pedal is necessary. Or maybe it rules? Tell me.

There have been several threads about either pedal. Search for them and you'll find opinions. : )

It's a matter of taste using one or the other. I have both but like the Tall&Fat more, the Grinder is too aggressive for me but that might be different for you. I'm sending the organ sound from Out 3 of my Stage 3 into the T&F and from there into the Vent II, this adds a lot to the sound of the organ which is good for the kind of pop/rock music of my band.

I meanwhile like the BlackStar Dept.10 Dual Drive and Dept. 10 Boost more than the T&F since I joined a second band a couple of months ago which plays hard rock and blues, and for which I build a 2nd pedal board. The tube driven Dept.10 sound is much different, has more body and warmth than the Lounsberry pedals
