ok so which will you prefer? which for you is better?
if you were given the option what will you choose?
and what features made you choose the latter?
glad to hear from you
I've played/toyed with the demon drive and the dw9k, kung papipiliin ako, honestly, wala sa dalawa. Kasi I base my decision not on features alone -- kasama ung price, needs and other factors.
Not considering price and my needs, kung pipili ako ng chain drive, most likely dw9k. (Though yung dw5k pasok na sa needs/wants ko). Kung pipili ako ng direct drive, most likely yung trick pro1v or yamaha direct drive. Konti na lang ang difference nung trick pedal dun sa pearl demon and looking at the design, mas gusto ko ung pagkaka-"engineer" nung trick. Pero for practical purposes, the yamaha direct drive gives me what I want/need at a price that is almost way below a demon drive or a trick pedal would. Though I don't mind having a trick and a demon drive, just won't spend for a brand new one.
(Kasi ang ilan sa considerations ko eh -- less parts to break, simplicity, reliability/durability and functionality and "cost efficient")
Don't get me wrong, they're all nice pedals as long as they work but since you're asking what "I" will choose, they're not what "I" need or not what I am willing to spend on right now.
PS
pero mukang mas mura ung pearl demon drive sa pinas -- hindi katumbas nung price sa US kapag kinonvert. So that might make a big difference to a lot of folks.
