Hi all,

Anyone have experience with these? Any reviews?
Lets get crazy and take it one step further… Growler or Justice S10 3x4? Differences between the two?

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks,
David

No disrespect to the Growler, but I highly recommend the Justice 3x4. I absolutely love mine!!

The Growler uses a pull/release changer, and the Justice has an all-pull design. (The all-pull is a more modern and capable mechanism.) The Growler uses a wood pedalboard, and the Justice uses a metal one. (The metal pedalboard is stronger, more rigid.) The Justice uses standard legs w/machined endplates, more indicative of a pro-level guitar.

However, if cost is an issue for you, the Growler would be $700-$800 cheaper. So it all depends on you budget, and if a more professional model is something you want or need.

The cost would be a factor. To save $500-800, I guess I wonder if a Growler is a safe landing spot or if its junk. Sounds great online from the few clips avail but…

It is not just cost but resell value. If this is your first pedal steel, chances are it won't be your last. I find it valuable to invest in instruments that hold their resell value. If you get a used Justice, You are most likely going to be able to sell it for what you paid for it.
