Well I just bought a used Lovepedal Eternity to see what all the fuss is about. It's a nice pedal; fat and clean with enough gain. I don't find it too versatile though. It seems to have one sound. The tone control is a treble booster and it determines how thick or thin you want the sound. That how it seems to function to me at this point anyway(only got it the night before last).
It's definitely a keeper. I thought it would replace my Power Screamer but I think it's going to kick the Timmy off my board. The P. Screamer is a versatile pedal and sounds different enough to warrant a place on the board. I'm also keeping my Luxury Drive which is the best light crunch rhythm I've heard.
I'm surprised about dumping the Timmy since I love the pedal. It stacks with other pedals better than anything. But the Eternity is fatter, gainier and cleaner or less grainy. I think the Eternity is what I wanted the Timmy to sound like by itself though, so.........

The Eternity only has one knob, right? You can't control the gain except with your guitar volume? You also can't control the overall volume? By itself tonewise, what do you get? Does it compress much? Obviously I don't know anything about this pedal so please review a bit.

I heard they called it the Eternity because it takes that long to get one. ; ^)

A fellow forum member was nice enough to loan me his Eternity so I wouldn't have to buy one blindly. The Eternity was just ok for me. It has that "singing" midrange to it, but it just wasn't for me. The same forum member loaned me his COT50 Red which ended up being exactly what I was looking for. The Eternity has 3 knobs. Gain, Tone & Volume. The COT50 has one knob labeled "Bias".

The eternity does have that singing midrange vibe. I usually prefer a flat response but there has been something about that midrange that I hear in clips that is different and very appealing to me. I'm not done with the Timmy yet either. It is a very different pedal, obviously very high quality and has so many uses. I have three OD flavours on my board right now and the board is full with 10 pedals. It's a real estate problem mostly and if I wasn't playing with this rock band, I'd have the Timmy onboard instead of the power screamer. But, I need a high gain rhythm and (PS) and a separate high gain lead so.....

Sorry I got the Cot and the Eternity confused, knob wise.

OK. Did a lot of experimenting and here is my overdrive line up:
power screamer > eternity > timmy > luxury drive boost. I took my tremolo off the board to make room. I don't think I'll need it for this band. The PS and E sound great into the timmy and the timmy sounds great into the LD. Now I have the LD & the timmy for 2 low gain flavours (and 3 stacking options for lead each) and the PS for heavy crunch rhythm (with 3 stacking options for leads) and the eternity for leads. That's a heck of a lot of tonal options, way more than I need. I feel spoiled.

Ive got a beautiful Custom finish Eternity that Sean Michaels hand picked for me, ( it did take about a month and a half tho! ). It is truly an amazing pedal, but, .......... not in every amp! Like so many, it is not all things to all amps. It does have a good bit of biting midrange, but not like a tube screamer mid hump, it's less and in a different range, Because of that, i do not really like it in my Rt.66. It sounds a little boxed and choked off in that amp. But plug it into my 65 Vibrolux Rvb, with a Strat or tele, .......... OMG! In a fairly clean, open amp like that, it is a VERY versatile pedal. Huge volume boost capability, Tweed like trebles and mids, to biting but never harsh plexi sounds. In between are great Ford/carlton sounds. I often like to set it with the gain nearly full, volume low, and use guitar volume. It excells at this, and one of the coolest aspects of it is in this scenario, when you max the guitar, the Eternity morphs into almost a fuzz/distortion of sorts,...LOTS of gain. For anyone who wanted to like the OCD but couldnt, or those that were not moved by the ZEN, ... Give the E a try! Again, in the right amp it's truly righteous.
