Spent some more time with it today.
The Tape delay is really cool. It’s not a standard tape delay, but if you drop the Stability to where it’s almost new it’s really good and CB are great at those pristine ping pong delays. When you start to crank in into the unstable position they have a really vibey warble and splice effect. Getting that to sit in-time takes some fiddling, but I suppose it shouldnt be too predictable.
Grain Tumbler is very good too. Smooth them out, lots of feedback and large grain, it’s extremely immersive. I need to try to tame this into an idea and not just a noodling effect.
The Useful Ambience reverb is kind of cool. It’s more of a texture verb than anything. Slightly dark and dialed back to roomish space, its add a nice layer to everything.
I don’t think the phaser or chorus are particularly notable. Maybe I haven’t unlocked the perfect settings, but I wouldn’t turn to these for anything dependent on those effects in isolation. They may be there just for stacking potential more than anything. (I’ve been pretty focused on just figuring out the base algos and haven’t gone too heavy stacking)
Gen Lite is good. CB really have the degradation thing down. I quite like just noodling clean with just this on.
Orchestral Swell sounds like something that might be tamed into something cool, but it’s finicky without going too over the top.
Slowly coming around to this thing. It’s a weird pedal. It hasn’t knocked my socks off like the Mood or Thermae did right from the start, but a lot of these blues barista pedals take some time.
