Pedalboard Build #2/NPD Catchup

[JiveTurkey]

BAAAAAAHHHHHHH NOW I REMEMBER WHY I WAS SO HAPPY TO SWITCH TO MODELING!!!!

Holy god do I feel seen. I am nowhere near as convoluted of a board as yours and I know that feeling you are having when everything should. Just. WORK. And it isn't. After quintuple checking the wiring/cabling and layout. Modelers are something special in those moments of insane frustration

It was VERY easy to romanticize amps/pedals again when used in basic configurations in controlled environments. I should have known from just my Fuzz Face experiences between the studio and my living room that buzzes and hums were about to be part of my life again!

The Freqout also isn’t sounding that great in the loop, I think it’s just sensitive enough that it won’t be quite as much fun to use in this configuration. I started looking at my other pedals I can swap it with and that damn VP4 really makes it hard to reason why I need another pedal. Maybe I’ll just slap the Decimator in there if it ever shows up…..USPS hasn’t given a solid update since it hit North Carolina, now it’s just “Moving to next facility, delivery running late” since Saturday.

What do you think of the VP4 so far Drew?

I was hoping he'd flesh that out a bit.

VP4 is fantastic. If I ever get this band out of the talk about playing stage and on a stage with amps; it will be indispensable. Mods, reverbs, delays, pitch all fantastic. Drives are great to my ears as well. Dead simple to use and if you approach the switching on it like you should instead of thinking you need to force it into Axe III:FX Only edition; also dead simple.

My other problem with most of the VP4 demos I've seen is people running them into other modellers. I'd like to see more videos where the vp4 has been integrated into a pedalboard with some different amps and pedals.

Maybe check Andy Wood vids. I think he's using his this way.

Andy's are possibly the only ones I've really liked the tones tbh. Some of the modeller vids might be fine too tbf, but I usually check out once I find out they're running the VP4 into a fm9, axe fx or QC.
