SHOW OFF YOUR PEDALBOARD!

My current lay out.

So I blew my board up trying to organize and trouble shoot, and changed power tubes in my amp......

Decided to remove the mx5 from the whole deal ....and I'm not mad at all. I think I'm done with that thing. I can coax modulation from my delay ...with a clever trick, so I really don't need anything else.

Not sure if it was removing the mx5 from the equation, or if the tubes made a difference. ( I swapped back to stock 6l6s a while back.....ran el34s for about 10 years before that....so I went back.)

Honestly, this thing sounds way better now...and extremely responsive again.....and way louder ..not sure what happened with all beautiful my sounds......well it's back now.😀

Wah, Drives and Synth in front, eq, delay and reverb in loop. Decimator doing double duty of course!😝

I even swapped my brigade(ts+Timmy) for my KOT clone again.....love that thing.

Well there's that. Keep rocking!!!!

MX5? Mazda or Headrush?
 
Ordered some cables and boring shit from Thomman and I just couldn’t help it, but i ordered this to.

Will try it out tonight after kids boxing practice. But from what I’ve seen/heard it seems cool for the price.. yeah… it’s cheesy copying of Strymon looks. But it seems it packs a punch.

Later!

Nice! It's pretty good, from what I've read. I was on the brink of ordering one some time back, then decided to get separate/dedicated delay/reverb pedals instead.

I think, this is a fun pedal to add to the palette of others. Just updated its firmware and played through its settings for 5 minutes before I had to drive the kid. It’s promising. 6 very distinctly different algorithms. Very diverse. Will report back later.
 
Ok. I just had to velcro that fucker down because it’s a keeper. For the price, the amount of small good features is outstanding.

So. Delays are basic standards.
A analog, bbd style, dark, 40-400ms.
A tape with the typical tape modulation, can oscillate. 55-550ms.
A digital, clean delay that has a triplet or something added when repeats are increased. 80-800ms.

They sound good, easy to adjust. Tap function is brilliant, no hold to activate, just tap even if the delay is off. Tapping negates the preset time frames, so any of the delays can go up to 1,5 seconds.

Spring, does subtle spring and it does huge, in what I believe is an unrealistic way but interesting. The “drip” and initial “boing” is preserved like a fixed pre-delay but when maxing out decay the pedal just grabs the spring tail after the “boing” and send it to the moon. Very cool. Also has freeze.

Plate is very nice and lush, not too bright and not too metallic. It does a shimmer on “hold” but it’s kinda cheesy and I won’t be using that.. it’s just too much of it. But the plate is huge when maxing out the decay and level.

Hall is darker and has a rumble to it that is kinda dramatic if maxing the level. Does freeze on “hold”.

Overall I’m impressed by the reverbs, they do subtle just fine. But to my surprise they do big and huge good to, good enough for a post-rock nerd like me. I was worried about not having more controls than Level and Decay but they are very well balanced both for subtle stuff and huge stuff. The simplicity is well weighed against its features. Doesn’t matter how I turn the knobs, because everything sounds good. Also cool that they made it so maxing out the knobs has a useable sound, because then it’s easy to remember.

Other small good features: db switch -10 or -4 could be handy, parallel/serial option is very nice for such a cheap pedal. Great feature to have. Order switch is also possible. No volume drop is also nice. Level (mix) doesn’t go 100% on delay or reverb, but the max level is well thought out and is plenty.

Overall yeah, nice pedal, worth having. It’s not a Source Audio or Strymon, but it’s simple and easy to use and it’s easy to get good sounds out of it. It’s wild enough for me.
