Your board is looking really goodApproaching “final” form after some messing about this evening:
View attachment 53304
Added a little side board to host the Whammy and a “demo” loop for when I want to try a new drive or fuzz. It’s easy to remove from the main board when I’m not in whammy spazz mode. Which leaves the main board compact for fly dates.
I need to reprogram the Atom for some of the newer pedal movement, but otherwise I’m nearing the finish line for now.
Outs
Lost + Found. I just couldn’t gel with it. There were a couple cool algos like the grain tumbler, and the degradation on the tape delay, but the overall vibe of the pedal just didn’t do it for me. Some of the algos work in symmetry together, but some of the core algos I just wouldn’t ever turn to in isolation. I went ahead and sold while the market was still hot.
Ins
Reverse Mode C. I kind of dig CB delays and this one is pretty awesome so far. Have had it for a couple days now and I dig just using the standard delay, but crushing it with their modulation options. Really cool experimenting with the mod types and the offset parameter. The reverse delay is solid. I’m not a huge fan of the octave up bleep bleep bloop shit, but the sequencer believe it or not had some fairly nice subtle bird chirp effects if you leave it fairly close to defaults.
Epiphanies
- Finding out the pedals you really dig. I think I could reduce this board to just the BP1, Shallow Water, Thermae, DC2 and Cloudburst and be completely content.
- I have more fun playing a pedalboard into a combo than anything else in my rig. There is something really fun about sitting down in front of a pedal board and twisting dials, and tapping on stuff. I think if I ever downsized, (insert eye roll meme) it would be to just a pedal board and a combo amp.
Surprised you don’t use a volume or Expresion pedals ?
