I have to admit that setting this all back up after moving it into a new room is a bit overwhelming. 😅 lol

It's been a while since I've used these. I've been using my "mono NativeAudio rig" or simply a multi-effects pedal for daily practice. So, now I'm redoing the signal path and all that. It'd be much easier if I had a loop switcher but that's gonna run ~$2k so.. gonna be a while.

As usual, #AlexanderPedals is having a #Fridaythe13th limited edition artwork pedal. Today's is a flanger with cats.

I saw some #rackmount 31 band EQs that have #MIDI that were made in the 80's and 90's. The ones currently in production do not. It feels like we've taken a step back. 🤨

Granted, there are two fantastic digital #effectsPedals that do and have more features than anything else. (Aside from the #Cranborne Carnaby he2 that has USB for #DAW control and saturates boosted frequency bands.)

*shrug*

On one… foot, I like the idea of *utilities* being in a rack. My other foot doesn't care and just wants to easily swap between presets.

This is brilliant. I picked up a #DBX 166a last year. I haven't used it much. Was <$50. Maybe one day I can send it it to be modded and tuned up.

There needs to be more companies out there maintaining and modifying more gear.

The worst part about #Mondays is that all the pending transactions from my bank account clear out. 😖 lol

The good news is that I put one of these on layaway. If you're not signed up to all the brest newsletters, you're missing out on 25% off sales.

First I found #Strymon, then I found #TRexEffects and wanted the #analogue tape delay and drum delay. Now they came out with a stereo version. Now I understand what the Strymon Volente is about and want that for when I can't afford to use the real stuff.

I've been looking through my Docs folder at the PDF for so long I totally forgot which I was originally trying to find. 😵‍💫

Oh. I needed a reminder about what that #Behringer Ultramizer Pro rack unit does. It seems like a digital all utility piece.

I'm not sure why there aren't more of these because exactly what I want is one robust rack unit that handles gating, limiting, compression, equalizing, stereo widening, and tuning because why not. lol. With #MIDI. The point of #rackmount gear is that it is more powerful than pedals.

Here's one way to use a tremolo pedal.

Plug it into a parallel mixer / loop switcher with a distortion so it blends the distortion in and out to give a noxious pulse.
Plug a fuzz into a different loop and run the dry signal through.
Reverb full wet with its own overdrive pedal in another loop.
Blend to taste.

Yes, I am using three different #NativeAudio distortion #effectsPedals tonight.

I'll have sound samples... after I get that set up and figured out. 😅

This was a good read. See URL for tl;dr.

I bought a #FuzzHugger #Doom Bloom back in 2017-2018. It was the second pedal I ever bought behind the much recommended #RolandBoss MT-2 about a decade prior. It's still one of the best #fuzzPedals I ever heard.
