I really just want a tonal comparison, and to try out the LFO section. How about I send you my Xero for a week, you test them out, then you send them both to me for a week, then I return the Dusk and we compare notes. Drop me a PM if that appeals!

Old thread, I know… I wondered if anyone had a Dusk and lived near Derby? I really want to A/B one with my Xerograph, but have been unable to lay my hands on one. If anyone can help, get in touch! Shep

I was running 1 Collider and 1 Nemesis, but I found all the delay modes I used were on the collider so the Nemesis was overkill for me. However, I was finding the need to stack more delays though for huge ambient soundscapes and wanted to get a third delay on the board. As soon as they revealed that you can 'unlock' the Collider to run 2 delay or 2 reverb on a patch, I was sold. So now, I can run 4 delay or 4 reverb at once (or any combination), plus the glitched delay from the CSIDMAN at the end. It's everything I could ever need.

Dropped the expressionator as it wasn’t really doing much and I preferred having a touch more space between the Xero, expression pedal and Ricochet (for ease of tap dancing!). This is the happiest I’ve ever been with a pedal set up (okay, when I had all the Moogerfoogers on the board was pretty sweet). Right now, I don’t think I’d swap out anything - that’s not something I’ve often said!

Unfortunately, I purchased one 48 hours ago… for more than that

I was the same. Last drive in the chain. Sounds good on its own, or add it to any other drive pedal to just make it ‘more’. It’s a great circuit.

BDPG used to be my go to overdrive. I had a kid paint version that was on my old stupidly big board for years. Great pedal. Plus as you well know, Cluster Flux = Winning.

For the Xerograph. I don’t use that pedal as an ‘envelope filter’, I use it as a sweepable low pass filter. The pedal lets me sweep from full signal to deep sub, filtering out the rest of the signal as I sweep it. It allows for lots of synth swells and resonant textures.

It's been over twelve months since I posted my board so I thought an update was due. There have been a couple of small changes, but the core remains the same. Main shifts: Darkglass is gone (forever - there was always something 'lacking' with the DG pedals for me) and the SA Aftershock rocks. I upgraded my modulation hub from the Terraform to a Synesthesia, replaced a Nemesis Delay with a second Collider (allowing me stack 4 delays or 4 reverbs or any combination as needed) and my 'spare slot' changed from the Matryoshka to the Fwonkbeta. Though the Fwonk plays very well with the dirt section for some synth tones, it's a bit too 'funk' and the filters in the Synesthesia do a decent job for synthy tones as well, so I'm considering replacing this for something else in the same enclosure width - not sure what yet; probably a C4 or a Catalinbread CSIDMAN (if I can find one!). Signal chain for those that like that kind of thing... Input -> Boss OC-5 Octave -> Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler -> Source Audio Aftershock -> Red Panda Bitmap 2 -> Mr. Black Fwonkbeta -> GFI System Synesthesia -> Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe (+ Moog EP-3 Expression Pedal) -> Digitech Whammy Ricochet -> Source Audio Collider Delay + Reverb (1) -> Source Audio Collider Delay + Reverb (2) -> TC Electronics Polytune 2 Mini -> Output Everything is powered by a Cioks DC7 (which hasn't even hit the 40% load light yet - what a power supply!) and cabled with EBS gold flat patch cables. All mounted to a Pedaltrain Classic2.

Please let me know how it sits in the mix! I don't have board space for it, but I still want it!

Valid point. Sod going to a bass bash anytime soon! ;)
