That’s what I was going for with the Aotearoa Intermodulator- homage to the unavailable original, and all black, because, well the link is my kiwi uncle introducing rugby to me… and also it looked cool.

 

Nice one. And yes your homage looks great

Can't believe how small it is, but it sounds great.

Made a new thread before I saw this one so, I'll share here too - this lil guy arrived today. 

 

Nice valve drive from NL, will be using it more to just warm up a signal when going direct.

This could be a little nice sounding guy.

So this just arrived from the lovely folk over at Anderton’s.

I’ve been sans compression on my board for a while since convincing myself I didn’t need it and selling my Spectracomp, but I recently came to the confusion this was a mistake.

As much as I loved the Soectracomp, the requirement to engage with software to tweak the parameters made me shy away from a like-for-like replacement, and both the Empress and the Cali 76 were identified as possible candidates. After a late night YouTube session I settled on the Empress.

Looking forward to getting to know this over the weekend and then all being well, gig it next weekend.

So I’ve had time to have a good play around with the various features of this pedal and colour me impressed. The tone control with the added harmonic distortion could become addictive. I’ve only tried it through headphones thus far, and I’ll have to see how that mod-scoop sounds live, but suffice to say she’s making her way onto my pedal board in time for next weekends gigs 😎

Wanted something with a DI. Looked at much dearer stuff but not really gigging much so couldn't justify it. This is the same as the Caline pedal which sounds good on Youtube so I pulled the trigger on Temu for a tad over £30. Might be alright, might be crap but what the hell.

Hey ! Thanks for the mention

 

if anybody has any questions about the pedal I'd be glad to answer them. 

 

Basically the pedal has a 6AS6 tube in it, running at 230V plate voltage but derived from a standard 9V power supply with a boost converter. The tube can be switched from triode to pentode operation and has a pretty neat sound !

 

Basstheworld did a cool short demo with it :

Turned up today so had a play about with it. Sounds good to me and is well built so for £30 I'm pretty chuffed right now.

So, used this on my gig last Sunday. Loved the way it tightened up my sound, but found that the harmonic distortion didn’t sound great through the PA so switched it off for the gig. Could just be my eq in the PA but, thanks to a delay at the Tyne Tunnel, I didn’t have time to iron this out. Further experimentation required, but overall very happy with this very musical compressor.

This is the latest addition, it's a high/low pass filter which I'm using as a 'thumpinator' because my new amp doesn't have one built in unlike the previous one.

It's a clone of a Broughton Low+High that I bought as a rough nearly-finished project and rehoused in a nicer/smaller enclosure. It's an always-on, so to be honest I needn't have bothered with the footswitch, but it was already built so I kept it. Annoyingly the drill slipped when I was drilling the low pass hole so it doesn't quite line up. When it gets so I can't look at it without cringing, I'll rehouse it again with no switch. :lol:
