admiralchew Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Yesterday was an exciting one: a pedal I've been waiting for for a couple of years arrived. The backstory is a bit convoluted but I ended up with a 3 Leaf Audio Chromatron that was a little battered and losing its graphics. I reached out to Zac Sweeney at Malaise Forever and asked if he would be willing to finish it however he liked because I love his designs. That was in May 2023. A lot has happened with Malaise Forever shutting down and then reopening in a different form; there were times I wasn't sure I would see the pedal again so it made opening the box yesterday very sweet. I've posted some photos of the finished article below (and, as a bonus, I now have a box for the pedal!). 11 Quote
admiralchew Posted July 21 Posted July 21 It's been a big week or so for pedals here. Damnation Audio's Big to be more precise. Made in conjunction with Pet Symmetry, it's modelled after the Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard (a brilliant fuzz) and a boost pedal. Like everything of Damnation Audio's I've tried (MBD2, MBD3, Dirtfixer, Spite Box) it works rather well and actually makes me excited to play with a pick. Big-foot-esque blurry photo below. 5 Quote
pantherairsoft Posted July 22 Posted July 22 (edited) Mr Black Gilamondo Throwback Edition Eight stage phaser and damn, it sounds better than I hoped for! Edited July 22 by pantherairsoft 6 Quote
pantherairsoft Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Two in one day! Funky Puppy from @Higgie. Basically an accurate clone of the Chunk Systems Brown Dog and Agent 00Funk in one box. 10 Quote

(His being Horrothia's, though Pantherairsoft you've probably got some nice ones too!) I've been on a quest for a chorus for some time. I moved from stand lone to a multi for modulation, but regretted it. I've been through a lot of chorus pedal over the years and just had an urge to try something different - something that doesnt go with my usual needs. This video convinced me: I've been playing with it for a few hours and it's insanely musical. On both bass and synth (I have a Moog Sub 25) it's honestly stunning. 2 Quote

I'd used an Anadime before at a bass bash and thought it was very pretty sounding. I tend to use chorus more for that tool-like swirling vibe than the classic 80's use (with bass at least) and this seems to nail it perfectly. It seemingly adds a layer that just makes everything sound awesome. Excited to experiment with it over the next week or so. Edited Sunday at 16:58 by pantherairsoft Quote
PaulThePlug Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Likes a Phaser, started back in the 80's with an Amdek Boss-a-like Kit Likes a Joyo, have the 3 Knob Ironman Nebulous Phaser, (and the Rowin Nano) But this takes a battery... and was cheap! Not a fan of the Vintage Phase decal so scraped it off. Nice Single Knob Phaser, prefer Slow and Shallow these are not that overbearing on the depth. Edited 19 hours ago by PaulThePlug 1 Quote
bassbora Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Just got this today and already gave it a spin. Sounds great and is different enough from my Octbvre and T47. The sound options are great and a lot to explore and as Taylor suggests to pair it with a filter (preferrably Xerograph) and that is so true. I have read a lot about these and early ones had a bleed from the synth voices but this one is really quiet. Really looking forward to see what I can do with it. 3 Quote

HoorayForAnonyms Posted 58 minutes ago Posted 58 minutes ago After several months of waiting, the Iron Ether Subterranea has finally arrived. Described by Taylor at Iron Ether as a, ‘multi-timbral analog synthesizer and octave pedal’ it acts as an oscillator section for a great analogue synth setup when paired with an envelope filter. These were discontinued a few years ago but recently brought back for a limited production run. Hopefully they’ll be added back to the regular production line. It’s a great analogue synth pedal. https://on.soundcloud.com/CpmKMabzrIOQzEnS99 https://on.soundcloud.com/U5G8C0THhHiAINPoEz https://on.soundcloud.com/HmamFI3dmsihHflhpM https://on.soundcloud.com/aEdvwY6QUt0qnNTR8M 2 Quote
