Yes! I was looking at both the Dweller and even more so the Visitor. They definitely make some intriguing pedals.

There are some good non-serious-riffmaster demos of the dweller out there which helps! In my experience itā€™s nice to just sort of have on as a more typical phaser but is more fun to use in a more hands on way. I imagine someday it will get old but just flipping the switches while something is running through it is fun :upside_down_face:

It took some serious discipline for me not to buy the obne rever recently. That said, I will not be checking out the visitor :wink:

#107

try to use the meris hedra on drums or percussions. i find it tedious for melodies but fun for different rhythms.

as for lofi anything from drolo fx is my first choice espacially the molecular disruptor.

Been diggin on the Dark World myself. Great reverb. Really bridges the gap between all the things I liked about the Blue Sky, but with enough dirt in there to keep it interesting.

I do have a pretty nasty case of GAS for the OTO BAM, which was preceded by a crush on Chase Blissā€™ latest soon to be released. Hoping the OTO will be the end of my $$$ reverb search.

Check out the Vongon Ultrasheer. Itā€™s another 70ā€™s inspired reverb, but also has a vibrato section. Iā€™m really enjoying it so far.

anyone using a chase bliss midi box (or something like that) with norns? thinking about diving into that world

#111

wasnā€™t aware of this but looks useful if you have a few trs midi pedals you want to control w/ norns (though this looks more useful?).

I just went through with buying most of the adapters needed to send midi both ways w/ Zoia & norns - I guess with the box you lose out on two way communication? (Iā€™m a midi noob)

I do use norns to control volante. thatā€™s a simple usb cable. modulating something like 20 params with lfos and clocked random is ridiculously fun.

#112

You might take a look at the Morningstar controllers. I donā€™t have one, but they look really cool!

I do have a chase bliss midi box, and have thought about trying to hack together a script meant for modulating pedals. Just havenā€™t gotten around to it.

#113

I use one on my guitar board along with a Morningstar MC6 to control Dark World and a Tonal Recall. Works very well.

#114

yeah, the disaster area box is a little more universal. i already have the chase bliss midi box though. i think youā€™re correct that using something like this is just one way communication.

iā€™d be interested in whatever script you come up with! i havenā€™t dipped into scripting yet, but down the line might end up working on something. modulating specific channels and CCā€™s (synced to a clock or free rates) would be super fun.

would you mind going into a little more detail here? are you having the norns control anything parameters on the pedals or is the morningstar doing most of the lifting?

#115

I only use the MC6 as it is really ease to use.

I have it set up like this with banks/pages:

The video should show this well enough in terms of the usage but hopefully this will help too:

So Bank 1 is ā€œHomeā€
This has switches to several other banks which I have generally done as a bank per pedal.

So Bank 2 is Drive (Preamp MKII) as an example. Bank 6 is space (Tonal Recall and Dark World).

All banks have a page toggle which I have put as a + in the top right.

When inside that page there are more switches available and a Back in the bottom left.

All banks other than home have a Home button in bottom left too.

Home also has a page of switches too on the + and a Back option as well.

Really it is done using bank jump and toggle page.

I recently discovered the joys of plugging LFOs into the expression pedal input on guitar pedals and have become a little obsessed with the possibilities.

Iā€™ve got an EHX Deluxe Memory Boy on the way that I picked up cheaply which looks impressive in terms of how flexible the expression pedal input is. Iā€™m wondering if it can go a step or two (/four) further, thoughā€¦

At present the DMB has one CV input for expression which can be assigned to any one of four delay controls via a selection toggle button. Iā€™m wondering if anyone knows whether it could be modified to provide access to all four of the controls at once rather than only one at a time. Has anyone tried? It strikes me as the perfect pedal delay partner for a synth if that could be achieved!

Donā€™t sleep on the Adventure Audio Again pedal. It has five (5) CV ins, one for each control knob, right on top of the pedal. So you can throw all of your sequencers/LFOs at it, and the control knobs work as offsets.

The other cool thing about it is that the out sends the dry signal to ring and the wet signal to tip on a TRS y-cable. So you can process both after if you want to.

That sounds incredible! Not easy to come by over here, alas & I tend to get hit with significant import duties whenever I buy anything from the US, but Iā€™m very interested!

Boss DC2W and Fromel Seraph Deluxe - Always loved Dimension style choruses and this works great with synths, I love it on high/fizzy/airy pad sounds the most.

Moog MiniFooger Drive - Very underappreciated/under the radar device, absolutely NUTS pedal that has clean boost, distorted FET boost/overdrive, the classic transistor ladder filter (with Res), CV input, and another crazy EQ style filter. A huge array of sounds can be had. I like to pair it with my Mood Grandmother doing dirty bass and leads. Insane on electric guitar too.

NOS Germanium FuzzFace - My friend Gael from TouellSkouarn built for me in return for some mastering work, but I only use it when I really want to destroy things!

Eventide H9 Max - Works as well for synths as it does for guitars.

I also have a reamp box from Orchid Electronics permanently hooked up so I can send any balanced line level tracks from the PC through it and into the tube amp or the pedals (or both!)

Iā€™m a junkie for the Recovery Effects stuff. Many of the designs are explorations of what you can do with an envelope follower + delay plus some distortion. They go incredibly extreme but each has a variety of sweet spots as well. Fantastic on all kinds of sources. Just finished an EP that makes extensive use of their Viktrolux (no longer made but could get maybe get close to it with Cutting Room Floor).

#122

Anyone have recs for a flanger that can stay relatively static? Looking for a comb filter effect.

#123

I had the original EHX Electric Mistress once. It had some setting that didnā€™t move. ā€œFIlter matrixā€ - or something?

Yes, here it is at 4:40

I only just got onto the latest Tensor firmware update, making it stereo and accepting midi in the expression input, pretty epic update.

I want to control the the loop decay time using midi. I tried using a faderfox UC4 connecting direct from the mini trs midi out into the Tensor but no joy, do I still need something like an Empress Midi Box? I have a couple of Chase Bliss pedals too Iā€™d like to control.
