It’s a very inspiring pedal for me. But needs a looper afterwards to really fit into my playing style. Some of the “randomness” needs repetition so it doesn’t seem so random. One of my favorite things to do with guitar on the CT5 is to arpeggiate a chord and have the randomness set high. So it grabs the arepeggiated chord and then starts playback at random spots. So it’s sort of random arepeggiation. The CT5 is one of the few pedals that I’ve set time aside to read manuals, sit with and take notes on. So it requires some work but the results are pretty interesting/rewarding.
I also have an Organelle that I am criminally under using. So if you want a tester for the CT5ish patch you’re working on I’d totally be up for it. I could also send you sound samples to help.
I do not believe CT5 is worth after market prices though. So if you’re interested, mailing list is the way to go.
