Sampling your own sounds is a big chunk of the fun! I have been considering moving up to an ES2, by merit of needing something that offers intuitive polyphonic sequencing. I can ham fist my way thru chords for the sake of writing a song, but i need sequencing to actually play a song, and calling the ESQ-1's sequencer "archaic" doesn't nearly begin to convey how challenging it is. Wishing you luck!


Haha thanks! The sequencer is very easy to use, which is a big part of why I went for the es2. Looking forward to learning more tricks and properly using this for songwriting and recording.

I defintely find it more comfortable with the larger string spacing. More room for movement. Let us know what that pickup is like.


I'm hoping that's it, the spacing. The Bass VI never quite felt right, to either hand. And, yeah, I'm super excited to try that fat 'bucker.

Moi? I've liked it for light compression on bass, just to even things out and it makes chords sound fairly interesting. Drone Commander also sounded pretty nice running through it, takes the peaky blip of the filter down a notch while getting some more detail out of the oscillator interactions.

But honestly I've been playing acoustic more than anything lately so I haven't used it a ton.

I got to play the fairfield lineup at SXSW. my favorites were the accountant and unpleasant surprise, which I liked WAY more than the fuzz factory which I also played for the first time.

I've got a second Boss PS-3 coming sometime next week. I bought one for a very good price a few weeks ago and I really like this pedal (it works well as a delay, a chorus or a pitch-fucker). I saw another one for a very good price too (though this one lacks a knob but that's easily fixed) so I ordered it too. They don't pop up that often and usually for higher prices and in both cases I was lucky to notice them quickly enough I think...

The first one is on my small keyboard setup, the new one will probably be on the bass setup :).

I would also be interested in hearing how easy it is to use as a live jamming tool, if it is. Some sequencers just don't like to bend that way...

I am trying really hard to work with what I have, rather than just coveting bullshit, but working on music alone has me really re-evaluating how my setup works for me. Having keys is cool, but i really lack the space and furniture, let alone skill, to justify the hugeness of the ESQ-1, and would really prefer ESQ-m rack mount and more intuitive sequencer. I really want to think more about how my setup can interconnect and combine so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts when in my hands. Ugh. Working on beats with just the ES-1 has been a surprising dream, though, and I am excited to continue with that path.

I have anti-gas. The urge (and honestly the need) to purge everything but the bare essentials.

I have this right now, as well as multiple pedals in the hands of various postal services on their way to me. The Anti-GAS has been working its way through the confines of my mind for weeks now, and even though I have a bunch of absolutely amazing pedals coming to me and on my board I want to let the cleansing fires of a purge overtake me.
Listen, the WORLD is my board. All of the pedals are on it, just out of my reach..
