I posted this in the thread where you asked for thoughts about it, but it bears repeating:

insubordination wrote:Got one and I love it. I would definitely recommend using an expression pedal with it, but you could get by without it. I use the exp. to control feedback, and set it so toe down creates a washy fog, but doesn't run away or get uncontrollable, and then I can just pull it back when I need to, and often just leave the pedal on all the time when practicing. The drive knob can add a LOT of gain, so I rarely turn it up past 9:00. It sounds really nice though, I wonder if it's similar to the MF Boost circuit? Just a good, clean boost that makes dirt before it sound better. The repeats don't get super duper dirty, nor are they hi-fi...they're just very pleasing.

My one minor gripe is I wish the second exp. function was for mix and not time. Mix knob all the way down doesn't take the repeats out of the signal path entirely, so it's like 2% wet to 100% wet, which can be cool. But it would be nice to set a nice hazy fog of repeats and then fade it in and out. Using expression for delay time is fun, but not practical for me personally. I could see a use for it though. All in all, great pedal!

Am I the only one who always thinks "I'm going to post my board when I'm happy with it, which will be soon." And then I'm never happy with it and never post it?

Done with all the wire (I'm starting to hate Lava plugs).

Yeah, I had some Lava cables and I move my stuff around too much for solderless cables, apparently haha

Updated the big home board yesterday:

Super Duper Clone -> Fat Sandwich -> WSoU -> Aqua Puss -> Sonar -> RAT -> Multiplay -> BitQuest -> Carbon Copy -> Hall of Fame

Essentially I just swapped out the Dirge silicon boost for the Super Duper so I could have two boost channels. I moved the Fat Sandwich to where the Big Spider was, and then put the Rat where the Fat Sandwich was.
Moved the BitQuest mode from the filter settings to the pitch shifter modes, and have it set up so on one side of the expression wheel its a chorused 12 string sound, and the other side of it sounds like a clean bass track under the guitar

When it happened I more or less echoed you fellas. :cool: :hug:
As they aligned it felt like I was venturing into uncharted territory...sounds it, too. I've seen 2 DMMs in a setup before (pretty sure in It Might Get Loud) but 3? :eek:

Here are some notes on the signal chain:
Fuzzrite > '69 > Deja Vibe > HP > phase-O-matic deluxe > dual TB loop > Reverbamate > Dry out > amp Normal Ch; Wet out > Elements > violet TB loop > amp Bass Ch (~67 Selmer TNB 50mk2). Everything in front since non-master no-loop no worries.

loop 1: '80 DMM (middle) ~400ms/Vibrato
loop 2: '78 DMM (left) ~200ms/Chorus
violet loop: '80 DMM #2 (right) ~200ms/Vibrato

EV-5: Elements with severe bass cut and boost @1200Hz, adding ~20dB gain no-clip...to blast the 3rd DMM (and amp) with 100% wet, max-dwell reverb
EX-P: Manual phasing





Also Sylnau's setup does rule. That dirt section...and I wish my Elements were that finish :cry:
