Received my CCB at the weekend. It looks great, and is just awesome fun.

The only pedal I own which doesn't react with the CCB at all is my Raygun FX Beef Box fuzz. Just a standard nano-sized single knob fuzz, but it does nothing. even when I try and group it with other pedals, it just completely mutes the signal. Other than that, I've been having a blast with:

Boss HR-2 Harmonist (arpeggio harmonics, Rainbow Machine style!)
Aria Phaser (Cheapo, but howls like a car alarm!)
Nux Time Core (Budget chinese delay, but a very good pedal. Amazing decaying repeats!)
Any EQ pedal (Tweakable synth drones!)
Pignose Detonator (BROWN SOUND!)

All my dirt boxes just make it scream and drone. Really fun. It is the start and end of my chain, and I have my whole board going through it.

Here's a little clip of the HR-2 Harmonist and the Chk Chk Boom playing together. No other effect in the loop. Added a bit of reverb post-recording.

It sounds like when shit gets serious in Scooby Doo.

Ibanez PH7 -> MXR Carbon Copy -> Subdecay Spring Theory

The self-ocilating delay and phaser come through pretty strong, but it also almost sounds like a reverse delay (or reverse reverb, I guess)- so it's kind of like those three effects layered on top of each other (I'll try and do a demo of some sort).

Unfortunately, something in my chain is preventing the Carbon Copy from doing anything on it's own (or maybe it's just the carbon copy- I haven't actually tried making it work by itself), the PH7 still does't do anything on it's own, and the spring theory just makes some nice controlled feedback- cool, but not especially interesting.

Industrialectric RM-1N into Boomerang Plus into mini Gnomeratron. Rang plus in reverse lead or delay mode do SO WELL in a CCB, as does Gnomy. RM is tricky cuz has a FUCK TON of gain but still is awesome.

Reverse lead mode feedbacking: forward>back>forward>back and on and on getting more lo-fi due to sampling rates. OH BABY.

Zombie thread bump...

Any chance this pedal can be constructed in a Hammond 1590A or similarly sized enclosure?

Judging by the price of the last one that sold on eBay, I was lucky to acquire my feedback looper pedal, a Barge Concepts VFB-X.

I was sold it cheap to use with my Miku, more as a blend than with the feedback, and discovered that with the feedback control in the right place it made the Miku chatter quite entertainingly. Since then I've been meaning to try other pedals with it, but hadn't got round to it until recently, when someone pointed me at the DBA Total Sonic Annihilation 2.

While it looked just the thing for me to have fun messing about with, it did also remind me that I already had something similar, so rather than just spend money recklessly (that could be spent on other pedals) I've started trying different pedals through it.

So far:

CSIDMAN - very good, convinced me to keep it a bit longer (it was up for sale).
Bakvendt - interesting and very chaotic
Count To 5 - I've only tried Mode 1 so far, great buzzing fart noises
Moomindrone T - with the internal settings I have at the moment, a subtle version of the CSIDMAN

Lots more to try, it's nice sometimes to find you've had something brilliant just sitting there waiting for you to notice it :)
