Good and bad day for effects

Sign in to disble this ad
It's been an up and down day for effects for me.

On the up note, two pedals arrived today: a new 3Leaf Groove Regulator fresh off Spencer's bench, and a EHX Nano Small Stone that I bought in the TB bazaar. All kinds of spacy funky sounds to play with! I wonder how the Stone would sound in the Regulator's effects loop...

On the down note, my Demeter Compulator has developed some kind of intermittent fault where it won't let any signal through. The LED lights up normally when I turn it on, but sometimes, all I get on the output side is either static, or nothing at all. It fixes itself after I turn it off and on again a few times, but it's happening often enough that I need to get it serviced. I am not the original owner of this pedal, so I hope I don't get charged too much for out of warranty work.

It's the balance of nature, I guess.

Nice. What's your chain on that board?

My chain goes Korg Pitchblack -> Groove Regulator -> Compulator -> BBM -> Stone, and I plan to put the Carbon Copy at the end.

a little hard and complicated to explain

Signal paths...

Bass to Phase 90 to Weeping Demon to Radial looper..1 loop goes to the Sparkle Drive to the Dark Boost to the EHX BBM and back to the Radial looper...the other loop goes from the Weeping Demon to the OC-3 to the Digitech Chorus to the Carbon Copy and out to a Sansamp RBI to one amp

the Sansamp BDI goes to another Amp (not in Picture is an A/B/Y)

I run stereo.....one amp dirty.....one clean

Pretty elaborate setup. I imagine that blending the separate sides lets you get some pretty unique sounds.
