Take a look at the patches on Patchstorage. Some pretty good ones there to play with. I usually start with a stick preset or ones online and then modify them to meet my needs. Eventide H90 | Patchstorage

This was an instant buy for me. Here's why... Recently, I built a couple of different compressors including an EQD Warden clone (an optical compressor) and a custom version of the Engineer’s Thumb Compressor (similar to a MXR Dynacomp). Both are really good but tend to be used for specific...

I went ahead and springed for a used Alpha Omega. After listening to multiple demos, seems like a really nice alternative to a B7K. For more vintage stuff, the MP40 does the trick. :D

I tried a Darkglass Vintage and, while it was good, I think the standard Microbes is a better choice overall...specifically the B7K. I find the Vintage a bit too dark in tone. The B7K can get there and then some.

Just got mine yesterday. I have a YYZ and figure the MP40 would be a nice upgrade to it. Have to say, I'm impressed. Minus the Boost and Shape Shifter button, it's a standard YYZ pedal. No changes there. The YYZ is a pretty darn flexible pedal to begin with. It's not what I think of as a...

I just recently started playing bass again. Picked up a 5-string Ibanez and really love it. However, 5-strings tend to be pretty long and have a lot of overtones...which isn't a bad thing. Means you get deep, rich tones out of it. However, if you want to do something radical like the whole...

So, I have an HX Stomp for the guitar side of my rig. It's a dual channel rig with bass on one side and guitar on the other. Gives me a ton of flexibility, even going so far as to do a Royal Blood type thing. Anyways... After trying a bunch of different fuzzes, I picked up a Ripped Speaker on a...

What are you using now? And what made you want to get rid of it? Just curious. This is all good info. :D

Strangely enough, I also ordered a SansAmp DI v2 which is likely to be a better replacement for the YYZ. Kinda want one that caters more for 5-strings, which the SansAmp does.

Ah, so I’m going in a good direction. One it gets here, I’ll do the Pepsi Challenge with the SansAmp YYZ. Should be interesting, especially since the EQ ranges are a bit different.

Yeah, I've been on the fence about it. I plan on adding a Big Muff Deluxe in the mix too. Two types of distortion along with a solid preamp should do the trick. I do like the SansAmp YYZ...but I would like something that can produce a similar sound but more versatile. Figure I can get more out...

Stupid late response to your post. I stumbled onto the Battalion today and decided to order one. It’s replacing a SansAmp YYZ pedal…which sounds awesome but isn’t the most flexible thing. I figure the Battalion will give me the same tone and then some.

And...I'm returning all my Zoom stuff. I submitted a support request about this weeks ago and just seems like Zoom can't wrap their head around it. I did try a few things including loading up a copy of Catalina to see if it helps. Still crashes. So there's something definitely weird about...

Strangely enough, that's one of the reasons I returned the BOSS effects processor I got originally before getting the Zoom B3n and G3n. Roland relies heavily on actual software drivers. While I had no problems loading them on Big Sur, they are not compatible with M1 processors as of yet. That...

Which is odd considering Zoom themselves say otherwise: macOS Big Sur compatibility
