Amazingly Useful or Amazingly Useless

[TaySte_2000]

This thing has hit me hard but I seriously want it



I was tempted to get a tap tempo trem but this thing is 10 steps above that.

I hope it makes me talk like the guy in the video as well

 

[WashburnBasser]

I want it.

 

[Joe Gress]

Crazy.

 

[rratajski]

Wowzers...
I couldn't use this on my board, but for someone using two loops, you could do A LOT w/ this.
The first thing I thought of was two delays...then I thought of two different fuzzes...

Lots of possibilities!

EDIT: I use two loops, but I keep all of my fuzz/dist. on one loop and all my modulation and delay on the other loop, so this won't work for me.

 

[TOOL460002]

wow- i like more options- even potentially useless ones. im going to buy the **** out of that thing- thanks for the heads up.

 

[Smurf-o-Deth]

O_O

 

[NL5]

That is a truly awesome pedal!

 

[rcubed]

I don't know how that could be useless. I could see creating a lot of interesting sounds with it.

The envelope switch is a really great feature. I've been looking for a good way to fire just the occasional note through an effect, and that's a very clever way of doing it.

I heartily endorse this product or service.

 

[bassteban]

Neat-O. I love new ways of applying efx. I want to see a way of effecting only a certain range- say from the 12th fret of the A & up.

I like it, but it falls short for me in two ways:
-The strum trigger is beaten by the Toadworks Enveloope, which blends the signals to different proportions based on signal amplitude, where the Molten is just On or Off.
-The tap-tempo features of the Toggle mode are brilliant, but need another footswitch IMO. I would get so infuriated by having to tap three times in quick succession and then hold the same button down for some set time in order to set a pattern. Imagine doing that while playing, or even in a momentary pause onstage! The chassis is big enough for three footswitches.

I do like it, but I don't know that I'd buy it even if I had the money.

 

[Zombbg4]

That thing is sick, my zoom h4 has an effect sort of similar that i really dig, but is not nearly as easy to control. Tons of options too, this looks like a winner.

 

[madbassplaya]

that pretty much sounded like crap to me.

 

[OhThePeacock]

Hmmm...Could have some potentially cool uses but I wouldn't drop 300 dollars on one.

 

[Swift713]

I really liked that swinging trem but I have a couple reservations. Like I think Bongo implied, it looks like a very difficult pedal to set up and use live. Programmable presets could be really useful. Also, it's the kind of effect that tends to dominate a texture and lock your playing into a rut when it's on. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Mostly, it seems a little unwieldy but very cool.

 

[bassman1185]

That is way too effing cool. I want one. My band would hate me if I actually brought it to practice, though.

 

[grovest]

This thread was very useful... because of the head's up on the Toadworks Enveloope.

edit, I was mistaken. I watched the video, and this is awesome. And hooray for the Bend greater metropolitan area.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

It seems cool, but I'm falling in the "amazingly useless" camp.

If I ever have a spare 300, though...

 

[roflol]

the demo made me lol

 

[niftydog]

Very cool. See! There are still unique ideas out there!

I noticed that the guitard was 'playing' to the pedal though - I wonder how you'd go fitting in with a drummer. I've never been convinced that tap tempo is the answer.
