I have a fantasy where I go to dinner with Danzig and Dave Mustaine. I have to know who would be the most insufferably smug and condescending. It would be like Godzilla vs. King Kong, and maybe I could turn them against each other and watch the destruction unfold.

Throw in Fred Durst and I'd buy that PPV for sure.

I decided to answer my own question on the Count to 5 so I got one from Montreal Assembly and it arrived a week and a half early! Wasn't expected until the 23rd... Safe to say it does exactly what I hoped it would, only trick now is to figure out how it does it ;) Already really pleased with how natural it sounds to mix a swirling wall of texture underneath the dry signal. I was a little concerned it'd be too digital or chirpy but that's definitely not the case.
 
So I got more tax back than I thought… want to be silly and buy a goodie- have pretty much most tones covered and my sy1 is pretty decent, thinking do I go the source audio ultra wave ? Lots of synthy fuzz type stuff and if I ever want to go ultra crazy I guess always have my vst in my laptop…
Any thoughts?
Tweaking sound parameters on a computer is a real PITA in a pedal.
How do you adjust EQ, oscillators or attack\release i a live situation??
Pop out the laptop and stop the band??
IMO, IME…etc….if a pedal can be tweaked by USB compter, parameters should be readily available on knobs.
(Red Panda pedals for example)

My 2 cents.

yeah not sure how I’d fit it in for live use except as a set and forget everything and just adjust volume… it was my main complaint and why I got rid of the aftershock now you mention it hmmm

Exactly my point, it may have 567876545678765 fonctions and even make a good espresso but if you can’t access any with knobs than this tool completely useless for me live.
If used in the studio or at home, that’s another story.

Oups, this synth tone has wayyyyyy too much low end and the cutoff is way to fast, lets pop out the laptop during the 2 min line check.

My 2 cents,

Depends on how good the espresso is, really. I could put up with a lot if the espresso is fantastique.

Sadly, the espresso never lives up to the hype. Not yet...



This sounds really intriguing. Something I've been enjoying lately is running the Montreal Assembly Your and You're ahead of the Fairfield Randy's Revenge and letting the internal oscillators duke it out. Watching some demos of the Machine, seems like it would do some damage with the YAY. Some of this squelched hissing distortion sounds similar to the Unpleasant Surprise, which is also top on my GAS list, gonna have to do some comparison. Definitely some cool character in that Machine.

I want sound demos of every combination of pedals you've just mentioned. That would be Awesome!




hive mind:

cioks dc7 + dc4

what say you?

I was just looking at that combination a couple hours ago, you're a mind reader.

I'll PM you my new address, but no hurries shipping them to me...
