Broughton Audio Super Thread

Josh Broughton made pass filters on drive pedals cool again. Should be a fun afternoon.

I’ve had a good Broughton run lately, HPLP, ParaEq, and SVD on the way.
I’m feeling oddly content right now.
I haz Solarian so I’ll be out this Friday, good luck to you all. I will be looking for new merch, though, seems like an easy way to support Broughton, win-win for both sides…

-Edit: Also, I read SV and SVD as sous vide and sous vide deluxe, lol.
 
Ha ha, yeah...not sure I'll ever get them all but happy to keep trying. Is there a running list of all the pedals (preferably a living doc like in Google)? If not, want to volunteer to put one together based on your knowledge? ;-)


Broughton Audio Super Thread - this is old, but you can figure out the adds.

That's actually just what I'm gonna call it now. Or Sous Vide Duck.
(I don't know how duck would be sous vide...)

It's not Broughton, but I guess I decided on that Afterneath. Bought it from a local shop, but it's one of those "buy and try" deals (they still don't allow in-store demo) so I have two weeks to decide if I'm serious about it.

I believe I am... this thing sounds huge. But it also dials back into a proper reverb quite nicely.

first impressions: the tones are awesome, but the tracking is very peculiar. It tracks awesomely, but is much more sensitive to "noise" than any octaver I have played. The normal rules for playing with an octave apply doubly so here, or else you end up with a lot of audible extraneous notes... I would consider myself "adapted" more or less to normal octaver playing, but this is indeed a different beast. Gonna put it on my board now.

Synth: Voiced
Dreams: Uncrushed

Read the tips on the product page, I have great luck with LPF before octaves, neck PUs, tones rolled back, taped strings are awesome as well
 
Synth and sub voice from SVD+ basic phaser from ZOIA + Afterneath washy delay is just synth city.
The nice thing about the very sawtooth-y waveform from the SVD is that it gives filters a lot to work with. The Chromatron and the phaser are having a field day with it. No fuzz required tbh.

I didn't really want to start using my ZOIA on my board but I don't have any other modulation pedals. Zoia normally stays in a stand on desktop for synth use. I'm looking into getting a proper phaser pedal soon... I'm somewhere between the Walrus Audio Lillian and the Mini Phase 95

I use a P bass with flats. I don't normally roll the tone off for octaves, but I may have to try that now for this guy.
I've noticed that octaves, analog at least, don't like all the resonation up high, and down low too. Placing something like a RFE or Studio Boost before my octave wrecks the tracking, clean it up, boost the signal and its about perfect, definitely down to a low G standard, E if I play closer to the neck. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that was the idea behind the 1st "channel" Clean, rolling the clean filter back is the same as rolling tone back, and that in turn feeds the Synth "channel". I use "" because they aren't different voices or channels, but its easier to understand imo
