I had a Source audio C4 but I just could not get into it so I sold it and got the MXR to replace it. The zoom lets me add effects without adding another box. I like the chorus and the Fuzz on it along with a few other effects.Rad! I really dig your gear! Killer pedalboard. I bet there’s some epic tonage coming out of the Boss OC+Envelope Filter
The mode switch on the Darkglass compressor looks so insanely dope I can’t even handle it! I also love that it has the gain reduction light-up VU type display.
I really miss not having that on my current compressor. So useful for finding the right compression to make everything even across techniques and EQs in a live setting. When I have that kind of visual feedback I tend to tweak it a lot for different songs, whereas without it I get a bit sheepish about adjustments especially without the time to really hear it.
I really love the MXR Bass Envelope Filter too! I bought one recently. It’s got such amazing friggin tone, but I needed the up/down sweep knob that the Proton has for certain synth parts I do.
The Bass Wah is pretty close to the sound of the MXR Envelope Filter I think so I really love using that! It’s also been fun to play with at the end of the chain with some other effects running.
I’m thinking of swapping mine out for the BOSS SY-200I had a Source audio C4 but I just could not get into it so I sold it and got the MXR to replace it
