Alright Breeder's it happened again, I found a way to squeeze one more normal sized pedal (Boss, MXR, EHX nano, etc) onto my cramped board. I'm still toying with the idea of a 3rd H9 to replace my OFD, but I'm having a hard time dedicating an H9 to just 4 dirt presets (and that's all I could really use it for because of how I use my effects together (almost every other type of effect like mods, delays, and verbs I like to run overdriven signals into, so these other effects couldn't be on the same H9). So I'm thinking of putting a dirt pedal in that spot. I've been frustrated only having 2 dirts on my board. So I'm thinking of using the OFD for low gain tube grit and medium gain Rat setting. I love the sound of the SolidGoldFX Sasori, but I've heard it needs a blender, and I don't have room for one. Any fun pedals I'm not thinking of? Could be anything unique, and doesn't have to be dirt. Just having fun with options since I have the space!

So you're thinking a dirt pedal??

Possibly, although if it was dirt, it would have to be something gated (or at least semi gated) and kind of synthy. I'm still debating on just sticking with my two OFD presets for dirt if I could find a more fun pedal to fill that spot.

I have not received mine yet but I have a Hudson Electronics Buzzard on that way that might fit the bill. The Blackbird also could be something that would fit?

All the talk about the crushstation.. spelling might be jacked.. got me excited for it but I don't care for it. I want a kill slay type dirt like a TGD algorithm. Couple features that I was pleased with were the gate and sag controls though. Wasn't expecting those. Also, the octave up and down control didn't sound fantastic, in fact I thought it sounded downright bad BUT I did think it was cool that they were even included. Some neat features even if not for me, I hope they continue to add more stuff to these.
