I figured it was more about the getting married thing. Every married man knows happy wife happy life and if the wife isn't into pedal demo'ing...
Glad to see you back at it though!!! Get them in before married becomes married with kids.

Not a married thing, haha. My wife if a professional symphonic classical musician. So she knows the music life. It was definitely a financial and pandemic related lull. I also started a new 'career' in software engineering. So that took some time to get to used to that shift.
Just finished watching. Awesome review/demo, as always. I'm glad you're back, but my bank account is less thrilled... I've never found anything that tops my Analog.man/MXR Vintage Phase 90, but this may be a contender. So many good sounds!
Was playing around with the Volante's Sound on Sound looper last night.
Chase Bliss + Meris Automatone CXM 1978 Reverb
It's a very nice sounding unit. I think it's the first reverb I've heard that shakes the mighty H9's tree. For me, I'm happy with my current H9's, it's a size / cost / features / OMG the H9 still rocks and holds it's own decision. But I do think this new CXM 1978 sounds a bit sweeter and fuller, plus the internal cross over / mixer is very desirable.
Yep, it’s a seriously great sounding pedal and the big deal sure is to see exactly what’s going on in every preset change. Still, I feel the h9 keeps holding it. But it’s a love/hate when tweaking without the app…
Honestly Eventide reverbs are still some of my favorites. The CXM isn't for everybody, but it is a very special pedal.
First time getting a Meris pedal into my studio. Hedra!
That was a really great demo, as usual! You, Amos Heller, and Hondo Felder are THE benchmarks for bass guitar pedal demos!
I dig everything about the Hedra, but I know my pitch shifting needs really only extend to half and whole step down tuning. That would be criminally underutilizing a Hedra, although I'm currently using an HX Stomp for that same purpose.
Still, I need the pitch shifting functionality, I HATE the Digitech Drop AND the EHX Pitch Fork, and I'm obviously ok with criminally underutilizing a pedal, so maybe the Hedra wouldn't be a bad idea?!
Thanks for the great content!
Man makes me wish I hadn’t sold my v1 some days… the growl from the low b is just instant holy grail fuzz tone! Just wish it didn’t rely on the blend so much though and acted more like the functionality of the 3 leaf with an octave up and non octave up mode.
I had two. I didn't realize that he was going to make that mod standard (looks to be that way), so I had him make two incase somebody else wanted to try that mod.
People have been asking about this one for a while, Meris Ottobit Jr.
