Xotic RC Bass Booster

Red Panda Bitmap V1 -- wrote about it here.
Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail Deluxe -- this is just an outstanding delay and absolutely exceeded my expectations. Crossposting from the "what's new" thread below:
I've seen a lot of love for the OG Vapor Trail, inspired me to check out the deluxe version. Finding a warm analog delay with tap tempo, where the repeats don't get in the way of the main bassline has been surprisingly difficult. When I saw the features here, I couldn't pass it up: four BBD chips (1.2 seconds max in all but one mode), trails, tap, presets, four subdivisions, wet effects loop, expression, modulation, four additional delay modes. Surprise to me, since I didn't read the manual prior to ordering, the mix control is pretty cool and especially useful for bass. The dry signal is always at 100%. So full CCW, it's dry only; at noon, it's dry 100%/wet 100%, and fully CW it's dry 100%/wet 200%, and all the ranges in between. I haven't seen this feature in other delay pedals (I'm sure I'll be corrected if there are, and I'll be glad to look them up too!), and found it incredibly useful. Low end never disappears, can be up in your face with delay signal louder or quieter than the dry. It's really fantastic.
The additional modes are slapback, pitch sequencing, runaway, and pitch bending. All of them useful, though the slapback has been the least useful to me, ymmv. There are multiple patterns for pitch sequencing and the runaway & pitching bending modes are activated by holding the tap switch.
It sounds incredible, feels responsive and true to the settings (not Repeats surprises), warm, with natural decaying repeats, and great additional modes.
