Any comments about the Harmonic Booster? Do you have any idea about how does it compare with the Darkglass one?
I have no idea about either… never played the real one, and the Demon FX version never worked. Arrived broken.

Nice pedals selection!
What do you think of the Plumes pedal? Is it good for bass?

I could probably ditch the delay and add a comp. Or just run 4 pedals on a Nano but the ISO 5 is bolted on and has IEC.
I am still experimenting with it. Half of the board is new actually
At the moment I primarily use the EQD Plumes together with Fuzz and Wah (à la Cliff Burton) to add some mids. It sounds awesome!
My current signal path goes:
Bass>Tuner/Buffer>Comp>EQ>Oct>EnvFilter>Boost/OD1>OD2>Dist>Fuzz>Wah>OD3>Phaser>Chorus/Vib>Delay/Rev>Comp/Limiter>Amp

On its own, it's rather bass-shy. Not what I'd consider an ideal selection, if you are looking to retain all of your low end. When combining it with some other heavy effects, as @CheckBass is doing, I imagine this isn't much of an issue anymore.
Just got the Strobostomp this morning. Guitarist wanted a micro tuner so he's taking my Polytune Mini. My aging eyes prefer the bigger screen anyways.
Since I'm back playing, I decided to build a simple, minimalist pedalboard.
Are those Strobo HDs worth the $? I have a Korg Pitchblack that's probably 15 years old I'm looking to replace now that I'm gigging again and pretty certain something in the Peterson lineup is in my cards.
If you get one I would get the mimi for the top jack, I have two HDs. if the minis were out when I bought them, I would have bought those instead
I've used the larger Strobo for a while and liked it. I switched back to my Sonic Research Turbo Tuner because I like how extremely quick and exceedingly accurate it is.
But one thing I loved on the strobo was having the option of the tuner staying on when bypassed: that's a helpful feature. If I were to get a new tuner right now, I'd consider either the mini Strobo or the mini Turbo.

I've always found the Petersons to be very finicky when tuning. Very precise, but *very* finicky. The TC Polytune 3 has been just as accurate IME, and quite a bit cheaper.
How do you access the tuner on the EQ2? Does it require a 'long-press' or is there a mode where it reacts like a 'normal' tuner ('normal' click..), if you know what I mean?
It's a kind of long press (though maybe one could access more easily with a midi controller)
Thx for the input everyone! I definitely will look into both of these, I know the Turbo is and has been a favorite for a while and Peterson is always going to be top tier. Will check out some video demos and go from there. Fast tracking is a big plus for me. I think my Korg is more accurate, slightly, than my trusty TU-2, used as a backup, but it definitely tracks slower on my lower tunings. Not a ton, but definitely noticeable.
I have mine set, so a press/hold turns the tuner on almost immediately. I only use one EQ setting, so it works for me, perfectly.
