The event was great! The staff was amazing, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of stations that had variations of most of their pedal. Most station had guitars but they also had basses available. It was very nice sampling all of their different pedals. The Riverside sounded really good! I really liked it after the OB1 and before the Deco with saturation on. I also liked the DIGI. I have the Timeline already but it seemed more natural for me.

Ok, now for the best part. Towards the end of the event they raffled of two of the Riverside. Mine was fist number called. I am totally ecstatic. They didn't have any for me to take home. I am expecting it in the mail hopefully sometime this week.
A little about me and dirt. I like OD. I have both the Darkglass Microtube and B3K. I also own a Palisades but really only use it when messing around on guitar. I have been on the fence this last few weeks about picking a OCD. My guitarist let me barrow his a few rehearsals ago and it sounded great in the mix. He also just purchased the ED Grey Channel that I am interested in trying out. Needless to say the Riverside is going to have stiff competition at my place but I am still very eager to get it set up with my gear and use it in a few rehearsals. More to come.

Post in the effects forum on TGP when you get it, there are already well over 50 dedicated pages of threads since Strymon started teasing it a week ago

A question for Timeline owners; I've just got a hold of one and checked its firmware version. It's about 4 years old. Looking through the firmware releases it seems that they've fixed various MIDI, looper and other functional stuff but haven't changed the actual sounds available.

Can anyone confirm this please?
 
Anybody have experience with the Strymon Ola here? I'm looking for a more versatile chorus pedal. I love my Tech 21 and think the tone is great, but other than the static detune sound I find it doesn't have much else going for it. I'm intrigued by the Vibrato stuff the Ola does, along with its chorus tones. Also trying to convert more of my effects to stereo in/out now that I'm running a stereo rig. From the few demos I've seen of the Ola on bass, it sounds like it could be good. Just looking for a bit more input before I pull the trigger
 
SUB'D...
So glad I found this thread. I've come to the conclusion that I want to create some ambient sounds, plus fill in some holes for my church services. I've been really drawn to the DIG, and Blue Sky.

Looking forward to going back and reading the thread. I hope you guys won't mind me picking your brains about the Strymon pedals.
Anyone use the DIG? I haven't had any luck finding video of it with bass

I played the DIG briefly and really liked it. I want it now even though I already have the Timeline. It seemed really easy to use in a smaller box. I also own a Bigsky. It is a great reverb pedal but it has more then I need and is large. I typically use the three reverbs on it Bluesky has and shimmer. This makes me want the Bluesky also. Sorry I do not have a ton of experience with both your choices. I have played them both and now want them both despite owning the larger counterparts or maybe because I have them. Really I do not think Strymon makes a bad pedal. If you are looking for quality and great tone you are on the right track IMO.
