What's coming and going XVII: The Relapse

The gammas that good at tube push huh??

It's just different from all my other ODs. It's very organic/natural. I still have to play with it more. Right now, I am limited to headphones since the kids are sleeping.


Two CN112s = Killer rig. What are you powering it with? I've got mine with a Shuttle 6 and it sounds awesome, but I've wanted a Tonehammer 500 for a long time!

Right now, it just gets powered by my LB-30 and it gets real loud, well, relatively for that amp. I may get another head for those cabs further down the line, but I also want a Phil Jones PB-300 so I am not quite sure what will win the GAS war first. But, definitely, if a local TH-500 or TH-350 deal comes up, I may jump on it.

I was also thinking about doing something different. Like, maybe the LB-30 into another Bergantino cab, like a 115 or 210 and then come out with the DI from the LB-30, go into a power amp and then into the twin CN-112s. That, however, would only happen if I come across a couple of great deals.
 
They're different enough flavor that I could see liking one and not the other. I've ended up keeping both though, because of that. Aggie on my main board, MXR octave on my bigger board. Both equally awesome IMO, just different flavors.

I still had a few days left for a full refund on the MXR when the octamizer came in (it was back ordered). So I hurried up and returned it. Keeping both would make sense...

So far I really like to the sound of the octamizer.
 
Someone asked for a quick review of a couple of Earthquaker Devices pedals - Rainbow Machine, and Arpanoid. Well, I got both a few days ago, and have played around enough to draw a few conclusions. 1) the Rainbow Machine is cool, but extremely limited in usefulness. It does it's thing, and that's about it. Not sure if I'll hold on to it for very long,...but- 2) the Arpanoid delivers. Play a single note, and hold it, the pedal creates a nice arpeggio up/down or both, major or minor, and choice of spread up to a full octave both directions, and length. Arpanoid will stay for sure. Hope this helps.
