Dannyalcatraz Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I just have to tangentially comment that I have I don’t know how many dozen stompboxes, and an appreciable number of them work with expression pedals. I do not own a single expression pedal. I’m certain that I’d have even more fun using an ExPed with many of them, but there’s a certain contrarian streak in my mind that keeps me from even SHOPPING for one. I don’t have a clue as to who makes them- regardless of quality- or what features (if any) are key. It’s not the only void in my gear arsenal, but it may be one of the odder ones, all things considered. 2 1 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

'S been a while, but I have used expression pedals with select effects- sweeping, parking, morphing; applications are limitless, and the results can be amazing. I guarantee that you will really, REALLY enjoy it! 3 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect your electronic rig would make a lot of pedals- the Mood included- almost unnecessary. Or at least emulatable in a cost-effective manner. 1 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Winston Psmith Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 @Caevan O’Shiteand @Dannyalcatraz - Thanks for the vote of confidence, brothers! However . . . I often think of Fripp, in a period between iterations of King Crimson, when he expressed his aspiration to function as "a small, mobile, intelligent unit." I share that aspiration, to the degree that it's possible. To that end, my live Novparolo rig consists of a small Guitar Synth (Roland GR-20) and just 3 Guitar pedals (OD, MOD, & Delay), and it all fits very neatly on a Pedaltrain 1 'board, in a hard case. @Dannyalcatraz referred to it as a "Grab-and-Go" rig, which describes it very well.

Winston Psmith Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Very impressive as an OD, but even dimed out, it never really crosses into full-blown Fuzz territory, which I was kind of hoping for. I much prefer the sound of it with HB's, although Andy seems overfond of the Bridge PU's in this demo? Would have been nice to hear more variety in the Guitar's tone going into the box.

Dannyalcatraz Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Next up, the Screen Violence from Old Blood Noise Endeavors. Not exactly new, but “back in the news” because they’ve started selling it in stores outside of the USA- until recently, it was only available directly from OBNE’s website: It’s designed for guitarists and synth players in shoegaze, post-rock and other genres where constructing pulsing, gritty soundscapes are often paired with piercing cleans. 2 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Winston Psmith Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'll have to check that one out more closely when I get home later. You don't often see a Dirt box of any kind with Dual In's, a VERY useful feature if you're running Stereo Synth sounds into it. 1 Quote "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too.

I would think!
