My wife's various health issues appear to still be on the up and up, and she's finally rejoining the workforce of America...lol. Sooo...it's time to buy back/replace all the pedals i sold off. I've been playing my acoustic, exclusively, since about January, &i'm missing all those ambient tones. I still have my Fhusk Modded CS-3, Emerson EM-Drive, T1M Modded DD-5/Mini-Tap, and my Ernie Ball VPJr.
1. Catalinbread Callisto Chorus - I know i'm largely in the minority, but i LOVE Chorus. I rarely get really wishy-washy with it, and primarily use it for adding a subtle depth to my clean tones. However, when doing volume swells, i really like it's added modulations and variables when stacked with my delays and reverbs.
2. Diamond Memory Lane Jr. - I've always wanted to try some Diamond stuff, but never liked the size/footprint for my boards. I think the Jr will fit if i turn it sideways, since the input jacks are on the sides. Wish they would have put the power input on a side too! Anyways, tap temp with 1/4 note, dotted 8th, & 8th note triplet subdivisions is very handy, and the modulation is divine!
3. Earthquaker Devices Afterneath Reverberator - WOW! This thing souds incredible. Tons of features, and tones to be had in there for sure! From what little i've heard, i can only imagine how musical and spaceous it could also sound when dialed back a bit. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on one of these! Pre-orders only right now.
4. Emerson Paramount - My Emerson EM-Drive is one of my favorite pedals of all time. I've also gotten to know the owner (Mitch) pretty well these past couple of years, and he's definitely one of the good ones! The Paramount should give me all the right low and medium gain tones that i'm after in a harmonically rich and touch sensitive package!
5. Moog MF Drive - This guy should cover everthing that the EM and Paramount don't cover and then some! It's got alot going on and the added expression pedal is too cool! I like that it can even get into fuzz territory. They don't have any videos to show it's softer side per say, but i can hear it in there and see the possibilities for my style of music.
All coming soon to a pedalboard near me...fingerscrossed!
