NPD x2

[dystrust]

I didn't acquire both of these at the same time, though they're both pretty recent acquisitions for my Lead 12 board. It didn't work that way in the end, but before I get to any of that, here are our new arrivals:

My first thought was that I wanted both a flanger and chorus because I like flange for dirty sounds and chorus for clean, but I only have room for one or the other on that board. A little bit of digging turned up the Dreamscape, and it ended up working well. I'm not generally into signature pedals, I don't care for Dream Theater post-Falling into Infinity, and I have no idea how John Petrucci uses it, but I'm trying to replicate the CE-2 and MXR Micro Flanger on my 'big' board. The tone match isn't exact, but it's more than good enough for a writing / practice rig.

I bought the Flashback because I wanted to experiment with other types of delay beyond the low-fi digital delay from the DD-2. I started out with the analog and tape settings, but it ended up being the dynamic delay that blew me away. It's nice and punchy like the DD-2 / DD-3, but it avoids getting in the way and muddying things up while I'm playing. It sounded so good with the Lead 12 that I had to try it with the Jubilee, and now I don't want to take it off the 'big' board. I guess I'll have to find another one for the Lead 12.

Tone prints make the TC stuff a success even if you can’t use any of the factory other sounds.

Enjoy! Such great pedals. The PC Editor is worth digging into if you don’t find TonePrints that are what you are looking for.

Congrats on the new pedals. I have the Hall of Fame and Chorus, perfect for me. Llaying with the tone prints are a blast.

Sweet combo!

I love a multi-modulation pedal.

Of course, a TC Electronics Chorus Flanger would have solved this issue....but it's kinda big (but damn awesome!).

Re: NPD x2

The Flashback is a great pedal. I eventually sold mine, as I needed longer delay time on the analog modes, but for some reason only the analog models went to 800ms or something, while the digital models could do a lot longer. But the Tone Print idea is a great one. The mod delays are wonderful.
