have you seen the warm audio "warm bender"? I just had that pass through the shop sounds great has enough controls to play with, looks cool. I just finished someone's abandoned DIY tone bender project I will keep it, the schematic had a single typeo in it that cut the gain in half, so I fixed it and...

Hiroaki Nishijima, the designer of the legendary KORG MS-20 and of my beloved multi effects system, the KORG PME-40X, has also designed this polyphonic and sophisticated guitar synthesizer, the KORG Z3. It is a 4-OP FM synthesizer and it can be triggered by the dedicated Z3D Driver with the special...

A current generation DS-2 entered my work bench, im very pleased with mode ii sound!

At risk of being full , to me the newer SMD count as a variant because the GE-7 is relatively noiseless! But obviously it is harder or at least less feasible to do all the classic DS-1 mods

This is great! I actually have this same kit in my junk drawer only it didnt work even though it seems I built it correctly , turns out I do in fact have the unrevised version cctism labelled. I don't know if they have corrected the pcb but the one I build had some errors. Some of the bias connectio...

I tried a klon the other day and I liked it I guess I never imagined anything could hold its own against an OD-3 so I'll get one as cheap as possible, the real test is at band volume.

Indeed, it's a great score! The sound is absolutely great. It has very much in common with the later model Mini Pops 7 that Jean-Michel Jarre used for his iconic song Oxygène 4. I bet that it sounds fantastic through a set of effects, but the sound on its own is already remarkably good. I'll have t...

I have not updated my list in over a year but have only bought one new pedal since then: an FZ-3

nice! Would you say theres any overlap between FZ-3 & FZ-1w?

I have been experimenting with "sag" effect on the fender shields blender but it is a completely different feel like a hard tremolo(at least i dont know of any amp that behaves like that!! ) How do you find the Shields Blender? I'm a big fan of MBV but tend to get option blindness with too many con...

While I'm looking at them ... those four pedals together on a pedalboard sound like a solid rig to me! Thanks! After all I have basically settled on a more or less jimi hendrix setup but my musics not stuck in 1970. I find theres performance aspect to expression pedals obviously but also dynamics o...
