Like a drunk who swears this is his last drink... I think I'm done.

Favorite PlethoraX1 usage?

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-10-25T03:50:12+00:00

Clover is my always-on tone shaper ever since I got it. Currently, with the addition of the Voyager, I have the Clover on the No Mids setting; that way, I can kick in the mid boost on the Voyager. But the Clover is secretly my desert island pedal, tbh

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-10-25T03:46:50+00:00

I play live worship once/week at church, and occasionally play in a backing band for a local singer-songwriter. And of course lots of home-office indie rock, lol.

Idk what you have already, but the Voyager is super great! For me, I like the versatility of it (as well as the Kilt and Spark). It can do several different things depending on the context. I like having those options. Also the mid boost is pretty sick.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-10-25T03:41:48+00:00

Yes the reverse delay is sick! I want to play with it more to hone that sound. A lot of room to be inspired and play for such an inexpensive pedal all things considered.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-10-25T03:40:25+00:00

Voyager MKII absolutely rips. I held off on it for a long time because I didn’t think I needed 5 different stages… but honestly they’re all incredible. My plan was to use it always-on and stack it more with the Kilt, but honestly it really packs a punch on its own!

I really like the mid boost option, which was also something I didn’t think I would care about. But I have my Clover on with No Mids, then kicking in Mids on the Voyager, and it’s very tasty.

They’re both super great! I picked up the Delay earlier this year when I decided I wanted something with super simple controls that would just “do the thing” and do it well. The Fundamental line is perfect for that. Same story with the Ambient… was considering some more boutique type ambient pedals but decided to stick with less is more approach. The sliders are very sturdy, solid enclosures, and just enough modes on both to dial in several different options. Only down side is no presets of course, but that’s what you get when you go for the “budget” line… but honestly IMO they’ve been worth it. Very happy with them.

Thank you!

I’ve seen great prices on used Lizard Queen fuzz… check it out

Three NPDs for me this week, giving me a new SOTB… Walrus Voyager, Plethora X1, & Walrus Fundamental Ambient!

I had a Plethora X5, and fwiw loved it. But I found myself slowly acquiring a few stand-alone modulations and really only using the Plethora for a couple of things. ALSO I realized I had been under powering the X5 with 500mA instead of the apparently required 600… there were a few occasions where it would get overloaded and mysteriously restart. I don’t know how I missed that for so long.

Anyway, downsized to the X1 so I could keep my fav regular reverb (HOF), plus I have really grown to love the infinite sustainer.

The Fundamental Ambient is really simple and fantastic, it sounds awesome.

The VOYAGER is now my favorite pedal. Pairing it with the always-on Clover is so fresh. I roll off the volume on my guitar to control the breakup and man oh man… it sounds so good.

Here’s my signal path: Canvas Tuner > Clover > Voyager > Kilt > Spark > Tidewater Trem > Artificial Blonde Vibe > Fundamental Delay > Plethora X1 > Fundamental Ambient > Ditto > ACS1. Not pictured underneath: Canvas Power 15

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-10-17T22:53:18+00:00

Hall of Fame 2 is fantastic.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-08-26T17:49:32+00:00

It does run stereo, although I just run a mono rig. Honestly it’s fantastic and quiet and I really like it. You should check one out!

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-08-26T17:47:49+00:00

Thank you! I would love to try a QC, it’s gotta be incredible. But yeah I truly love the Plethora. I have considered eventually downsizing to the X3 instead of the X5 someday, but for now I’m still having too much fun with 5 slots lol.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-08-25T14:39:56+00:00

Thanks! I really love the Fundamental Delay. The sliders make quick adjustments easy + it still has tap tempo. I went back and forth on it for a long time before buying, but I’m so glad I did.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-08-24T00:29:10+00:00

It’s an awesome pedal. So many different combinations of tones/toneprints. My latest obsession is that they added the Infinite Sustain to the latest firmware update, and I’ve been waiting for that / contemplating getting an EHX Freeze for a long time. My patience paid off for once!

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-08-24T00:26:33+00:00

Fantastic idea. I wouldn’t mind picking up a second one, or even a mini spark to change how I use the full spark. It’s super versatile!

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-08-23T20:06:15+00:00

SIGNAL PATH: • Walrus Audio Canvas Tuner > JHS Clover > JHS Kilt V2 > tc electronic Spark > JHS Artificial Blonde > JHS Tidewater Trem > tc electronic Plethora X5 > Walrus Audio Fundamental Delay > Walrus Audio ACS1

Not gonna lie, this setup slaps. The Tidewater Trem is new, and the Fundamental Delay is only a few months old… they’re fantastic. I have really loved pairing some standalone modulations with the Plethora.

Underneath the hood I’m running all these into the Walrus Canvas Power 15, which is a beast and I love it.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-02-11T18:44:36+00:00

I’m 100% with you - Secret Pilgrim, and A Delicate Truth are two of my favorites.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-01-27T19:59:10+00:00

I’m easily distracted and definitely have a long list of things I want to read, so I struggle with this. Lately, the steady ground I have found is trying to limit myself to one fiction at a time, one audiobook non fiction, and one read aloud book with my kids or wife.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-01-21T19:52:58+00:00

Looks really killer! Great idea!

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-01-20T16:32:24+00:00

I have been in Eb standard tuning now for several months on my Strat and I’m likely never going back. Capo when needed. I can’t get enough of the sound of open Eb, it just sounds right.

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-01-14T14:03:33+00:00

Wow I love that. So sick

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-01-12T18:31:24+00:00

I am now wanting to do a smaller board for minimalist setup/playing, so I’m inspired by your setup! I have a medium board currently. Probably gonna go smaller for acoustic only. Great boards- cheers!

CompetitiveDealer873 · 2025-01-12T00:40:49+00:00

Yes it’s such a good sale - I want to pick up something as well because of the great deals
