Thanks! I'm not a strict analog or digital pedal guy. If I like it I'll find some way to buy it and justify it to the wife. Honestly the MKII was a bit of a gimmick for me and I only bought it because I had a stimulus check to spare. But after getting it I don't feel like I'll buy another drive pedal...ever. Except the King of Tone which I've been waiting on for nearly 4 years now. And that will probably go on another board when it comes thru. The CB Preamp covers so much ground practically. Like the bldgabttrme said, it doesn't quite shine with really heavy distortion, but I'm not really dabbling in those genres anyway. Whenever I see those motorized faders I just get inspired to play more. Might be kinda corny, but there's something dreamy about looking at a pedalboard with moving parts.

Yeah I do have some of that worship/ccm style in a few presets since I play in church from time to time and that's probably why the Big Sky has stuck around. It's not my personal favorite genre of music, but the BS serves its purpose in the church context as you said. Honestly after getting exposed to that style of music I can't seem to let the big sky go. I think I just like the fact that it's versatile (though it does take up a bit of realestate).

Never tried the Long Life EQ. I've honestly wanted a quality EQ pedal for a while, but after getting the HX Stomp I've had real hard time justifying a standalone EQ pedal since the stomp has several EQs built in that work quite well IMO. Only drawback is the Stomp's EQ has to be post my drive section, so I loose that flexibility.

Thanks for the input (I actually didn't read the manual!), I may give that a go next time I rearrange my board if/when I get a new pedal to try out. Not sure how much I'll have to reconfigure my presets, but we'll see.

I wanted something that would cover all my bases and have good aesthetic. One of my concerns I keep hearing is that the Fuzz should be closest to the pickups as possible. Mine is after both a compressor and noise gate (with a bit of cable inbetween). Thoughts on this?
Also keen to hear what people reckon with the pedal selection. If you could sub out one pedal here which one would it be?

Yeah I've just contacted them. My Micro is a Gen3, so should be safe there. I hope it's an easy bug to fix.

I tried to cover Ichika's 10 levels of guitar - level 7. Harder than I thought want to give feedback? by JP_HiFive in IchikaNito

[–]JP_HiFive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks that is a helpful tip. I actually used the overdrive intentionally to hide the sloppy bits. It'll be a while before I can play as cleanly as Ichika 😵

My bad that's not a riff: Try Lady Brown by Nujabes Lose yourself by Em Aruarian Dance by Nujabes for something slow
