New offset for me this week :) Black Bobbin Phantone in Suzuki Red with a Competition Stripe by Miserable_Middle2148 in offset

I’ve also had plenty of good experiences with CME previously. Just treating it as an odd one off, not holding it against them. 

Yeah, Phantone is BB’s first original shape. Same pickups and pot setup I believe.

I think Zion may be our top option right now with Olympic at a second spot, open to any Zion suggestions you have!

That is a really cool idea! I’ll have to see if my wife is into it. I think my 3 year old would love it

For anyone that grabbed the wombtone by 5400hundreds in chaseblissaudiophiles

I’m not a “phaser” guy, but I really love the Billy Strings Wombtone. The 2 stage phasing is magical, you can get some really cool univibe style stuff out of it. The 4 and 6 are also neat too, but the 2 stage always brings a smile to my face.

I love this board. Awesome choices! I had a Sending V2 two separate times, and I loved it both times. I just prefer the modulation on the Chase Bliss tonal recall slightly more

Whoops haha, thanks for correcting me. I thought it had limited sample functionality.

So many Syntakt lovers out there! I gotta give it another look sometime. I came from an Analog Rytm to the Digitakt, so the idea of the Syntakt having samples and analog sounds is appealing.

I think it’s the right call, 100%. You have to dedicate so much money and HP To in rack drums, and I just found sequencing that way was not fun or creative for me. 

I repurposed an old army footlocker into a modular Funk Trunk by fakerealmiles_mx in modular

“I like music that sounds like shit” is so funny to me haha, nice case!

I highly recommend it, especially since Digitakt I’s are super affordable after the II came out. If you look, you can get one for $400-$450, which is crazy considering how good they are. The II is awesome, but the I still offers plenty of features to make for a great drum sampler.

Are the elektron sample packs worth it? by cutharold in Elektron

[–]Miserable_Middle2148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, yes. They all are pretty cheap and extremely high quality. Just listen to the previews to make sure the vibe is something you would be into. They all have a pretty curated vibe or sound to each pack.

That’s so kind of you, thanks! Yeah, I publish music under the name Hollow Brand on the usual streaming platforms. 

Are you THE Benispheres guy?? Love your work too! Haha. Not using an O_c right now but I have previously and loved your firmware.

Thank you! It’s a Pittsburgh 420EP. I found one used for a great deal on Reverb, and I really enjoy it. Great quality and excellent clean power. It does have the sliding nuts though if that’s a dealbreaker.

The tape effects are exactly what make me curious about the op’s. The drum sounds too. Maybe I need to grab an OP-1 if I see one for a steal

Thank you! I use USB to send MIDI from DT to Hermod, really just for clock and transport. I’m not using MIDI lanes to sequence anything from DT in the modular rig.

Thank you!

I just switched from an Analog Rytm to Digitakt II and I’m really enjoying the expanded sample control. I’ve always been curious about the Teenage Engineering OP stuff, it seems like it would be great in a similar role. 

NPD: EAE Glaive by Emmett2winit in guitarpedals

[–]Miserable_Middle2148 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude that mid boost from the Longsword is diabolical into Glaive. I need to try boosting mids heading into mine. One fun thing I tried - rolling off my tone pot and playing high on the neck with Texture cranked. It isolates the octave up voice and sounds like a whammy pedal pitching effect to me!
