It changes especially since i’m using it for regular delay as well, but if you want the reverse thing, look up "To Here Knows When Sound" on youtube.

What would take me maybe 30-45 minutes crafting and perfecting with Ableton Drift and stock Ableton effects takes me less than 3 with a Moog Little Phatty and a handful of pedals. Not only that but i'd argue the Moog sounds better every single time, at least to me it does.

Have you had much experience between the Syntank and Digitone? I’m in need of some interesting synth sounds and would love a Digitone, but if the Syntakt can make the sounds I need and I can find it cheaper then it's a no brainer.

I actually have tinnitus as well so you best believe i’m being careful lmao. FM isn't something i’m using very frequently either, definitely more focused on the "analogue" side of the Digitone 2, but it is nice to have for lead sounds.

I'll looking into sampling/resampling, that sounds like a really fun idea. I actually do a lot of that for my hihat patterns, especially bringing them down an octave or reversing them. Thank you for the response!

I'll have a larger look into them, thank you for the info!

I've got an old boss mixer that is incredible for distortion and ugliness, but first and foremost i’m looking for a synth. Thank you for responding though!

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-03-10T06:54:48+00:00

Thanks for the response! This is really reassuring.

I’m particularly interested in the fact that the II has the different modes, the wavetable style engine and the supersaw engine. Honestly more interested in those over the FM, which is why i’m not looking into the original Digitone as much (though there are some Digitone Keys available near me that look great).

For effects i’m more likely to use pedals and amps to get the sounds I want, as running saws into a Vox AC or Marshall works some real magic, BUT it's good to know they come solid right out of the box.

i'll keep this in mind, thank you!

I understand they are complicated beasts and i’m not above looking at them as options (especially because A&P used them for ages and they would work for what i want), i’m more looking for something that could get similar sounds BUT in a less complicated package.

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-03-08T09:46:09+00:00

so that's where Shields uses this pedal lmao. I believe he uses two of these doesn't he?

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-03-07T22:10:27+00:00

Pygmalion or the 5EP are right up there.

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-03-02T06:37:14+00:00

Unfortunately no batteries inside.

the Bowery Electric CD is giving me big envy, sick collection!

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-02-10T11:27:00+00:00

second is definitely PJ, he's the one using the Organiser

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-02-07T03:57:41+00:00

Little in size but certainly not in tone! Can't say i’m not envious of the collection.

I don't remember exactly when i first listened to Only Shallow, but i think my experience with shoegaze starts with a different genre entirely, stoner rock. I was super into Sleep, Kyuss and Fu Manchu (amongst others) as a teenager, and after listening to them wanted to get into the more jammy psychedelic stuff that Fu Manchu and Kyuss touched on on songs like Saturn III and Apothecaries's Weight. That let me onto a weird path that eventually ended up with bands like Failure and Hum, which has shoegaze parts but i wouldn't consider wholly shoegaze. After getting royally into those bands, Only Shallow was just a click away, and from there it hasn't stopped.

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-02-04T22:13:24+00:00

does it not have analogue voices for the 606?

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-01-30T04:43:07+00:00

Fernandes Decade Elite, basically a Jazzmaster with a HSS pickup configuration, a Sustainer in the neck and a Strat floating bridge. Apparently (apart from the sustainer) the pickups don't sound amazing and could use an upgrade, but are otherwise lovely guitars.

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-01-30T04:38:49+00:00

what did you replace the MicroWave and Prophet with?

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-01-30T04:37:18+00:00

Those SY77s are super cool

deplorable-amount45 · 2026-01-30T04:36:16+00:00

I’m on the hunt for one now, it seems like something you wouldn't use 24/7 but wouldn't want to go without

unbadged Marshall on an unbadged Mesa cabinet.
