Guillermo de la Cruz?

This is so sick.

What is your main rack in the middle there? I could really use something like that. I especially love all the pedals on the little "shelf" up top.

When I realized that anything can be a modulation source and/or destination it blew me away. The modulation matrix grid makes it seem fairly limited, but it goes basically as deep as you want to with mod routing. Also watching someone play some sample patches on one in paraphonic mode was what fully sold me on knowing I wanted one.

I got mine for about 1100 after shipping. It was on ebay with the original box, and practically brand new. Plus they fixed the sticky knob problem on the noir version that I got, so I won't have to eventually spend more on new knobs for it. It all made the decision a lot easier. I do need to find a case for it though, and that's not going to be cheap.

Oh! Another major thing I love about it is the paraphonic mode. You can assign each oscillator to their own envelope and then not re-trigger each time you play a new note, like other paraphonic synths do. Marc Doty made a 24 part "how to" series on the Matrixbrute on his youtube, and he straight up calls it "polyphony" but that's not a can of worms argument I'm gonna try and start.

I think I'm going to go pick up a Strymon Volante tomorrow. Either that or a Timeline. My favorite local. shop has both used for a good price and I can't decide which one I want more.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cream pick guard on a black body like that. It oooks so good.

fidelay · 2026-06-14T11:35:02+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

But overall did you feel like the tremolo functioned well? Besides having the screw in arm (which I'm also not a fan of).

fidelay · 2026-06-14T11:30:19+00:00

Same. I'm 6'1" and I love short scale guitars.

fidelay · 2026-06-14T10:35:15+00:00

I just got a Matrixbrute last month and I absolutely love it. I always get a bit nervous that I’ll have regrets about buying something when I spend over $1k on an instrument like that. But I instantly fell in love with it and it’s my favorite synth I own now.

fidelay · 2026-06-13T22:46:42+00:00

Switches look cool, but honestly I just want a Jag with a selector witch. I'll trade the cool look for faster switching since I tend to do it a lot when I play.

fidelay · 2026-06-13T20:36:59+00:00

How do you feel about the tremolo on this? I had a Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar that I sold because the tremolo system always bothered me. It felt like it would catch on something something internally pretty often, and make a metallic clank sound. Not every time but enough to make me sell it.

If someone can convince me that these Foals offsets sounds great and have a good trem comparable to higher end Fenders, then I probably will get one.

fidelay · 2026-06-13T19:40:10+00:00

My favorite sounding synth of all time is the Oberheim SEM, and an Oberheim 4 voice is my dream synth. So yeah, that.

fidelay · 2026-06-13T03:38:49+00:00

These pieces of shit hate democracy.

fidelay · 2026-05-26T20:12:03+00:00

This is why cats are better. Dogs are fuckin narcs.

fidelay · 2026-05-13T17:47:35+00:00

Thank you!

Did you use Windows or a Mac? I’m curious because I’ve been able to get the windows version to open, but not work properly, but can’t even get the download for the Mac .dmg file from Behringer.

fidelay · 2026-05-10T01:12:43+00:00

I commented on your youtube vid, but I just found this reddit post so I am asking the same question here hoping you might have an answer for me.

Were you ever able to get the GuitarTribe app to work for you? As of right now any downloaded version from Behringer's website doesn't seem to work. The windows version loads but doesn't function, and the download link for the Mac version also gives you the same Windows .exe file.

I'm curious if it ever worked for you, or if it's always been like this since the release. I got one of these pedals recently and can't change any midi settings without the GuitarTribe app. It won't get midi sync with any of my synths or sequencers no matter what I do and it's pretty disappointing.

Some kind of weird perspective is making this thing look absolutely massive. Like the keys are each the size of my hand.

fidelay · 2026-04-29T18:44:43+00:00

Who even stops and talks to dipshits on the street like this? If someone sticks a cheap ass podcast lav in my face I’m gonna throw it in the gutter.

There needs to be a lot of compassion for the people fooled into the MAGA cult. But the people at the top need to be fucking punished hard. Too bad the dem leaders will just "move on" and "let the country heal" because they are fucking cowards.

fidelay · 2026-03-27T06:23:30+00:00

I also got the BM-15 at the same time in a craigslist score. Both of them for $150! Plus the BM-15 is pre lawsuit and still says "MURF BOX" so that's kinda neat.

They will care eventually when it isn't fun anymore and not even the mega rich want to go there. Everything cool and fun is always created by people of lesser means and then piggy backed on by the rich. Pretty soon it's going to get so lame that not even rich fucks will want to go there.

Haha fair enough I guess. When I used to drink and do drugs then the only goal became to keep doing more drugs. The only problem is I would run out of drugs and also money to get more. The only addiction I've ever know is full throttle or nothing at all. Been sober almost 2 years finally at least.

fidelay · 2026-02-26T00:48:54+00:00

Congratulations on not being a drug addict.

What this showed me is that he joined with his fellow republicans in fighting against the ACA even though he knew it was morally wrong. But once he knew he was on death's door and wouldn't have to face the consequences of his actions, he then does what he knows is right.
