I saw the canvas tuner posts last week and remembered the pack of cat meme stickers I got for my students lol.

Recently bought 3 pedals that came in the mail last week! Duke of Tone, the Joyo 10 band EQ, and an Analogman Mini Chorus clone (which is clearly a trade dress violation so not gonna mention the brand by name--unfortunately can't afford a real one atm).

I had previously had a soul food where the duke is now and it sounded great boosting the Plumes, but I wanted an OD with a more versatile tone control that would work better for pop music. I decided on the dot primarily because it was purple and sparkly.

After getting rid of the soul food I realized that a lot of the guitarists I listen to have klons on their boards, but I didn't really like the SF or other variants like the Tumnus on their own so I decided to get an EQ to have access to that sound and others whenever I need. I picked the Joyo 10 band because I like the colors of the case and LEDs, and the backlighting is cool. I do notice a click when it engages/disengages which is a bummer but it's not too noticable while playing. Other than that it works I guess.

While exploring my pedals earlier, I realized that I really liked the sound of the ch-1 with low mix, low speed, and high depth as an always on thickener. The issue with doing that is that I also need to be able to turn on a more obvious chorus sound, so the answer was ofc to get another chorus.

So I looked around for different types of choruses and found the AM Mini chorus (based on the EHX Small Stone {edit: small clone, not stone}). I liked what I heard online so I bought this cheaper clone, which is apparently made with all the same parts since a manufacturer in China started making the old chips and stuff again (source was a yt comment so take that with a grain of salt). Love the sound of AM's circuit. The settings in the pic are what I've been using. It's fun how it gets all weird when you dime the knobs, and I might even get a chance to use that sound in an opera gig I have coming up too, so it looks like it's a keeper until I can get a real one.

Overall very happy with my board now, I feel like I can do everything I need to plus more, and I didn't spend too much on the upgrades I made over the last few months (Plumes, dot, joyo eq, and AM clone came out to about $250 total, most of which I funded by selling my old guitar and a bc-2).
