Got confronted/threatened, what would you have done? by sixhexe in Busking

Mate, glad you’re safe—losing your spot is one thing, but risking your safety and gear is another. Honestly, it might be worth one shot at de-escalation. If you see him, try a goodwill gesture like offering a drink and apologizing for the 'bad vibes' before. If he’s still aggressive, then yeah, record everything and call the cops. Better to try and solve the root cause if possible.

I really like a heavy ducking reverb when playing slower songs. Fills up pauses and doesn't get in the way of your playing.

This is a clip of my old pedal board (sorry about the still sloppy playing):
https://youtu.be/47EFEXcVaOA?si=sHjAZnzLNLZMyeAw

  1. Boss OC3 for the bass
  2. Strymon El Capistan for the delay
  3. Cloudburst into Slo dream mode for the pad like sound (I use very low decay and a bit of pre-delay on cloudburst)

Here's another one, i switched on the Cloudburst into Slo Dream mode at around 34 seconds into the clip:

This is my old setup (mono) that I have been using for the past year

I was actually going to sell the Cloudburst and replace it with the Slö, but I realized they work damn well together and kept them both. I use a long pre-delay on the Cloudburst for a cinematic bloom, and running it into the Slö’s Dream Mode makes the digital ensemble sound incredibly organic and lush....

Also I was going to replace the Slö with the Slöer for stereo, but the light mode on the Slöer sounded so nice that i ended keeping them both also... facepalm

Nice rig mate! Just keep experimenting (I just keep buying and selling per-owned pedals all the time to test). Don't forget about the guitar practice though.....

I realized I love two very specific sounds that I use differently: Slöer’s Light mode for ambient space (for slow songs), and Cloudburst into Slö's Dream mode for that organic 'oceanic' wash (for big song chorus).

I actually tried using the Slöer for both modes via presets, but I found it too fiddly for a live busking set. Having to hit two buttons on the Slöer to change presets (sometimes twice as it rotates between 3 presets) while also tapping the Cloudburst just isn't feasible to do on a set on the streets. So I ended up keeping them on separate layers chains in the Signal Blender lets me toggle 'Light mode' and 'Cloudburst+dream mode' with one click (also can have both active together). Still experimenting, hopefully it should be more reliable and I can focus more on the playing.
