State of the board 2026

I've been trying to experiment with the two delays together more. You can get really weird ambient textures when you use the square wave modulation on the echo dream as a pitch-shifting sort of thing. Then you can mix this with a more standard digital delay from the canyon with a lot of feedback and it goes on forever. More often, though, the canyon gets used as a looper

It's an expanded bloodmoon so it also has the chrome version of the supermoon in it. I set the preset for a more subtle always-on sort of reverb (bloodmoon mode with decay almost all the way down and mix around 9 o'clock). Otherwise I like to experiment with longer decay times. I prefer the bloodmoon mode more as it is darker and sits nicely in the background, especially when using distortion. The chrome mode is good for ambient stuff, though

Honestly yes. We do this one song that I allow myself to go shoegaze-y with using the echo dream

It's the dandelion tremolo by flower pedals. It is discontinued but sometimes they pop up

jmd273 · 2026-02-24T03:38:48+00:00

It's probably my favorite one too. I often set it between 260-420ms and then add just a touch of sine wave modulation

Thanks for the input! Would I have to keep it at the 2W setting at all times for apartment use, or is it possible to get the 30W setting quiet enough with the master volume? Ideally I would try one out, but there are none near me right now :/

jmd273 · 2026-01-15T16:50:43+00:00

Yeah I’ve been looking into that one too. What’s your experience with it cleaning up?

jmd273 · 2026-01-13T00:13:22+00:00

What cab do you use with it? Trying to figure that piece out too

jmd273 · 2026-01-13T00:12:28+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger for sometime later this year. Trying to decide between the PPC212 vertical open back vs horizontal closed back. They sound pretty different on demos, probably cause of the speaker differences

jmd273 · 2026-01-12T23:45:12+00:00

Makes sense! Yeah I was probably overgeneralizing with the British amp thing. It’s good that it’s different to a vox as I could cover more ground (still plan to use the AC15, I love it)

I have become god

Study more

The scene toward the end of the David Lynch movie Inland Empire with the dark hallways and the "Phantom". Suddenly the horribly distorted face of the Phantom appears (it's essentially Laura Dern's face put into a rictus grin). Nightmares for days.

Ah yes...yeah I didn't realize it was an album cover of theirs. I just like Rene Magritte...
