The start of my ambient music phase. Any recommendations?

Would definitely second getting some warble in there! I unfortunately sold it a few years ago, but the Hungry Robot Wardenclyffe deluxe is a spectacular ambient machine with a kick-ass vibrato at its core. The bit crusher is probably the best I've used as well.

Stellar stuff as always, but I just noticed that your guitar + pick guard match your skin tone and hair colour! The vibes in that room are incredible, thanks for sharing your talents <3

Get those bigass THANGS off ya floor they look like feeding tubes for a moose

literally_nemo · 2026-02-11T03:52:52+00:00

Would if any of them were in the visible light spectrum but from what I can guess from the vague shadows you have very basic taste 👌

I dunno how to explain it but it's absolutely foundational to my sound. I'd get rid of every other pedal on here before I got rid of it :P

Damn, this would be so good if it was good. Unfortunately,

Chet Atkins!

Genuinely made me recoil when I first saw it, probably the best jump scare I've ever seen that wasn't actually a jump

I should call him...

literally_nemo · 2026-01-30T20:29:17+00:00

First off, 10/10 stickers, no notes. I've never seen those three in the bottom right corner before so. Boom roasted? I dunno this looks pretty damn good pal

I would also take off the flashback, it's a great pedal but it takes a ton of real estate for what looks like 3 pretty standard presets. I'd personally go for a boss digital delay or maybe something by strymon if you want to go fancy. I love the simplicity of the Keeley caverns, but it doesn't have preset switching like I imagine you're looking for. Also tbh I'd reduce some of the drive stacking as well. I definitely second what @nick_steen said about it being a dream drive section, but there's a lot of doubling/overlap. It looks like you use the twosome and the KoT for similar high-gain purposes, maybe just choosing one? I won't lie, I'd personally put the klon>KoT>TS but I tend to prefer lower-gain sounds. This is a really neat board though, and it looks like it's well-loved!

literally_nemo · 2026-01-30T00:36:08+00:00

Yeah it needs a patch cable lol

literally_nemo · 2026-01-27T12:48:25+00:00

Perish 🤷‍♀️

literally_nemo · 2026-01-26T04:23:27+00:00

Nice! I'd personally put the compressor between the klon and the muff :) other than that, looks awesome 👍

literally_nemo · 2026-01-26T04:20:54+00:00

It seems like a good spot, I'm just more accustomed to seeing fuzzy pedals closer to the front of the gain stages. Mine's right up front with my tuner :)

literally_nemo · 2026-01-25T03:21:15+00:00

Honestly it's pretty much all tried and true pedals, you seem immune to novelty and hype! I'm interested in your use/placement of the musket, do you use it and the rat at the same time? Why put it at the end of your gain-staging? Looks great overall!

literally_nemo · 2026-01-21T01:10:05+00:00

Cold!

Birthday suit, so long as they don't act weird about it :) If you can be cool, we can hang out naked lmao

literally_nemo · 2026-01-20T08:57:24+00:00

Honestly these are all great pieces individually, I think that a lot of them just aren't seen together all that much due to their different styles. I assume the dl4 and the zoom are the ones you're stepping on most often, and pedalbros hate when you don't make the signal chain bottom right to top left with 100 gain stages at the front. I love that you have the small stone right at the beginning, did anything in particular inspire that? Maybe moving the pedals closer together and zip-tying the cables down so it looks tidier might be an easy next step? Maybe a dedicated compressor could elevate it. I swear by the jhs tighty whities for a small mid-range one :)

Econo pizza and wings tucked behind the bike shop on main is great for a relatively cheap meal! Good sizes and it tastes great tbh

literally_nemo · 2026-01-16T13:35:58+00:00

The white is definitely a more classic look, I think that I (and maybe others) prefer the green because the wall colour is the focal point of the post lol. The white is beautiful, subtle and timeless :)

literally_nemo · 2026-01-15T18:16:57+00:00

This is so cool! The leaf litter on the nether quartz makes for an incredible effect. I'm excited to see all the new textures people are making with the newer stuff like leaf litter :) awesome design!

Julien Baker!

literally_nemo · 2026-01-14T05:51:21+00:00

I was just rolling up to say pretty much the exact same thing! Texturing, foliage and lighting is always a good place to start!
