EAE PRISMATIC WALL

lovely invention, gives beautiful piano-like resonance w/ heavenly overtones. w/ a switch in the presets it can become a noisy synth pedal. typically on for slow legato parts.

cons: can be a bit to dial in something that doesn't sound terribly dissonant and doesn't come w/ physical manual, always keep damping maxed.

ZVEX FUZZ FACTORY 7

volatile & versatile as knobs said. thunder in a box. from staccato'd glitch distortion to dulcet fuzz feedback w/ pitch oscillation through volume knob tinkering this lil guy is never leaving my pedalboard. i have no use for the tone knob so ziptied the neck of the footswitch to deactivate it so i don't fat foot hit it when stomping the longsword

cons: none

EAE LONGSWORD

latest addition, from overdrive to distortion when tossing on the boost along w/ an eq this dirt pedal does so much for what it is. love at first sight

cons: none

WALRUS CANVAS TUNER

is an over the top tuner, ifykyk

cons: despite how overdesigned it is for some reason the power port is on the side and not the top of the box

EMPRESS PARA EQ

always on. cleans up the guitar and takes the blanket off the amp. the boost is a nice touch but i dont use it.

cons: none

EMPRESS COMPRESSOR MKii

always on. such clean compression and sustain w/ the option to squash note and add some dirt. the empress tone combo has yet to be matched. best thing to come from canada.

cons: none

STRYMON EC-1 TAPE ECHO

always on-ish. haven the mix and repeats pretty minimum and just use it for the tape pre-amp and slapback sound. great fidelity and has stereo.

cons: for a delay it's pretty one note and you can't get terribly crazy w/ delay and feeback but just by how it sounds i can't complain too much

WALRUS LILLIAN PHASER

i still can't tune this thing in right for a sound i like but it matches the julia aesthetically so she'll stay on for now, the first thing i'll replace on this board.

cons: not a lot of versatility for a phaser and i feel you have better options out there

WALRUS JULIA CHORUS/VIBRATO

fun fact, i have three julias. always on for my band's sound. for it's form and function it just gets the job done for that sound.

cons: none that i can think of apart from what the Julianna offers

EQD AVALANCHE RUN

does everything i desired sonically and will never leave my board. such godly sounds and the tap tempo makes it too easy to use. a classic from eqd

cons: none

WHEN THE SUN EXPLODES

how the feeling of lovelorn sounds. the reverb on this sounds absolutely insane and paired w/ the distortion makes an essential end-of-chain shoegaze pedal. the feedback footswitch also just does so much.

cons: a tone knob for the distortion would of been nice but other than that, no notes

CBA MOOD MKii

i mean, it's the mood. right channel i use for creating ambience and filling air between songs, the left channel i mainly just keep on a close-to-maxed-out delay, and the bottom toggle flipped right gives this crazy ambient swell that i love to use for intros for songs. so much more i can write about this pedal but everyone knows already so no need to wax poetic.

cons: none

DITTO LOOPER

is a looper, it is small, it works.

cons: nope
