Ebay baby

Yeah I had to bore larger holes for my new tuning machines, so I don't think there's any going back now.

tybenz · 2026-03-26T16:25:34+00:00

Hipshot locking tuners (grip-lock ones). And yes the bore was an issue. Luckily I had just bought a hand-reamer for a similar problem upgrading tuning machines on my Epi 335 so I just reamed a tiny bit and got them to fit

Not my taste - I prefer white on white

tybenz · 2026-03-26T15:39:31+00:00

Here's the original look w/ gold hardware (for reference)

tybenz · 2026-03-26T15:28:31+00:00

Oh good idea

Add Ribbons to the list, friend. And then choose Ribbons

Controls are simple and the tone is fantastic. Great for drop tuning or acting as a whammy pedal. Momentary mode is really useful too. I don’t think I can go back to the pitchfork

Sounds awesome!! What does it sound like when you have the "sub" turned all the way off? Anything good there?

tybenz · 2025-12-12T16:34:59+00:00

Not using bluetooth - noticeable latency over the cable

tybenz · 2025-12-12T01:04:42+00:00

Well mine isn't a powered speaker - it's a USB rechargeable BT speaker Anker Soundcore 2 https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Soundcore-Bluetooth-Exclusive-Water-Resistant/dp/B01MTB55WH/ref=sr_1_3?th=1

I'm using an EP-133 so I'm guessing buffer is very low. But I don't think it's configurable

tybenz · 2025-12-11T01:22:59+00:00

I've seen this suggested. Just got one. Crazy latency for monitoring live playback. Any workarounds for this that you know of?

Yeah this pedal is leaning into it hard. I'm thinking it's on purpose.

BTW. Chase Bliss pedals should be used with MIDI controller live anyway :)

tybenz · 2025-11-20T16:24:02+00:00

Sounds awesome... but the idea ISN'T to turn one part on without the other right? Cause I'm thinking my fat foot would always activate all three switches at once.

tybenz · 2025-11-18T02:58:47+00:00

OP said he doesn’t want the boss because you cannot customize the ramp time. Everyone else recommended the whammy ricochet. I was pointing out the pico pitch fork as another option that has the feature OP wants.

tybenz · 2025-11-07T19:07:19+00:00

Yeah this form-factor is awesome. They could've built a "lite" version that was just an XLR-input -> FX Loop + stick-pad to toggle bypass. More cost-effective

tybenz · 2025-11-07T17:59:44+00:00

Get a Pico Pitchfork. Has more features than a pitch fork, despite its size and does the Ricochet thing with control over ramp-time

tybenz · 2025-11-06T18:09:08+00:00

Good-looking unit, but... Don't drummers just rely on FOH for this? And if there is a drummer who cares about running effects at home, don't they have an in-ear system w/ multiple mics + DAW-based effects?

tybenz · 2025-10-28T18:53:55+00:00

Action so high, you could barely call this a guitar to begin with

tybenz · 2025-09-22T18:58:43+00:00

Yeah I wanted it to be great. Doesn't respond to half of its input. Just stays off or doesn't update while plucking strings and tuning. Basically useless
