Pete have you ever thought about dipping your toe in the soundtrack pool, video game, T.V. movies? You have obvious compositional chops, it could prove to be quite lucrative.

Pete, I tune in NOT for the product demos but to get inspired by your mad skills on the fretboard. You never cease to amaze me. Tasty licks, creative use of contrasting phrasing, and highly-imaginative tones and sounds you coax out of your pick-ups, pedal-tweaking, and choice of different guitars. You are a SUPERB musician!

I thought the crunch sound was spectacular. Sort of wish they made a version that didn't contain the DI, cab sims, etc. and a slightly lower cost. Obviously I've no idea what part of the cost that represents so perhaps a silly thought. Was really pleasantly surprised. Thinking about an Origin Effect RD Compact. Hmmm.... Thanks, Pete.

@henkehakansson20042 жыл бұрын
If it only had at least one "favorite" preset to set. I generally do not use the same EQ on clean sound as on the crunch or overdrive. I want more mids when distorted, and more scooped Twin Reverb sound whenever clean. Apart from the USB thing, I think most dual overdrive pedals out there with tubes in it has the same EQ for crunch and clean channels. But hands to your hearts not that many irl tube amps. If this pedal had at least one "favorite" setting just like you can do on Strymons, I would be all game. But nice playing as always, and the only one worth watching still when it comes to demoes.

Do you think they’re good enough as a main sound for regular work or would you recommend something else?
