Rewired my board with EBS flat cables, and now I have room for 2 more pedals! Thinking about adding a Hall of Fame 2 , but I'm not really sure what to put in the last empty spot. Maybe a bigger delay? Maybe a better phaser with an expression pedal? Some kind of octave? More distortion?

I wasn’t a fan of the hall of fame at all. It sounded so lifeless to me. The RV-6 is amazing in the same price range. People rave about EHX’s Oceans 11 and Digitech’s Polera too.

Wanted to step up my ambient synth game by adding a Strymon Big Sky to my analog setup, though I just came across an offer to buy a TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 for a small discount instead. What do you think, is there a lot of daylight between these two models? Any alternate ideas? I'm just tired of having a ton of mediocre effects laying around and wanted to invest in one really good reverb and one really good analog delay.

If you want a Big Sky you won’t be happy with a HoF. Also check out the Meris Mercury 7

Oh, thanks for the tip on the Mercury. Hadn't heard of that. Suddenly that's the main contender vs. the Strymon.

Most videos I've seen are of people running them ahead of their amp, not looped.

the mercury 7 is probably the closest stompbox to a full on lexicon rack reverb and can do the vangelis thing really well

If I want a wah with adjustable parameters whats out there? I wanna play it with synths (polys/modulars) and set and forget is not a selling point for me. I can deal with level matching etc. Ideal would be a box with knobs I could stick on a table and run an expression pedal to - do those exist? Would love to cheap out if possible too - I'm pretty sure I could be happy w/ a used 50 dollar cry baby, just wondering if I could spend a little more and be happier.

I'm looking for a primary analog delay for my analog synths that can achieve some vintage, maybe a little dirty warped character and do long delay times and/or self-oscillation. I've been comparing the AD9 w/Keeley, AD900/999, Minifooger, Echoshifter, and Carbon Copy. Any thoughts there? I was leaning toward the Echoshifter based on some demos and word of mouth, but I've also read some complaints about the longevity of the device and quirks about it not picking up the signal of certain waveforms. Minifooger seems to be pretty solid too, though I'm not sure if it's worth the extra $ to me yet. Drink-Mix Man fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Mar 10, 2019 |

The Solid Gold FX Electroman might fit the bill. It's a lo-fi delay with an oscillation foot switch.

i found my johnny marr jangle, but now i'm getting a darkish white noisey sssssss sound that no amount of knob tweaking will fix (unless i lower my treble, which ruins the tone i'm trying to achieve). should i get a boost pedal to improve signal-to-noise?

Echoshifter is a real pain in the rear end to get it to go weird. The slider is fun (and I love the LFO option) but it doesn't freak out like you want it to. The Behringer VD400 is the same basic circuit (maybe shorter times? but same chips) but its like 25 dollars and I would absolutely make sure that doesn't do it for you before you spend more. Consider PT delays as well unless the analog is a must, they're gonna get you where you're looking to go pretty straightforwardly and the self oscillation is real fun for synths. Not the most classic sound though.

Depends on what it’s coming from. Try to isolate each part of your signal path and identify the source of the hiss.

I’m gonna say none of these, get a boss RE20 cause it’s one of the best delays ever even though it’s a tape sim not true analog. You can use the input gain to dirty up your whole signal and the oscillation is amazing. If you really want analog I’d go with the minifooger though.

Any recommendations on a good bass synth pedal? I tried the BOSS SYB-5 and the tracking left a lot to be desired even when I slowed down and played as clean as possible. I was eyeballing Electro-Harmonix's new Bass Mono Synth but it isn't available in retail in Canada yet (I could order online and wait for it to clear customs, I just wish I could try it myself first).

The boys in the video agree, they spend most of it demonstrating how to diagnose and fix noise issues without having to buy a gate.

Me and Leck have one, and I really wouldn't recommend it as a general-purpose delay, but the DOD Rubberneck sounds almost perfect for what you want. It's got very long BBD delay times (with the lo-fi sound that implies, especially for really long times), with footswitchable and easy-to-dial-in self-oscillation. It also has modulation to get you that warped character, as well as gain so you can add a bit of grit, and a tone control. It also has the unique rubberneck feature, which shifts the delay clock speed by 2x/0.5x (depending on knob position), which has the effect of pitching your repeats up or down an octave, with a controllable tamp rate. It also, also has an effects loop so you can apply effects only to the wet repeats. It's a really interesting pedal, and the last labor of love from Tom Kramm at DOD/DigiTech before Harman/Samsung decided to fire the entire team.

Throwing my vote in for the Carbon Copy. It’s the best sounding delay I’ve ever had and you can get them pretty cheap. I even sold a $400 moog delay because I thought the CC sounded better.

I guess this is the best place to post this question. Has anyone used Waves Tune Real-Time? Its on sale and I have found a need for real-time pitch correction when recording vocals but wanted to see if it was a solid option. Would be great to only spend ~$70 instead of a couple hundred on Antares Autotune.

Third-ing the rubberneck, if you can get one for the rate they were going for a few months ago (got mine for £115, heard they were even cheaper in the states) there’s no question about it.

I wish I had been able to snag one of the Rubbernecks I saw for really cheap over the last few months. Still very happy with the El Capistan, but I really like the features of the DOD. I finally got a Strymon voltage doubler, so I can run 3 pedals at 18v out of my Zuma without having to daisy-chain. This new adapter also let me try 24v with the pedals I have that can take it, but I found I actually preferred 18v in both cases. Now it's time to rewire the whole board with the 3x18v configuration! I got a bunch of the EBS flat cables too, which I'm really liking. They're going to make future reconfigurations much easier.
