Wait, so you can turn your playing into an envelope CV out? If so you just sold me 100% ok a dang Protostar.

With all apologies to your wallet, yes that is what I'm saying.

baremountain wrote: I mean, firstly they blatantly steal other people's circuits and sell them as their own - they've got maybe a couple original pedals out of the several dozen they've produced. I think we can all agree that's pretty lame?
Secondly they've got serious ties to religious orgs that actively donate to anti-LGBTQ orgs, and that's an inexcusable cause to rally behind IMO. If there's one thing I've come to realize it's that your dollar goes a lot further than your vote when politics get involved. I don't want a dime of my money going towards those causes when I can buy pedals from someone like Brian who donates to the ACLU or Ben & Louise who, last I checked, were trying to get a new workshop where they could partner with a soup kitchen & feed the local homeless. I guess that boils down to personal politics, but regardless of that, I think actively helping a community of people is always better than funneling money to oppress people.
EDIT: Yeah PV gave the abbrev. version pretty well.

Alright, thanks. Sounds fairly shitty, I agree.

I Devin.

Same here! I'm surprised the Ocean Machine pedal isn't getting any attention here. Seems really cool!

It's always cracked me up how Andy has fun with Earthquaker's "made in (insert adjective here) Akron, Ohio" line. This time it's "The cold dark recesses of Akron, Ohio, where no one can hear you scream."

Followed by a Wilhelm Scream.

Always thought it looked badass, and the 125B enclosure is definitely a big plus.

Every day I kick myself for not jumping on a used v1 gen loss that was in BST.

That small v1 Gen Loss didn't have a mix knob. It was too squishy, imo. V2 is a better pick. I had to split the signal in two with my v1 so that I could blend the unaffected signal with the squishy soup of the GL.

An analog hybrid synthesizer that's fully programmeable, polyphonic, and has 5 oscillators per voice???? They claim you can actually program the circuits in it? I'm not sure what that means functionally, though?

I keep mine full wet 99% of the time (at least, with my synths), anyway.

In other news, I finally saw that new Red Panda.
