The Traveling Pedalpalooza 2011

[Bellyheart]

Got the trem and its great. Exceeded expectations. I love the hold function! The treble knob is insanely awesome since it actually adds content or reduces. The shaping of the tremolo allows for just about every practical sound out there. The square wave is probably my favorite just because of the harsh choppy waves you get. If you turn the Shape knob fully ccw you get a short stab of sound that really sounds fun with some fuzz on it.


I can't wait to try the RRR next!

Rybud, I love that MFC logo, it's awesome!

Jon, thanks for the review and I'm happy you're liking it!

Okay, Its time to say goodbye to these house guests . please PM if you're next, if I don't PM you first. I don't know if the list orders are still correct. I made a little video, it's pretty bad, but ehhhh whatever . What can I say about these guys? The reverberator is a nice reverb. I was fond of the Hall (h1) with the mix at 3 or 2 o'clock. nice long decaying trails, soothing. I liked the rotary mode as well. Ryan, I wish you would make a nice rotary pedal with a million switches and knobs like the elements . Really, that function of the reverb just was a tease, with nothing to tweak, but it sounded really nice!! Anyway, back to the Elements. I liked the elements. I have a love hate with OD & Distortion pedals. I liked this guy though. I had a feeling. Sometimes I just want a really faint clipping. The elements didn't have a problem shaping the sounds I was looking for. I like the EQ options. I didn't use the mix knob as much as I thought I would, but it's a neat feature. I don't use high gain that much, and the elements is like high gain city. Still it was fun to pretend I can solo

Thanks for letting me try these.

nice to know the rrr made it across the sea

[Ryan]

Thanks Charlie! I'm picking up what you're putting down, a decked out rotary pedal would be awesome, but that's the problem with the reverb engine in the RRR.. it doesn't really allow much tweaking.

I could make the rotary sim rate be controlled by a knob but only within the exact same min and max range as it already is with the toggle. I could add EQ controls to the wet signal to have some control over how the rotary sim sounds, but that would be it. I wouldn't even be able to remove the room reverb from the patch or have any control over the ramping or rotating of the speaker, it would be really limited.

It's a sweet idea though and I love the sound of rotating speaker.. I wonder if anybody does an analog one, just using filtering/phasing and some time delay.. could be a fun project.

So, uh, that stuff we've been talking about...maybe it should go that route?

[Ryan]

Absolutely, there's a great pedal in the making there! I was thinking more about it.. the tough part, well it's all tough, but really tough would be reproducing the ticking/whirring of the rotor/rotating baffle section. Notice how they got that in the mini-R rotary patch? I've had lots of people email and ask why that patch made that sound as if there was a problem with their pedal but it's actually really accurate, those big rotating contraptions make noise.

Thanks a lot sir hasthesamenameasme.

Err...good doctor.

Also, the trem kicks ass, for those who haven't tried it yet.
Wish I had the resources available to me at the time to demo it.

I bought an elements too! (I pm'd 952...)

Soo it's fuzzy picklez instead?

[pewtershmit]

frazz arrived today. A big fuck you can go out to Canadian Customs too!

[t-rey]

Indeed - I have only had like one package ever make it through Canadian customs without being held for about a week.

[Ryan]

Thanks Ryan! And Blake!

Danny, shoot me an email and I'll cover what you got dinged for customs, did you have to pay to receive the pedal?

[pewtershmit]

hell naw Ryan don't worry about it. I was just a bit bitchy about it. no big deal at all.

had a go at the frazz at home volume, pretty impressive so far. both sides of the switch sound awesome, but different enough to make it a really versatile fuzz. Can't wait to try it loud.
