What did you think of the Kollaps?
Yeah my iPad ran out of memory and cut off and wouldn't record any more :lol: so I didnt get the chance to give a real impression of what the kollaps sounds like or how it functions. I was having too much fun with that set up to bother grabbing my iPhone to make a longer demo, running the Mantis delay into the fuzz sounded so fuckin brokenly awesome. But yeh, I REALLY like the Kollaps. It's like random textures and how are you goin to deal with them :!!!: really fun pedal for sure and it sounds really great stacked with fuzz. I plan on making a longer demo of it.

I think that was my impression of the Kollaps too. It's more of a texture on top of something rather than a traditional rhythmic effect like a tremolo. I felt like it also lets a fuzz come through while giving it a little something extra. Might give it another go down the road. I am glad you are happy with it though.

Yeah i found that when running it with fuzz it's rather subtle for a tremolo and just adds the right amount of texture to make a chord or line more interesting. It sounds more full on its own but still doesn't get into major volume drops/chops except when its going sloooooow and literally cutting off the signal....which can be interesting when you're not expecting it :lol:

I don't even know how to begin to describe this but here goes:

This was originally the "Chord Roy" patch on my Supernova. Think of a dream-pop synthy chord that rolls in. Real nice sound I love the patch. I ended up using the Warp function on the DD-6 while going back and forth with the time knob to make that weird ticking noise at the beginning. I was running the Ct5 as well but it wasn't making any noise until I engaged the PS-2 pedal (I don't know). Apparently the Echo Modulator can just do loops without going into insane oscillation, so I ended up tweaking the sound a ton between the knobs on that and the Kompakt Kassette. So much cool shit. So happy.

Instant, trashy fun... With the delay controls maxxxed, you get a "sort of slapback echo plus a bad approximation of a spring reverb" sound that is surf-y and garage-y and awful... Crank the input and you can get a decent overdrive-y boost, too...

I wanna see if there are any mods to increase the delay time or the repeats... I also feel like this guy would crush in a feedback looper...

That is the weirdest looking Pigdog enclosure ever! Makes it look like some sort of shitty mass produced pedal from China. Which is in a way awesome given the quality of the Pigdog stuff.

Totally agree! It is made out of steel and is so very heavy. Feels solid as hell. But not exactly a looker.

Sweet blocky Jazzy there, finboy.

That looks (and probably sounds) to be a killer combination there, Syl, I'll have to try that.

Whoops, missed that Pigdog/Warped Vinyl combo. That looks sweet too.

My setup last night. Don't have pics, but I also only used my sonic titan clone & el capistan. It was great. Nice, simple, and heavy :rock:. I'm trying to learn how to minimize the pedals and focus more on playing.
