How's it stack with the Supercollider? I really... damnit... I want one. Dontneeddontneeddontneed
I like it, but again with the caveats about lack of experience. I'm at home today and planning to get in some playing time, so I'll mess around with the combo and see if I can give you a better report later.
Thanks for all the kind words, guys!

Meh. I wanted a cheaper vol pedal (and I only use it for volume) that didn't rely on the string-pull system that Ernie Ball uses, which seems prone to breakdown, and the Morley was a reasonable deal when I got it a couple years back. It works, but it has to be powered, and there's no tuner out, and I'm not really liking the sweep of the pedal. I expect I'll probably replace it with an EB in the near future; I haven't yet just because I haven't played my rig much in the last couple of years (mostly unplugged practicing in the morning and late at night).

If their other 'amp-in-a-box' pedals are anything to go by then it should sound excellent with the Supercollider. A few of those Cattybread pedals are built to be stacked.

Pelican tones are my jam, man! I used to run my AOR full bore all the time, which was great, but the rolled off cleans suffered and the amp hissed like hell. Now I've got this midrangey burly clean/crunch sound, and stomp on my booster to really bring out chugs. I've recall seeing all sorts of rants about how these amps don't need pedals, but those same people certainly discounted how great they sounded together. Holy shit, these rigs have so much MIDS.

Oh for sure. I have a DLS Mk II, I was more wondering about the Supercollider boosting/stacking, cuz I sorta think of it as more of a standalone fuzzstortion, but I'm still extremely curious about it overall since I want one and all.

So this is my rig as of now
Just sold my trace elliot speed twin 50watt and ordered a Laney AOR from the states that will be here in a few days.
Really excited to finally own one!
Next thing I want is a bass cab with ported speakers etc

It's getting harder and harder to resist the urge to pick up a Hovercraft. I love that bottom cab

Those two cabs are straight outta my business. I build amps, pedals and cabs but I also refurbish cabs too.
The bottom one is an old vox cab that I stripped the tolex and stained with walnut ink and sealed in australian beeswax.
The top cab is a line 6 that actually was ply and had vintage 30s. sounds excellent with no tolex to seal it up - stained ebony and poly clear coated.
