This thing is incredible!
I have goosebumps…
And sleepy feet…
The Warped Vinyl does the faux out of tune second oscillator sound better than I ever heard before and it works with all my fuzz pedals, I've also put it before my drive and fuzz pedals but I think it sounds better after.
It sounds luscious and transparent, I don't know how Joel did this but I think people who love a thick chorus are going to love this one and people who hate chorus and / or usually go for the very subtle ones are going to love this one as well.
The only thing I haven't quite worked out to my liking yet is how it works with the LFO out of the Goatkeeper 3, so far it seems to sound too subtle for my tastes with almost every knob setting I tried.
Lofi mode has quite an impact on the sound, overall it seems to make the chorus sound deeper (especially on slower settings) and the vibrato more shallow.
The vibrato is amazing, it can go very deep but in my opinion it never feels unnatural and the square wave mode is fantastic, better than I heard on any other unit before.
I really had to pinky away a few tears of joy there…
I also have to say the whole package, from the pedal itself to the box and little bag it came in really feels like lots of love and attention for detail went in (also look at the chase bliss decal on the front of the pedal for instance).
YAY!! this post makes me very happy
I worked very hard to make this pedal play very nice with dirt and other stuff... so I'm glad you are exploiting that.
Now, let's figure out how to interface with the goat keeper LFO
First things first, the goat-keeper LED outputs a CV so I'd recommend using a stereo cable between the expression input and the goatkeeper LFO out (explanation is too boring and not necessary, I think Glen explained it in a previous post though). It will work with an instrument cable, but it causes the Warped Vinyl to draw a bunch more current than is necessary.
Second thing, and my guess is that this is the issue. Let's say you want to control volume with the goatkeeper LFO (boring I know but works good for an example). So, you've got your volume dip switch up. Remember that the position of the volume knob also matters. If you have the volume knob straight up and down, the maximum sweep (if you have the "sweep" dip in the bottom position) is between the maximum counterclockwise position and the knob position. If you want the goatkeeper to be able to do a maximum sweep of the entire volume range you would have to crank the volume knob all the way to the right... let me know if this makes sense. So glad you like it Tristan!!
