idk, i bought into the first bakvendt run bc ILF & @Ugly Casanova finish
and it seemed like a cheap way to get a taste for fabrikat (it was!), but i really wanted Fabrikat, and it didn't disappoint when i eventually went for that.
i'll never get rid of bakvendt bc ILF & @Ugly Casanova finish
but i definitely reach for fabrikat more when i want that vibe/functionality.
i mean, i understand there are differences in functionality and tone, but once i got a little bit of distance from the granular/glitch phenomenon, i realized that, for me, many of these pedals are relatively slight variations on a theme in terms of musical utility, even if my tweaker mind could get lost at any time @ play in the fields of wondrous distinction that is absolutely there if you want to tap down down into the warren....
bakfram i also hit on, but i have a harder time justifying why - at the time i think i had convinced myself that feedback was a factor i needed to camp out with and have starry nights with, and that, combined with the changes/improvements to bakvendt, just pushed me over the edge into yes - but if i'm honest, it didn't really change my granular/glitch world or outlook, and it would be the first to go if i had to pare the pladask section of the smaugcave, because it's neither the artifact of that first ILF & finish by @Ugly Casanova
nor fabrikat. i get why people dig it tho for sure. i also get why people like both it and baklengs too, but for me that was just a bridge too far....
so to sum up - bakvendt 4ever! fabrikat, probs also 4ever until Knut or someone else outdoes it. bakfram - 4ever, if smaug wins out, but also probs will have to go at some point....
