Your best and worst pedal hot takes? 🔥

I'd think you'd want tap tempo before you'd want clean blend.

This makes me think about a tap tempo on a compressor to control the AD envelope.

But then I realized it would actually be simpler to just have a sidechain. That would be a cool feature on a guitar pedal.
 
The abundance of worship guitar fueling the gear industry has led to some cool tech, but also creeps me the fuck out.

Awkward font choice on a pedal is way more of an aesthetic buzzkill than whatever the graphic is.

There can never be enough expression control.

Finally, only distantly related, but: NORMALIZE RIGHT ANGLE SPEAKER CABLE PLUGS. Why do they not exist? I rolled my own recently.

I have to disagree. I did a fair bit of research on this topic, in the same circuit with just the clipping method being different. One aspect (and probably the most relevant IMO) is that soft clipping cleans up a lot nicer (more seamlessly) when lowering the guitar volume. Hard clipping is more suitable for really heavily distortion though, when you don't care much about how it cleans up. It is, however, possible to get heavy distortion from soft clipping too.

It's not how it clips, it's how it transitions to clipping that defines the sound. The diode equation has a coefficient dedicated to the sharpness of a curve. Once volume is matched the difference between sounds shrinks and most diodes in use aren't different enough to justify it.
 
ICTRock invents tap tempo compressor, gives away the greatest P&W cash grab in history to forum nerds for clout ...
 
clearly your pedalboard needs an upgrade ... I bought one under the Chinesium brand of "Ghostfire" off of Amazon that I shit you not took two cs-12s to power with the real estate it provides.
 
The analog Roland guitar synthesizer technology of the GR-100/300/500/700 is still unmatched by current digital guitar synthesis systems. Instead of moving towards digital pitch tracking and sample-based playback, Roland should have focused on optimizing/streamlining the 24-pin connector system, diversifying the product range of hexaphonic guitar effects, and bringing production costs down to make the technology more accessible.

I would guess because a lot of speaker jack plates are recessed, or that there is never anything so close to the back of your cab that you can’t spare the space. I still wouldn’t mind some though 😂

I rolled my own. Mogami 2552 + Neutrik. Had to cut down the plastic inserts Neutrik uses to keep the cable end in place inside the plug shell.
