I gotta try one of these out.

The way I use my Micro POG is octave-down prominent, and blend in a bit of the octave up. I’m wondering if I wouldn’t miss the octave up if the tracking is faster, or there’s less perceived formant shifting.

I highly recommend it.

And.......?

 

[Paradox916]

Every other pitch shifting pedal I own is now officially obsolete. I will be getting rid of my Whammy, Drop, and Nano POG. Tracking on this thing is insanely good. After playing with it for 2 hours I went and ordered the XS1 as well. I don't usually like Boss, but they knocked it out of the park with this one.

I was just looking at this yesterday

And.......?

It's a keeper. After messing with the dipswitches a bit, it can do everything from a gritty, clangy overdrive up to "how's this amp still producing sound?"

I do wish the two master dipswitches were external stomps, though.

Demo?

Demo?

Possibly later today. Gotta go spray some parts for a friend's jazzmaster build, and then finish up the last commission in my queue

I've noticed you haven't built / demoed a Nutty Fuzz

95 dollars on Reverb. Unmolested and the hype is real. I jumped on it so fast. IYKYK

Snagged one a bit ago locally for 30$ that “had no effect”. Traced it out to a couple of those tiny electros. Awesome sounding

What a score that was. Definitely a great find. I have a short chip MIT DD-3 and the repeats on this new one are warmer than that one. This one is gonna live beside my DM-2 build on my board.

I can't really roast much, but…
I know what I'm getting ol monky for Christmas this year. A pack of these!

My finger gives its regards.

Also, you didn't put a glitter bomb in there with all that extra space, did you?

Many thanks again!

Finding “broken” stuff is my fave

I own his discontinued book too. I was worried there wouldn't be enough new material to warrant buying this new one but my initial impressions are very very good. I feel like the last one fell disappointingly just short of being a complete A-Z on the subject, and perhaps a little disjointed from section to section. The new book seems to address all that. I definitely would recommend this over Kuehnel's Fundamentals of Guitar Amplifier System Design, but there's good stuff in that book too.

You did mention at some point that you needed beta testers right? I'll DM you my address...........

I have wanted to learn more about tubes for a long time. Does it cover the basics of tube circuits like an EE101 would cover transistors or does it give a bunch of stuff for granted?

I think it covers the basics very well. If you can read basic schematics you'll do well. The first 39 pages cover just the triode gain stage. From helpful diagrams showing what the basic components around the gain stage are called and what they do (like grid stoppers, grid leaks - you'll be talking like a pro tube dude in no time haha), to load lines, clipping etc.

I have been eyeing this and/or a Dan Erlewine luthier handbook. I guess “why not both “ is the right answer after your review…
