New Pedal Releases

Why? Because they aren’t expensive enough? I’d say 3 out 4 users on TGP wouldn’t know a PT2399 delay from a BBD delay in a blind test. There’s a few that would fool me too if I’m being honest. Until I heard it oscillate atleast.

having owned a couple chase pedals now, they're unnecessarily shit on for expense. the rest about TGP having tin ears is straight up microwaved reddit leftovers ...

Just testing the water here, am I the only one that felt a tad... mislead.... by the CB marketing for the Big Time. Its says "hybrid analog and digital delay" - I was genuinely expected BBD devices. Its a 100% digital delay unless I misunderstood. The "only" analog stuff is the preamp and limiter. This feels a tad disingenuous. Granted, I wasnt a buyer, but its put me off regardless.

I’ll page @dunkindonuts to clear it up, if he has time.

People are being weirdly pedantic about the role of "hybrid" as a term here. I don't really think there's anything to clear up. It's a digital delay with extensive analog processing to make it sound good and to create sounds that would not be possible with digital hardware alone.
 
Guess I am not the only one - take it on face value, the marketing isnt clear. No offence or pedanticism intended really, just curious.
In the past hybrid delays have often been digital control of analog delays. Its not exactly a stretch to see how people may have had certain expectations here.

...hope nobody is expecting a crazy tube to be in this pedal.

My dude, any time Crazy Tube Circuits drops a new pedal I am the guy wondering if it will have a crazy tube circuit in it.

I understand that the company's name comes from the guy's nickname being the Crazy Tube Guy or something and these are just his circuits, but dammit I want to see more crazy tube circuits in the world.

Imagine my surprise the first time I bought a Sushi Box pedal.

This one came out a few months ago, I picked one up because I'm a Muse fanboi. I was whelmed. It does the Supermassive Black Hole sound pretty well and very little else. I ended up flipping it.

Any idea what it looked like inside? I've become fixated on this one for some reason (and couldn't name a single Muse song).

I of course opened it up before I even plugged it, I'll dig through the phone and see if I can find the gutshots. I know I took at least one. All through-hole components, two-layer board, wouldn't have been a terrible thing to trace if one were so inclined.

I enjoyed s2 but did feel like there were a few issues:

• Too much focus on May/Corah and Kentaro, who I feel are the two least-developed protagonists— but the focus didn’t seem like it developed them all that much, and instead kinda just shifted their trajectory to a different, equally-undeveloped path.

• The whole thing with young Lee visually appearing before old Lee and Kei through the remnants of Titan X’s rift in the finale… made no sense to me. The communications via radio between young and old Lee a few episodes earlier made sense within the worldbuilding of the show, but there wasn’t really anything to establish the logic of this whole force-ghost type thing

On the other hand, there was a lot that I thought was great about this season:

• Great storytelling in the young Lee storyline. The tensions with his father really developed his character in a great way.

•. The Lee and Kei affair and resulting subplot was fantastic. Bill’s discovery of Lee’s note to Keiko and the shockwaves it sent really added a depth to the existing tension between the characters that made for truly captivating human storylines— the way it exposed Bill’s motivations for leaving Hiroshi behind (while also later revealing that there was much more complexity to the situation than just Bill ‘abandoning’ him); the way it put a wedge between Keiko and Hiroshi, and how it explored Hiroshi’s hypocrisy for blaming Kei for Bill leaving him, while Hiroshi himself had two families that he kept secret from each other, AND abandoned both of them; the way Lee’s “in another lifetime” sentiment was turned back around on him and his decision to direct young Lee to not engage with Kei when they were both trapped in Axis Mundi.

• The decision to kill off Hiroshi mid-season was very bold. Huge emotional impact, and it showed that the show runners aren’t afraid to have real stakes at hand.

• Titan X was incredibly rendered, and the fact that they showed us so much of her, and in daylight no less… it’s incredible considering the actual monsterverse movies tend to minimize kaiju screentime, and keep the scenes mostly in dim lighting (underground &/or nighttime scenes) to hide any cgi deficiencies.

• Speaking of Titan X, she’s such a wonderful written original kaiju! Incredible character design, super interesting “powers”, and great motives as an intelligent being.

I think the Kentaro character was a real weenie this past season. But then so was Cate. Too many "deep soul searching" moments and WAY too many toddler rants with the tears. But then I'm only here for the monsters.....

I appreciate the design and Kentaro is amazing, but none of the sounds coming out of it really excite me.

I'm not primarily a bassist, but I pretend to be one on the internet.

I'm primarily a bassist and it's 1000% your fault that I have no interest in this DI. It sounds fine in the video but it has some bells and whistles that I wouldn't utilize and doesn't employ any of that tubular pixie dust that has become the core of my rig. And like you said, the sounds in the two videos I've watched were not grabbing me, especially the stingray toans from basstheworld🤮. I'd upvote a wishlist post and commit to a build if only to reveal what that Kentaro dude has behind the pixelated box.
