Yeah, totally hit the Freqout if you don’t have one. Buffer doesn’t fuss the Carcosa, so they pair well and are an awesome set up for $120.

It's a pretty nice sounding 4049 distortion, with enough tweakability to be really useful but not so much as to be a pain in the ass. It has fantastic touch sensitivity and cleans up convincingly with guitar volume knob.

Ooh--I didn't realize that one was CMOS'd...gonna give that a fresh look :snax: :snax:
Yeah dude they are Ridonk cheap and sound really good. It has 3 internal trimmers I haven't messed with yet too. It's a really great pedal .. imagine that from Way Huge ;)
Thanks--hit a supa cheap one on Reverb :D :)* :joy: There will be tweakage :p

Nothing in the post yet but I sold $1500 (CAD) of gear recently, still have around 7-800$ worth of gear that I'm trying to unload. Thinking about saving some more money this summer and get a custom bass like an Alembic, Stradi, Skjold, Carl Thompson.. etc. Or maybe go with something just plain badass like an ampeg AUB-1 or Dan Armstrong, gibson EB2, .... oh and I'm seriously considering getting a fretless one, would be pretty fun.

Did anyone get a MicroFreak? I’m kinda curious after having a couple of microbrutes but I’m not sure I’ll like that keyboard thing.

Should have an EHX Grand Canyon inbound early next week. If QC is within acceptable limits, I'm thinking my Obscura and Nova Delay's days may be numbered.

A free Digitech Death Metal courtesy of my dad, who got it at an estate sale.
It's so metal!

There was one for full price on Reverb this weekend (full description: "Arturia MicroFreak: Not my cup of tea."), but otherwise they're shipping from dealers around May 15th into June :erm:

The good news is that Microbrutes can be had for less than $150 here & there, maybe as a result :thumb:

I have a red knob Tonal Recall and Faves coming in today. Maybe this will *finally* be the delay pedal I've been looking for.
Maybe partying will help.

I just got the EHX Switchblade Pro, as an upgrade of my old Boss LS2, to switch between guitar and synths prior entering the pedalboard.
So far I'm really very delighted!

I'm truly in awe of your level of restraint and ended up also ordering a deeply discounted Digitech FreqOut last weekend.:facepalm:

The EHX Grand Canyon arrived today, and there probably won't be time to tinker until this coming weekend. It appears smaller than photos would suggest and is dwarfed by my Boss RV-500.

:lol: I started the year with a less is more plan, and surprisingly sticking to it. Got the DOD Rubberneck from a member at a great price, and that's it. I did buy a synth too though, which was something I've been meaning to do for a few years...but I've used it maybe 3 times. I have a couple pedals I'd like to try soon but I don't really need them so :idk:

The Grand Canyon seems pretty cool. I've been tempted by the regular one, and the Oceans reverb a couple times. Hope it works out for ya! Did you get the FreqOut from the proaudiostar deals? I almost grabbed a Carcosa but held off, and now they are back up in price again. I think the possible issues with the seller turned me off.
