Nice choices here, but the thing that fascinates me the most is the chain, I would have placed mostly everything the opposite way. Tetanus after Transmisser and Before Rainbow Machine must sound totally nuts.MrNovember wrote:

Sounds rad. I have been wanting the Transmisser for a long time but when I tried it it was a major bummer for me, does nice stuff but not exactly the specific things I thought it did. I found it was useful just for pads and stuff like that, but didn't react well to dynamic playing, as everything would became or too quiet or too messy.MrNovember wrote: It is pretty crazy! I'm mostly using the Rainbow Machine as a detune/chorus/doubler (with the pitch set just off unity), which is why it ended up after the Tetanus. But I do have to try to see what kind of nonsense I can get with the Luminary/Rainbow Machine combo; I'm sure it will be polyphonic pitch shifting insanity!
The Transmisser is actually one of the pedals I was trying to sell and decided to keep. I bought it with the intention as an end of chain reverb, but it was a little too wild for that. Decided to try it as a pre-dirt reverb and really liked it there! H9 is taking its place and will be used either as end of chain reverb or a looper. The H9 is another pedal I was trying to sell. I bought it with the intention to use it with synths, but it doesn't love synth signals, so I decided to try it on the pedalboard and it was kind of a perfect solution to my Transmisser problem.
That's exactly what I found as well, which is why I was originally trying to sell it. But I found if you turn the mix way down, you can coax some more standard reverb sounds out of itDowi wrote: Sounds rad.

Yeah, I just thought that I could grab a hundred other reverbs that could do the things I needed and more.MrNovember wrote:That's exactly what I found as well, which is why I was originally trying to sell it.

This was also my plan, but nothing I post has been moving on the used market lately. Pretty much everything I post sits long enough for me to second guess why I'm selling it and long enough to find new uses for it.Dowi wrote:Yeah, I just thought that I could grab a hundred other reverbs that could do the things I needed and more.MrNovember wrote:That's exactly what I found as well, which is why I was originally trying to sell it.

That's a blacktop JM that has been extensively modded. Previous owner swapped the cap and the bridge pickup to a Gibson Dirty Fingers. I swapped the pickguard, the bridge, slapped on the stickers, and swapped the neck to a baritone neck. I absolutely love itummohyeah wrote:MrNovember, what Jazzmaster is that? thing is sick.

like it a lot - I wanted that liquidy flange more than the jet plane that my MXR Micro Flanger gave me. I can still get that from emulations on the Zoom.Chankgeez wrote:Nice.How you likin' that Retro-Sonic Flanger?
