I'm pretty stoked with it! It does cut a fair bit low end when engaged, but that EQ change isn't wholly unpleasant depending on what you are going for. The CH-1 is certainly more "transparent" in that regard, but it just doesn't have quite the same sound to it. The CE-2 does indeed have a certain vibe to it. Does the post-punk bass thing very well.

On the other hand, the DL4 was delivered to my parents place last night, so I will be picking that up on the way home from work tonight. Already have 4x momentary footswitches put aside to replace the stock switches immediately :lol:

Picked up a Smokin' Amp Co. Bad Mother- Ezekiel 25:17 clone, it destroys! One of the very few pedals where the bassyness is bassy

I accidentally Micro Hadron Collider...now I'm fucked. Price was too good to resist. Thinking maybe I'll just ease back in with a medium 4ms pod or a pico case, then see if I want another monster rack after that.

I was really mostly missing eurorack for the CV end of things, much more so than the audio modules, and want more advanced control over my pedals and other gizmos that take CV. That re-entry plan didn't involve any audio modules to start with, but that just seems like unnecessary torment when considering it seriously...and it is a killer WMD filter after all, couldn't ask for better.

I have an empty Fender tweed case and I'm mulling over 1 more Strat or Tele. Might get one of those Pawn Shop 51s Fender made a few years ago.

that doesn't show up. in any case, Garcia-centric demos are far more relevant to my use case than the only other kind of demos on YT, those being bassists using it to make duck noises.

Still GASin for a purple PURPLL, with white knobs, if I'm to be picky :animal: . Hoping a restock in that particular colour will happen soon. I'm guessing it won't. But I'm hoping.

Also, got the opportunity to try out an Asheville ACV-1 at home before buyin. I'm to return to the shop next week on wednesday to give it back or pay for it. It simply doesn't have a bad setting, but at the same time I don't really feel like buying it right now. I will definitely get one eventually, but right now just doesn't feel right.

So the Micro-Tron

One of the fastest I've ever been able to dial in a usable sound..
I did not get one of the extra cards
Very expressive to your playing..
I need to open it up and adjust the input trim, it's set too high out of the box for my stuff..
Sounds good with flats!
Isn't ducking quacky [meaning: it's ducking doesn't do all the ducking annoying stuff something like a ducking Q-tron ducking does! I had one of the those ducking Q-Trons and ducking battled with it for years... the ducking thing never played nice..duck the ducking Q-tron and all its ducking offspring! ]
very rubbery!
Able to get into Bootsyland pretty quickly
bright leds are BRIGHT!!!

Just got an EHX 8 Step Program exp sequencer. Now I just need a TRS cable to try it out (never tried expression pedals before so I do not have these laying around).
