Probably the best gear commercial I've ever seen.

Probably the best gear commercial I've ever seen.

Totally gives a sense of the company and the pedal. 10/10.

I've been using it for a while. The fuzz switch is a really fun perform tool. In practice it is functionally identically to the pedal version. The cv inputs do open up a lot of possibilities too, and it's interesting finding the quirks that happen as you feed it cv values. I really like using a S&H with the delay time and reverb dwell.

I do have a couple of gripes. This is a problem I had with the pedal version too, I wish the volume between the fuzz and normal modes could be normalized. In order to have a somewhat consistent volume between settings you have to be very conscious about where you have the ctrl1 knob because it becomes the gain knob. In the pedal version this isn't as big of an issue because it's not really practical to change settings very much while performing. In the modular version it's a little more present of an issue because you have constant access to the knobs and switches.

The spin chip is located in an area that is really difficult to reach and requires you to disassemble the module and separate the circuit boards. So, if you want to try swapping the spin chip with one of Dr Scientist's other chips, it's a bit of a hassle.

Also, it's nice that multiple faceplates are included, but if you want the LEDs to look right you'll have to pull out a glue gun to swap the light pipes over.

Overall this thing captures the spirit of the original. It's a ton of fun to use, and the overall vibe makes me smile whenever I use it. It amazes me how good each effect is, and it makes me wish I had two of them in my rack
