"LIGHTBULB", Thanks Fam for the inspiring sounds, Love my OBNE Alpha and have used it on a few releases. Just paired it with a Nightsky and oh man does it sound unreal. I also use my REVER on the same signal path as others. Peace out !

Mmm trails for days in a canyon of reflections and modulation that echo like an under sea cave of Ohhhh this sounds fun!

[robgoodfellow]

great demo, excellent boulot, a guitar synth board would be cool

I was very confused when some of the pedals were played but the video didn’t highlight them? But otherwise great playing and beautiful soundscapes. I like the categories you had for the pedals too.

That's a VERY peculiar 'clean tone' at the start - it's surely already been laden with effects?

i'm a wheelchair user and can't use my feet. so i give a shit and do not waste money on an expression pedal. rather shoegazing with the gain at max :D

That fuzz sound makes me think of judeo-christianity.
