Yeah I especially like that blue chorus pedal. My favorite type of chorus is vibrato small clone type like Cobain used and I've got plenty of stuff for that sound, but thier blue chorus is great for that The Cure type of chorus and it's great on EP too. The tube screamer and yellow drives, I often use one or the other in front of the Nembrini Marshall. They're both solid for front of amp distortion. There's a ton of tube screamer pedals out there and theirs is a good one. I really like that Rat pedal, the blackdist2 I think it is. I think @Soundwise didn't like it though I believe she doesn't like Rat pedals in general iirc. But I play doom rock/metal and for me it sounds awesome on baritone guitar and bass w/ an octaver (1 octave up). I had the option to get the orange ds1 vst for free from a dude on kvr one time but that dude had just gotten done giving me for free the yellow drive, tube screamer and blue chorus - he was giving away a bunch of free stuff and I just felt kind of greedy coming back for a third time and asking for the ds1 lol. But now I may grab ds1 and I'm looking at Indent 2 tool. I mean they'd be free so might as well right

What's worth getting now if I got Chandler amp earlier and I don't need any eq, comp or channel strips? I've got all the pedals except for orange ds1. BTW, I know some people don't like that Rat pedal but it's dope actually, it makes a great buzz fuzz bass, if you're into that kind of thing.

See that makes me mad and I'm hurting for you. I mean it. Because you know how I get when I miss out on a deal.. I get like Lieutenant Dan when he yanked Forrest out of his bed and onto the hospital floor in the middle of the night all enraged that Forrest "cheated him out of his destiny." I get like Rain Man outside of some stranger's house in the country and Judge Wapner is about to come on and Raymond *does not* have a front row seat. I get like Richard Dreyfuss in What About Bob when he finally snapped and tried to blow Bob up but ended up blowing up his own house instead. But when I do score a great deal on something I get like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally during that infamous diner scene. I'll have what she's having.

So the Chandler then? https://honestampsimreviews.com/2018/12/01/brainworx-chandler-gav19t/ I wanted this amp some time ago and used to cruise kvr for it but then forgot about it. Guys would sometimes sell it on there for $10 or so and usually it'd get snatched up quick.

I like those. There's also this free one I was looking at but haven't got it yet. I think I have part 1 of it so they emailed me this https://www.caelumaudio.com/CaelumAudio/?Page=TapeCassette2

Mystery also solved as to what happened to Jimmy Hoffa! Just kidding, the mob definitely chopped him up and incinerated the, stuff

@bayoubill, so who will be your best man this time?

I check my bank balance everytime after I buy something, not before.

You don't have to do anything. You don't have to do this man.

Thanks and I won't. Only the stone cold absolute best for me as always.

Not to hijack topic but real quick anyone try this amp? Heard of it yesterday https://ml-sound-lab.com/

I think it was nolly that I remember having a really great strong and punchy clean sound

Does that one only do vinyl stuff or does it do some other stuff too like RC-20?

All I really want from these cats is RC-20. So some time this summer then @Piotr I can maybe expect a 50% off sale?

@husker, don't buy it. If you do.. well.. I just don't wanna say...

Lol yeah I just saw on their site. Man I've been spending a lot of money lately, $100 here $100 there.. not on junk or frivolous spending but good stuff.. upgraded from Komplete 10 to 12 for $99. Got Nectar 3 full for $80, a piano library that Simeon sold me on, a couple of 1tb SSDs. I've been wanting Da Capo but I'll research it a bit, I want to make sure it's good enough for the final production as I don't like the idea of buying "just for sketching" software. I also don't do super huge orchestra productions but I want to have a little something in the orchestra realm for when I need those sounds and short of buying Albion or something I've been considering Da Capo.

Hmm, I guess there is 50% off of Da Capo. @Zo (and anyone else), I know you have Da Capo, do you consider it worthy for final production or only good enough for sketching ideas?

Let me know when it's 50% off of De Capo

What controller do you have again? Not long ago I had the M-Audio Oxygen 61 silver as my midi controller and I wasn't really thinking or complaining about it until it got wonky. So when it started glitching my plan was just to get the newest M Audio oxygen 61 which is just a couple hundred bucks, but then I started researching and reading and you know how that goes and before long I was ready to spend $700 on a midi controller, that Novation sl61 mkiii lol. It went from what was supposed to be just as simple upgrade from the old Silver M-Audio oxygen to spending several hundred more on something better. But you know you go down that road researching something and it's hard to come back and now you have to have the best but if that cheap M-Audio silver never acted up on me I'd still be using it today w/o thinking about it. Is what it is.

That's not a bad idea for key switches actually. How are you assigning the key switches to it, by zoning or their own midi channel ?

Pisses me off but back in the day there were large controllers being made all over by Alesis, Kurzweil etc. Yeah you can spend some money and get a good piano action controller today from Nord Lead or somewhere but I want the features that these cheap controllers have but in a high end large controller with Fatars and right now there's literally just TWO of that kind wtf

Word, though I prefer a 61 key but yeah there's very few high end offering for even 61 key much less 70+ key. Most midi keyboards today are marketed for bedroom electronic producers who use them to maybe play a few chords here and there but are mostly triggering stuff and thus don't mind the often tiny slender keys that I hate. There's a ton of those types of controllers and hardly any of the other. I had an Arturia KeyLab mkii 61 for a second and those keys literally bent down when pressed all the way and without much pressure either, just cheap @ss plastic keys on a $500 controller what a pos. We talked about this before but for me the only real controllers worth getting is that NI S61 and the Novation SL61 Mkiii. The NI is too stripped compared to the Novation. Afaik there's litteraly nothing better in that league than those two right now. I like the Novation Sl61 so I'm not really complaining but it'd be nice if there was some more choice as right now the ratio between those types of controllers and these cheap ones that keep coming out is like 1:30 or something.

Lol

Good to hear cuz I just scored Nectar 3 full last night at a crossgrade price of $80 something to do this in the box. Just barely got it too as technically that promo was already over and it was back up to $250 almost right after I got it. Yeah I record proper harmonies when realism is what I'm after but in this case I'm after cool harmony "effects" like this girl does in that video up there and I'm mainly a studio musician at this moment so Nectar seemed the better option with itb flexibility and much cheaper too.
