I actually haven’t run the AR through the El Cap. yet.
However, I do run it through the Strymon Deco all the time, I really like that pedal. That’s not to say I don’t like the El Cap, I think it’s one of the best tape emulation pedals around.
I run everything into a patch bay so I can patch whatever into whatever quickly.
I generally have the Minitaur patched into the El Cap because it doesn’t have any effects otherwise.
I have an analog 104m super delay but I usually have the Sub37 patched into that. :)[/quote]
Nice! I was actually thinking of buying the deco for the RYTM. Does it fatten the sounds? I’m guessing it goes well with it? Thanks.[/quote]
yeah, the tape saturation side is excellent, I need to do a video, the lag deck side can give you up to 500ms of delay too, sometime I will give drums just a very slight delay and barely mix that in…of course you can do full on flanging or slapback effect with two decks like that too…definitely one of my favorite pedals even though it doesn’t have 101 effects/uses
They’re not tutorial movies, you can’t see my hands moving and there’s no script telling you what’s going on, and I appreciate that that kind of video is important.
But I just get off on the sonic capabilities of the machine, beyond the norm, in a way which is pleasing to my ears.
It’s quite a boring instrument until you get beyond the 4/4 ponytail music that a lot of people make on it. I think it lends itself to restraint and, with the analog circuits and lofi samples, texture.
I’m pretty sure that that was half or one cycle LFOs affecting different destinations on the master/FX sequence, mainly COMP and DIST. A bunch of slides between p-locked steps and some trigless trigs to keep the modulation variencies short.
Then, the other part is half or one cycle LFOs on machines and enough drive to start pumping and breaking up on the COMP and DIST settings.
Let me say to all of you: big thanks for the vids.
I’m on holiday traveling Florida for five weeks, far away from my beloved machines… #atinybithomesick
