Different purposes for sure.
Zoia possibilities are amazing, but far from plug and play, as I make my patches from scratch. It can be a mini Octatrack with sequenced loopers !
Pitch range is amazing (+/- 5 octaves for looper, pitch shifter, granular), and it has much more audio mangling power than OT ! But OT is “almost” ready to mangle.
So I’d definitely use both, and Zoia for real time sampling with high pitch, everything synced. In 2023 I should be ready…
Od/Dist/Amp/Cab definitely better on Hx Stomp imho.
Zoia in the fx loop of Hx Stomp seems obvious. Then in OT fx loop, mixer loop for feedback and destroy everything…
Waiting for admin confirmation.
You can eventually say I used OT to send midi clock and CCs.
Both worked independently, not together. I was sending 2 or 3 different CCs, plocked (no continuous sending), no other messages.
They call it a transparent overdrive and my o my is it. I have not found an instance where it doesnt improve tone without “changing” it character. With no drive its a beautiful boost. It works amazingly on some already amazing vintage tube circuits, 59 bassman, brownface deluxe, marshall 1974x 18 watt. And straight into daw.
Its a klon clone that i think has won some shootouts. Im my mind, i imagine 2 of these would kill an analog heat for simple warming up of a signal (obviously not for bells and whistles). Maybe i will try it on analog rytm dual vco?
The klon circuit is great, I have a couple (Way Huge Conspiracy Theory and the MXR Sugar Drive) and I like them on bass too. Bit of a stretch to say it would compete with an AH on varied sources though. AH just has so many more flavours.
I think the Strymon’s Ola Tri-Chorus setting sounds great, especially in stereo. I like it at the end of a chain with a stereo delay in front of it. The Boss Dimension C also sounds great, I think, but maybe a bit more headroom on the Ola for higher level input,
Man this thread has me gassing for an American professional 2 jazzmaster. Unfortunately it’s so beyond my reach financially, but if I ever eventually sell my eurorack it’ll be the first guitar I buy.
In a more positive note, I managed to get a deal on a lovely Faith ‘naked’ Venus acoustic guitar, which I’ll be picking up on Tuesday as a Xmas present to myself…I’ve been after a Martin for years but again, too cost prohibitive but my local guitarguitar has this Faith reduced from £700 to 450, plus I’m part exing my fender player mustang so I’m basically getting it for £200.
I love the minimal look, it’s made from exceptional wood (spruce and mahogany, no sprays or lacer ) , with the idea that over time it creates its own lived in and well played look, which is something I find cool, it’s got a pick up and tuner hidden somewhere too, beautiful tone and I’m sticking some 13’s on so I can play with my fingers the way I prefer in my preferred alt tunings and break it in while I get progressively more pissed over Xmas.
Focus is on Bass atm for some recordings. Flangers back on later when guitar can play with us again. @bpgrand89 I dig the Boss CE-2B most, mostly because it’s the CE-2 with a mix pot, and it’s so easy to mod. One of these on the board is modded to be slightly brighter (like a CE-1) and can be mixed to full tremolo at Wurlitzer speed! Definitely prefer the 2B to my new CE2w for everything.
DC-2w is great for stereo chorus from still micro pitching to EHX Clone Theory like vibes.
Whoa, chorusman! So if you only kept one, which would it be?
And have you tried the dc-2w on rev2? And maybe we already discussed, but did you think the rev2 chorus was respectable enough comparatively? I like it i guess but im not an expert….i like rev2 chorus better than the Octatrack chorus thats fo sho!
