Was checking out H9 demo videos when I ran across this beast: The Hoxton OWL http://hoxtonowl.com
I'm digging this current wave of open-source sound-wibbling. The patch library (and demo videos) are damn impressive. I can't fund $400 on another sound-masher and I certainly can't take on another new programming language when I'm already dealing with three. I hope someone in these parts gets some face time with one.

Added BBE now that they no longer have the worst graphics in the pedal industry.

Why do pedal manufacturers think it's a good idea to attach big rubber feet to the bottoms of them? trying to attach these to a pedal board is a ballache. Should be an easier way to remove them than having to peel them off then use white spirit to get the tape on.

FWIW, the last six pedals I purchased did not have the feet but included them separately.

I have a weird crush on Andy from ProGuitarShop. I was in their store in Portland last time I was there and was kind of sad that he wasn't actually there.
― joygoat, Saturday, 13 December 2014 10:23 (nine years ago) link
xp I don't know - when he's demoing pedals he never actually shows the amp. So he could be lying, like the kid at school who claimed to have "every Nintendo console ever made", but then wouldn't let you go round their house to check them out.
― just like Nietzsche but with jokes (snoball), Saturday, 13 December 2014 11:00 (nine years ago) link
It'd be funny if he actually didn't have any of these amps, and the whole time he's been running into a Line 6 Pod.

And to bring it back to actual pedal talk, I can't really imagine anything less useful than a Muff Fuzz that goes straight into another Muff Fuzz with nothing in between, but somehow Peter sells it.

It is twice the muff fuzz. Immediately.

its actually not two fuzz circuits, the original muff is a gnarly sorta overdrive. stacking them is actually really cool, it's one of the sleeper pedals in the eh line, or at least it was when it was in the big box, the new ones suffer from ehx nano failure rate disease.

I wonder if anybody can help me track down a pedal, a couple of weeks back an ad popped up on my FB page with a cool looking pedal that had a whole cassette tape mechanism built into it, I only caught a glimpse as I was clicking through and it's never returned to my feed.
Tried googling but to no avails, i HAVE TO KNOW what this damn pedal sounds like.

"In US dollars it will be $799. It is affordable - but you must bear in mind there are many moving, expensive parts inside. so of course it will be a bit more money than a normal analogue overdrive pedal. And everything will be hand made in Denmark."
damn.

you could basically get a RE-201 or similar for that amount of cash.

That one is fully restored, I imagine you might be able to pick up an as is one for $7-800, but odds are you're throwing at least $2-300 to a tech to get it running clean again

T-Rex stuff is built like the proverbial brick shithouse. I haven't tried the Replicator, but every other pedal of theirs I have played I have liked.
― Three Word Username, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:34 (nine years ago) link
yeah their stuff is super high grade builds, no question. one of the few modern companies id trust to build a decent tape machine, honestly

I posted that after typing 're-201 space echo buy' into google and this was the second thing that came up
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roland-RE-201-Space-Echo-Vintage-Tape-Echo-machine-professional-overhauled-/141553315759
Don't want to get into an argument over it, and then the point can be made that the RE series certainly aren't pedals anyway...
Regardless, it's an awful lot to pay for a limited use delay pedal!

― a strawman stuffed with their collection of 12 cds (jjjusten), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 21:28 (nine years ago) link
I have an RE-201 that I got for essentially free (well, as payment for debts incurred) years and years ago and it's awesome, more like a living beast than a machine, it is v strange. I wouldn't call it a limited use delay pedal at all. Just had my tech buddy service it cuz the output was acting up, now I need to replace the tape :(
there is a decent digital pedal knockoff though, schwantz has one
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 23:15 (nine years ago) link
yeah i dunno, i love the 201 but the pedal leaves me cold, perhaps it just can't get fucked up enough
― don't ask me why i posted this (electricsound), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 23:36 (nine years ago) link
it's true the pedal doesn't act quite the same way although I can't quite put my finger on how. I mean if you crank the delay level up all the way it does the feedback thing but it is different somehow.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 00:04 (nine years ago) link
XP to rogermexico, thanks!
That's a cool looking pedal however it's not what I saw, -from what I can remember - this one was a lighter colour, more squared off and had a cassette tape housing mechanism built flush in the centre with a cassette in it, it was the coolest looking thing.
