JHS Flight Delay
Anyone enjoying the Flight Delay from JHS? I’ve been wanting to upgrade from my current delay pedal and liked the little bit I heard in a demo clip.

New EQD - Gary - Pulse Width Modulated Fuzz
YouTube Video
Click to view this content.
This is a collab between EQD and Lee Keirnan from IDLES. Left side is the green channel from the Gray Channel OD (DOD 250 clone). Right side is a pulse width modulated fuzz.
Pulse width modulation is a square wave modulation shape and when the wave hits a certain point all the sound gets cancelled out. Kind of sounds like a Flanger but way more extreme.
This is certainly a weird one and I'm kind of glad to see EQD releasing something more esoteric. I feel like a few of their latest releases have been really tame.

New Toy - ZVEX Mastotron
I’m mystified how this isn’t a more well-known pedal, it’s about the most perfect fuzz tone to my ear. The sub switch takes it from a high, sizzling tone that cuts through a mix like a saw, right through to the noise of an earthquake. It’s in a similar realm to the Carcosa (which I reckon is probably the best value fuzz ever made, really versatile) but a bit weirder and heavier. Joyous.

New Chase Bliss - Clean Compressor

The video describes it as bringing the dynamics of distortion to playing clean. It sounds like it does a lot of dynamic based effects like panning, tremolo, and swells.
CBA is usually out of my price range but they do genuinely cool stuff.

Thrown together mini board
Bunged a couple of pedals from the B-team box onto a little board I’d bashed together a while ago. I’ve had to cut the right-hand end down a bit to plug the Dirty Robot in.
I’ve been using this on synths, just as a bit of fun really. The dirty robot is fantastic, and very versatile. Seems redundant, using a synth pedal on a synth, but on rhythms it does all sorts of joyous things. The Bass Overdrive is a great little budget drive, and the wet/dry mix and low/hi tone shaping makes it well suited for synths. The Aurora is a nice, simple delay that you can manhandle nicely, and the Exosphere is a reverb that can be rather wild especially with the Little Monster expression switch.

My board of tone.
This is my travel board of tone. I mainly stick to plugins for effects.
The Nano Cortex is there just so I can capture and share tones I have nailed down, to give me a few effects when need a little something, to give me headphones out, and to act as a digital interface. I still haven't decided if it is a keeper.
The Notaklön is there for tone and volume boost more so than distortion.
29 EUNA magic box of mystery.
The Enigmatic's tones and a thing of absolute beauty.
Don't sleep on the Lion's clean tones.
The Woodrow is just a cool vibe sometimes.

Guitar pedals on .. flute?
Just came across this flautist using guitar pedals and it's pretty freaking awesome.
I tried to post the MP4 itself but I'm getting a "too many frames" error and can't seem to find any guidelines on video file upload limits.

New TrueTone 1-Spot Pro models 11, 5, and 8
Looks like the CS 11 has dropped the AC port and sag control from the 12, and it has an output to power an XP 5 or XP 8. The XP 5 and 8 drop the IEC power plugs, and have outputs to daisy chain to more XP 5/8 units. The XP 5 has SKUs for with and without a power supply, the XP 8 is only sold with a power supply.

NPD: Time Shadows
I really wanted one of these when they did the limited release but couldn’t justify it at the time. Glad the brought it back and improved upon it.
It’s a strange pedal and probably best for ambient effects or backing tracks. The DBA side is probably the most “usable” of the modes for more traditional guitar work. I have to play around with it more.
I tried something weird by having it between my distortions and almost blew out my eardrums with the feedback when I turned on the plumes.

New pedals on the board.
JHS Crayon and the previously posted Permission to Land found a spot.
The Crayon is so broken, I love it. Paired with the low-bit modulators on all three of the top row it's like playing a chiptune on a Gameboy with dead batteries.

The Darkness Permission to Land
The Darkness Permission to Land guitar pedal was delivered today.
It's my first Made in EU guitar gear and I gotta say, it's a finely crafted gain pedal.
The Justin nob is fine but it's redundant when I kick the Dan nob into lead gain. I didn't already have a 3 range EQ so this is going right at the end of my gain loop.
I suspect it's a two stage Klone with a low end scoop toggle.

JTM45 in a box.
My take on the JRockett 45. It's a Malcolm Young tribute. Now I just have to learn to play like him.

NPD: MXR 10 band EQ and Mission Engineering Expression
My birthday came and went, with two new pedals for my board. The expression pedal is the EP-25k, for use with the Pitch Fork and the tremolo. But alas I only have the one TRS cable for now, so I've only tried it with the Pitchfork. Really fun, and pleasantly different than using a vibrato arm on the guitar.
The EQ I haven't hooked up yet. I need to flip the board and look at my power situation as I don't have any slots left on the C-spot. The main intent for that pedal in the near-term is for when I switch from humbuckers to single coils. Presently plugging in my Strat is just really underwhelming as everything is set more for my PRS 24-08 and Epi 335. A longer-term interest with the EQ pedal is for splitting my chain for wet/dry between the Prince of Tone and the Micro Flanger.
