Re: mantis tourbox
Magiclawnchair - I could add you in the end of the round.
Ok, some quick settings and advise:
Octavia sound - Balance at minimum, vol to taste, tune 80-100% (with less tune 25-50% better for chords and more sitarish in the high frets, will need to hit more hard but you'll be rewarded if you like natural resonant splash)
Scrambley - Balance 0-25%, tune 80-100%, play with the intermod for the decay
Synth - Balance 45-70%, down 50-75%, intermod 0% (if you want more on the glitch side 100%), tune 80-100% + short delay or flanger
I'm a hippie keyboard player that likes organs sounds on acids- high frets, lots of bends (try to match the short delay time {around 100-200ms} with your bend), tune 80-100% down 60%, intermod 0%, balance around 50% (tweak from there cw until you barely hears the octave down, kinda like is breathing on your back )
down, lets go down but robot style: tune 40%-80%, intermod 80%-100%, down 0%-30% or 75%-100%, balance 100%, mode switch 1(up), 3 (down) for more wobble sound
for extra sustain push with another fuzz, booster, drive or compressor.
Put a od after it, to smooth it out
Experiment with Wah before and after.
Volume pedal after for swells, before if you want the gated sound to be variable.
it wont work with voltage starvers.
Let the pedal play you, forget about playing with the pedals.
Playing 2 notes at times the pedals get more glitch, one note the pedal is well behaved. Playing low notes and high notes the mantis eat your indiecred and hipster tones.
Bend like your life depend on it.

Re: mantis tourbox
guess what
I JUST PICKED IT UP TODAY!
I don't have too much time to use it since Midterms, 5-hour rehearsals, and plane flights take up most of this coming week, but I will make time to use it and get it out to the next person.
I AM SO EXCITED
