Since I use synths, I can't just plug directly into a splattered fuzz. I've got to dial everything back or use mono sequences. Recently I started exploring the FX loop on my Bellwether again, which has allowed me a little more flexibility. Now I'm looking to expand my options, but I feel I may have already peaked.
The Four Eyes worked really well, so I picked up a Fuck. Now I'm looking for new options to use in the FX loop, or that can be paired with drum machines.
With most designs voiced for guitar, I know that a lot of nuance is going to be lost, no matter how I arrange the chain or adjust the pots. I'd still like to explore some other possibilities, regardless of these challenges. Some of my wish list items are somewhat aggressive, but maybe I should just look at stacking ODs, or perhaps another amp in a box?
The more versatile the better, but ideally I'd like something able to do edge of breakup at lower volumes, and dirty without being harsh or too fizzy.
stuff I've been looking at:
Brothers
Conquistador
Kliptonite
