New Strymon pedal

GOOSED. CANNIBAL CORPSE TOAN

I believe you are referring to Cannibal Goose, who are not to be fucked with.

Yeah, I don't see how this thing can even think about beating a Mini for example in terms of sound and versatility.
They could have at least modeled some nice bias/headroom/starve thing in there and I would have been interested but as is... meh.

This is what I was thinking, too. 3 band EQ is the only thing they could think of to use those three knobs for? OK...'drive/gain,' 'volume'....now what? Bias/starve/sag/grit? Pulsewidth? Contour? How about an additive dirt pedal that goes crazy on even-order harmonics? One that adds some 14kz crystal lettuce? SO BORING

Even a sweep able mid would be awesome. Frequency and cut/boost and then sag or something cool

[Bartimaeus]

There is literally no reason that the secondary function for the mids knob should not be to select the center frequency. They really got lazy with this one, didn't they? Clearly targeting a market that wants everything done for them, rather than one that likes to tweak for specific tones...

Why mess with formulated success?

[popvulture]

because they are:

*losers
*lawyers
*uninformed
*not cool
*dads
*unimaginative
*born backwards
*born upside down
*not born

You forgot *born again

I've been wondering for a while if Strymon would actually go into the dirt world... I've always thought it'd be a terribly idiotic idea. People really seem to have very few issues with modeling if it's aiming to capture delay/reverb/modulation, but try it with drive and you're going to met with a wall of naysaying, and with good reason. Why would you spend 300 bucks on a modeled overdrive when there are tons of actual analog options for the same price or less?

As for the Metal Zone, I've been a defender on here many a time. Slaughter of the Soul. Also sounds RAD on synth. Alright, back to work.

Yeah, for the most part, I think Strymon produces quality stuff. I love my El Cap. But the absurdity of a $300 normal dirt box with one preset that people are fawning over before even hearing it, like they were earlier this morning, drives me a little crazy.

Granted, we do the same for Montreal Assembly and Smallsound/Bigsound on this board. everybody's got their thing, but it is fun to mock the other camps.

Do we? I love a good arbitrary straw man as much as the next guy but I'm prettu sure that's hilariously incorrect.

I think so, yeah. It's a matter of scale, but we're still drooling over stuff in the same way. Same process, different direction.

There you go with that "we're" again.

DoS: vvvvvvv



...by which I mean you are a purple penguin in a floppy hat.

[coupleonapkins]

The namesake, possibly?

Sadly, it's also a "city" in "California"

Riverside is a "city" in "California" that the "Beat Farmers" wrote a "song" about, which sounds "pretty much" like the Strymon's "tones" but without a $300 "pedal".

Sorry, I was trying not to disturb the house in the early A.M. & couldn't crank the youtube, though my idiocy in general will probably eke me into deadbeat dad rock sooner than later (apologies also to the Beat Farmers, The Beatnuts, Beech Nuts & that band The Beets, also/maybe beets in general). Good tune (peace to crazy baldhead Pete Celi, too).

Also, do you think if everyone here, TGP & Talkbass pooled our finances, we could buy out Strymon & sell them to Behringer?

Also it's pronounced

:V

[Invisible Man]

hahaha you are above the gifs of a lowly reprobates like me. Do you avoid all eye contact with waitstaff like Lucille?

(oh shit I'm getting schooled on pronunciation, too)

Pronounce this, ninny:

[Invisible Man]

Shit those balls turned out way too pointy.

If it makes you feel better I just sat at my desk and went Weeeeeeeeee-Ooooou

[popvulture]

I think you're now Pointyballs, IM.

Invisible McPointyBalls, at your service.

It doesn't, but only because that's how I imagine you acting pretty much all the time.
