Fair enough, I am pretty much right there with you haha
I like to sit at a computer as little as possible outside of when I'm at work.

all you're hearing is great reverb. give me any shitto casio and reverb and i'm there.

if you can find a dry, good recording of more than 1 good sound of the akai i'm impressed.
Vids is right on the money.
He really is. I might still go for a used one, because honestly I'll use reverb and overdrive on whatever I'll do with it. At first I though the reverb was built in but oh well.

Anyone used a Zvex Machine? Particularly with a Box Of Metal or other gated fuzz/amp distortion? It seems like it'd give you some weird gnarliness to a lot of stuff.

Also Dwarfcraft Hax? Seems like a cool, fucked up sounding alternative to a Gonkulator reissue. I've been using the Bitquest ring mod and it kicks ass, especially for weird stuff but I'd rather use the reverb setting.

Also this is with bass/baritone/vi

I don't even know what but I'm really craving a z vex super duper. I am really happy with my dirt section but still want it. I haven't even watched any demos, it just seems perfect in my head. Trying to start a new project similar to Jeff rosenstock. Just guitar, super duper, in limbo delay, amp.

This question is relevant to my interests!

I think Tristan has/had one. Can't remember though.
Currently using an unpleasant surprise as general gnar stacking pedal. Works perfectly for that.

I never had one.
Maybe I tried it once, not sure anymore.
It sounds mostly like a weirdly scrambled octave fuzz to me.
I remember having GAS for it, years later checking out clips again and then my interest wore off.
Can't say much about it honestly.
Might be in the same ballpark as the Unpleasant Surprise indeed.
good deals with: the_brow, phantasmagorovich, alexsga, DarkAxel, goroth, The Wood Wizard, Tendollarcat, vbps, monkeydancer, intothegroove, Brobee

I've thought about a Unpleasant Surprise also!! You're playing heavier stuff too right? What sounds do you tend to use it for?

Korg needs to make a souped-up Volca FM (or a neo DX7) in the Minilogue/Monologue format. Please and thank you.

Knob per function-ish would be too limiting for fm, give me a matrix and complete control!

Every time I settle down on a headphone amp to get something new comes out. :lol:

this looks sweet though, so here's hoping.

Edit: better video:

Interesting.

Ha, ha, that's why I've given up on the very idea of headphone amps. I'd rather just play really quietly through an actual speaker. :snax:
