Beautiful. I've been watching this over and over and over. Maybe I'll try this instead of....

(checks "inevitable foray into modular" fund - empty)

Can we post internal organs in B/S/T?

Deckard's Dream is simply beautiful...

Does anyone know of anything similar in non-modular form that is less than a grand? Looking for a standalone synth and I need these sounds in my life!

I remember pestering him a couple of years ago to make one. I'm set for verbs, but I'm definitely getting it regardless since the Quadraverb was my first foray into effects and something I relied on solely for years. Interested to hear how close he got. :snax:

Edit:
It will be an instant grab if the 3 modes are ChorusStrings, Taj Mahal and Reverse. Reverb diffusion and pre-delay controls are a must too.
I wish Matthew would just do a deluxe multi-unit.

He's already got the Summer, SpaceXpander, Sky-Fi....now this? 4 standalone reverbs is a bit much to me.
A deluxe unit with the Sky-Fi algos (supposedly Midiverb inspired) would be ace. I don't want to get too excited about the Quadraverb pedal as all my fav patches are personalized to my tastes and who knows what the 3 algorithms will be. God damn I hate that a 3 mode limit has somehow become the standard for most fv-1 pedals. /grumble grumble
I promise if this happens it won't be limited to three algorithms.
:!!!: :cool:

The Memory Boy has one for time, the Dunkmore Semen Vapor Trails has one for mix, and I've seen some others like Tonal Recall that let you control multiple parameters with one exp pedal, but I can't find anything that lets you do both with two separate pedals.
Moog 104M. Good luck?
Eeesh, that's too rich for my blood. Thanks though!

Man, I always underestimate how underrated those Laney VC30s are. Prefer them to Blues Jr/Deville.

There's nothing particularly trendy about this post, I just need a new cleanish combo amp

You can build the Mutable Instruments Ambika. Parts for the main board and six voice cards was ~$500 if I remember right.

I saw a KORG POLYSIX for $900 on Craigslist once (Strange Tales would appreciate this) in Woodbridge, NJ.
Just realized Andrew is in Australia though and deals like that seem unlikely if I am not mistaken (they are very rare in the Tri-State area).

Best deal I saw was a JUNO 60 for $650 in Philly. That one, I am kicking myself for not snagging.

These synths are voiced VERY differently from a CS-60/80. They still have a warm, expressive, sound though.

I get anxiety thinking about the first consumers that bought those old synths. Like, some consumers bought a ROLAND JUPITER, brought it home and played it...that's it. Blows my mind having access to those sounds and not living in a world as connected as ours. No demo vids, just figure out the shot yourself. Have fun!

Reminds me of the time I found a Juno 60 for $350 in Cape May. Thing was so broken and dirty though that I didn't buy it.

Unrelated but since this is the 'whatever thread' Snazzy finished the Eternal Spring VCF. Thought you would want to know.

Yea I got a message about it but my ass ain't buying anything for a while since I'm focusing on my distro lately. It's on the list of things to try though.

Trying to get my hands on a FIELD TRIP. Not a priority though. I think it sounds cool but I'm not "aching" for it. It's come to a point if acquiring a pedal is not easy prey, I don't want it anymore.

Yeah, the Field Trip seems interesting (i.e. it seems to be an oscillating fuzz).

I reached out to Mr. Snazzy to see if he would make one...since I literally can't find it anywhere...I know they have issues with screen printing pedals but I truly prefer the hand painted stuff anyway. If he won't make it / doesn't answer it's no sweat to me. I have my sites on another custom piece of gear (that giant MID-FI box with the Clari (not) and Deluxe Pitch Pirate in one enclosure)

*EDIT - Just heard from Mr. Snazzy. Looks like I am getting one!

STRANGE TALES' warps is up for sale. I'm assuming your next few BST threads are the 'Fund Deckard's Dream' channels? You're building it right?

Nah, no matter what I really don't see myself saving up the $1k for a full set of PCBs. I hope he continues to have them available so I can in the future. I am going to use the Warps sale to fund parts for the 4ms SMR PCB that I really want to build.
