Re: Irrational EHX Lust Thread
Yeah, Black Finger is great, I really like its ability to add some nice warm color to whatever you run through it without requiring you to get too squishy. It can squash super hard if you want, though it tends to get too noisy for me at those settings. Never tried upgrading tubes, wonder if that helps?

Re: Irrational EHX Lust Thread
Those tube-based pedals do look pretty awesome. Been wanting to try the English Muff'n myself, since my rig is solid state i like running tube-based distortions/preamps (used to run a Blacksatr DistX, now I'm using a Vox V8 distortion). power requirement and size have generally kept me away.dubkitty wrote:did i mention that i got a Black Finger this year and it's absolutely wonderful? subtle peak modulation to total squish. i need to get some NOS Telefunken 12AX7s to up the sound quality.

Re: Irrational EHX Lust Thread
Sooooooooooooooooo....... I may have just pulled the plug on a VERY reasonably priced 90’s reissue. Popped up on my Instagram, I paid for it without really thinking about it and picking it up Monday.retinal orbita wrote:Big Box DDM (had one, sold it for $700 when I needed to finance some other gear and now I’m priced out of the market)
I’m more overjoyed than I have a right to be at this point


(When I sold it was to finance some other more needed gear while my wife was in grad school and I was the sole breadwinner - I’ve always regretted it and I am very excited for this!!)

Re: Irrational EHX Lust Thread
I keep hearing good things about the Tri Parallel Mixer.
I'm afraid it would be one of those things I love but spends years sitting in the closet between uses.
I think I would end up spending more money on longer patch cables. The need for two patch cables per pedal bothers me for some reason.
I'm usually too lazy to set up more than three pedals or round up a bunch of patch and power supply cables.
The design feels Hyrulean which does rule. I need the Triforce.

Re: Irrational EHX Lust Thread
I am actually more excited than I imagined! I let the previous one go when I was trying my phase out “fancy” pedals but I always missed it. Seeing them on Reberb for $900 is VERY disheartening.Scruffie wrote:Find a broken one and I'll fix it gratiscoldbrightsunlight wrote:ohhh nice, congrats!!!!

Well, the simple story is I was doing a painting and he was just meant to be a temporary place holder but I realised how horrifying he looked, it made me burst out laughing and thus, Frank.
