Yeah, I think I'm going to save up for a Sea Machine and make the Bigsby setup 2nd on the list.

I'd also like to say that I never use the bigsby when I use my chorus&vibrato pedals because I can't
really hear the note being bent much, mainly cuz I run the pedals at higher rates as well.

to do k-shieldz shiz on bigsbies it just takes some practice. they have this weird thing where they do quarter/8th note bends with 0 effort but anything past and you practically have to (according to some people) basically whammy your guitar out of tune. which isn't true, really.

and personally i'd say its better to have a dedicated vibrato pedal (read: BBE Mind Bender) instead of using the Sea Machine for vibrato because as much as i love it, its a bit tricky to get a real smooth/not-plinky vibrato out of it.

I 2nd getting the mind bender with the sea machine, the sea machine is great for spacy chorus ambient sounds not so much
for vibrato though.
