Lately tho, I've been picking a few things off at random and using 'em on a small makeshift board at home. The goal is to delve deeper into each pedal, really wrap my mind around 'em once and for all. With the monster board, I'm constantly stomping on pedals ADHD-style without focusing on any one pedal and it's abilities. I basically find a setting to two that I love and go. Simplifying my board and limiting pedals is the only way I'll spend time actually experimenting and it's working thus far.
This is the setup I'm currently working with and lemme tell ya, this one could keep me busy for a long, long time. So much awesomeness, shit ton of variety.
Lastly, anyone that's yet to try a Soundwave Breakdown needs to get on that.

I like that board! I guess I should try the soundwave breakdown one of these days... and the disaster transport sr.

I had to follow up and mention how totally fucking awesome the Disaster Transport SR is after spending a few days really messing with it. First off, each delay sounds great on it's own and very different from one another. Cover tons of ground with Delay A going 600ms plus really cool modulation and Delay B being a 300ms option plus lush reverb.
But the best part is all the switching options and various ways to run/combine the pair of delays, really well thought out and each option sounds completely different from the last. You can also utilize the master bypass for true bypass operation or leave it "always on" and switch the individual delays to get at them trails! No toggle or internal switch, just choose on the fly, very nice. As for delays, you can run each separately OR run both simultaneously in parallel operation with the bleed control down to zero. Basically like running 'em side by side.
Then comes the awesomeness of the Bleed control, my favorite control. You can run things series by using only Delay A but turning the bleed control up to taste, automatically sending A output to Delay B's input and stacking those bitches. This is where the fun begins. Pitch shifting mod delay fed into verb'd out shorter pulsing delay and onward in that fashion. Really lush and spacious sounding.
Finally, you can run series/parallel by switching both Delays on AND turning the Bleed control up to taste. Now you're running 'em individually side by side along with feeding A (and all it's modulation) into B (and all it's verb) for some of the biggest, dreamiest, superbly awesome tape delay sounds I've ever heard. Just fucking nuts if you need it to be, in a smeary, warped, sonically pleasing way but not overly "warm" or dark. Voiced perfectly imo.
Anyway, awesome pedal, wanted to let everyone know they should get one.
