Does the Electroman do trails?

(Just watched another demo - true bypass, so I guess that's a no).

Tourbox #1 arrived safe and sound. Looking forward to spending some uality time with it but it might be a couple days before I have real time to do what I want. Stupid x-mas haha. I plan on doing demo's etc. again.

Sorry it took me so long to put together a review of Tourbox 1.

Unfortunately, this will be more brief than my Tourbox 2 review, as I had it during a hectic time just before Christmas and didn't get a lot of playing time.

My favorite was definitely the Electroman delay - so much so that I bought one about a week after the tourbox left my hands. Footswitchable momentary self-oscillation is essential to the way I use delay, so I have a lot of other similar pedals to compare with the Electroman (Lunar Echo, Kilobyte, Dr Sci LIFDD). The Electroman does this feature in a different way than the others - while the others can get chirpy and harsh/bright on the oscillation repeats, the Electroman has more low end and a more pleasing wash to the repeats that works well when you play over it. You can also dial it in so the oscillations don't get so loud and out of control as the others (especially in comparison to the LE). Overall, I think the delay sound is very natural and pleasing, and the tone knob is a big part of that, being able to dial in brighter or darker repeats. The effects loop for modulating the repeats with additional pedals is also very useful. I like to use octave, ring mod, and of course fuzz in the loop.

I enjoyed both fuzzes, the Agent 13 and Formula 76. The F76 brought the crazy in a big way, which was fun, but there's so much volume on tap that it was a bit difficult to dial the volume knob to unity. Definitely liked the nasty octave, spitty tones, and the mid scoop/boost option was nice as well. The Agent 13 was more straight-forward and easier to get usable tones from.

The Stutterbox has a cool set of features, but is overkill for my trem-type needs.

Thanks for the opportunity, SGFX crew!

Just got Tourbox 2 in last night.



First impressions-

Zeta Drive- Solid overdrive, couldn't find a bad sound in it. Really straight forward.
Surf Rider Deluxe- Pretty awesome sounding spring reverb. Can do just a little bit of verb to a huge spring tank. The boost is subtle at first, but when you start really playing with it and hit it it becomes more evident.
If 6 Was 9- Really cool take on a fuzz face. That bias control is killer. Noon is around exact bias, left is underbiased, then right is over biased. A TON of sounds.
Apollo- KILLER PHASE TONES. The one I played with the longest last night in my short time before I went to bed. Random phasing? HUGE SWEEPS? I'm in!!

Well, looks like I'm stuck here at work until at least tomorrow night due to the pending snow. Going to record demos after I spend the night at work tonight

Since I'm in the market for a superfuzz/ibanez standard variant, how does the formula 76 compare to the SS/BS superpuzzle? I have been considering a Creepy Fingers Harakiri or a GS Wyllie fuzz.
