TC Electronics T2: Fuuuuuuuucccckkkkkk

[Iommic Pope]

I've found E2 can be ok if you dial the mix down and don't have the fucking helicopter sound trailing on forever, but yeah man, E1 for lyfe!

I use the Church/cathedral one a bit too.

But that P2 or P3 preset on this new one make that E2 totally redundant...well, more so.
Wanna hear P4. Infinite cathedral.
Sounds like fucking Space Satan could be summoned from the intergalactic void.

H9 I don't trust in that what happens when it's not accessible via PC, and for the price Eventide wants and the ala-carte model...I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger.

The thing that kills me with the TC stuff is adding more than that one memory slot would take very little extra engineering or cost - or making it so you could overwrite any of the factory stuff with your own tweaks.

The tech has been available in a smaller package for a long time, we're not in an era of MIPS and Z80s in racks any more with daughterboards. It's just that the manufacturers decided to chase the wierd sound market again as Blues Lawyers aren't a dominant future market force any more.

Digitech could combine two albatrosses in one: Vortex and Space Station in one Whammy-style enclosure. I'd buy it.

See... I think they've written off the past...

It's hard for Audio Companies to look back and resurrect and update a past winner cause they're too busy looking for "Next" for NAMM...

I would fucking buy that in a heartbeat.

How did the first Trinity react to having fuzzes in front of it?

Just planning out my board

[Iommic Pope]

It likes them very much, sir.

[UglyCasanova]

Oh fudge. I meant fuzz after it


Thanks though!

[Iommic Pope]

Dunno.
But I should find out.

Sorry dude.

it works well! i have a ton of fuzz before it... I have fuzz after it too although you need to dial the mix way back unless you just want total noise (at least with the E1 where i tend to have a long decay)

I'm still amazed Digitech hasn't exploited owning Lexicon more (or that Alesis hasn't pulled some of their routines from cryosleep and made a Quadraverb/Midiverb pedal).

There's a 'Lexicon' reverb available for the iStomp, although it's probably not very widely used.

[rfurtkamp]

Yea. the iStomp was a debacle - iOS only devices cut out, well, anyone without an iThing.

And for a standalone pedal, that was an insane choice.

[Gone Fission]

It's really a shame on the iStomp. The algorithms generally sound pretty damn good, even the dirt. But there isn't a deep level of control and it's an ass pain to switch the sounds in any practical manner since you need to wire in your device. Even though I finally got an iPad, I would definitely prefer platform agnostic patch exchange--I've had enough issues with stranded Windows music software through OS versions that I'm really touchy about maintaining tomorrow's legacy product. Which is now the iStomp, but good deal when the $40/three for $99 sales crop up.

[rfurtkamp]

Yea, it's also why I spend a little more on the higher-end devices when possible if they have the reasonable ability to be run in and of themselves - the Fender Mustang amps are nice little cheapies, but I couldn't ever buy one without the LCD for future-proofing unless I considered it fully disposable, etc.

The only stuff that's outside that rule are outright computer peripherals (audio interfaces, etc.).

Also why I still run hardware effects even though I can't really physically leave the house without great effort - I know they'll still function in 5 years.
