I think I need to stop watching Knobs demos as a financial principle. :cry:

Same, I watched the bit quest and black fountain demos and I went to look at which pedals I could sell.... I cannot bring myself to sell any of them. GAS is a cruel mistress.

Yeah, y'know, I just felt like that really wasn't what the Black Fountain was about.
I didn't do more with the organ because I felt like it was a fun bonus, but not the reason to buy this pedal.
I don't imagine many will be using the Black Fountain for the organ mode.

I would have set the mix heavier if I could re-record though....

I felt like the OBNE technical demo covered Organ Mode enough to get a feel for it:

if you're still looking for more on that mode.

Plus, slo-mo swimming hair/beard segments.

Maybe not your jam (or not enough reverb) but maybe check out the Instant Lo-fi Loop Junky?

had one. wasn't thrilled by it. i actually LOVED the vibrato on the actual LOOP JUNKY, but i thought the INSTANT sounded weak. even the Behringer vibrato is way better!

Yep, I've got a Behringer vibrato. Thinking about rehousing it and making the latch/unlatch a separate footswitch.. (there's also a mod to switch the rate to half but I don't think I need that since I'm using it on bass)

Yeeeeah, it's just not really so awesome at that.
I feel like you would be disappointed if that was your main draw.

In theory it's great, but there's a couple things:

1.) The organ sound is produced by a really short delay.
So, there's always a pause between when you hit the string and when the vibrato signal comes in.
The slower the rate, the longer the pause.
The more you mix in the vibrato, the more you feel that delay.
It was that feeling that I could never quite vibe with, not the sound.

2.) The reverb really is quite mild, and you have no control over it.

JUST MY OPINION THOUGH

All these delays with modulation on the repeats.. kinda makes me wish I had a simple delay with an effects loop for the repeats.

There was one setting you used in the video that I'd wished I'd stumbled on before letting mine go: the real short delay time with a bunch of repeats, more in the 1st half of the video. That, along with the note selection :thumb:
Great deals with lordgalvar, filipre, seten, DannDubblewe, PumpkinPieces, backwardsvoyager, DADGBD, jwar, JonnyAngle, dandolin, pd~, Dungus, dminner
