I’ve bought and sold two - it’s great, really, but I just don’t have that much use for all those bells and whistles when I hardly ever phase....

Yeah. I would take just the pad mode phaser in a stand alone. That’s what I miss about it most.

Same man. I stopped playing guitar when I was 19 I think and didn't pick one up again until like last year I think. Then I actually started to play for the first time in my life. In my mind I guess. Totally feel this though.

Digitakt.

I got one, loved it. Then I hit a wall, it just felt a bit meh and it gathered dust for a while. Traded it for a Digitone. Love the Digitone, started to go real deep with the Elektron workflow and sequencer, which made me get a serious hankering for a Digitakt again. Picked one up again recently, and it makes more sense now than it did the first time around. Definitely back on board.

The "Elektron workflow" it's actually a thing

Also, Boss RV-3.
Which I bought yesterday. YOLO.

This is such a great episode, and I definitely thought about gear when I watched that cup part!

Boss DD-6.
The first pedal I ever owned (after the TU-2).
Bought it after hearing a local indie band use what I thought was the warp mode in one of their song passages. It was the coolest thing I'd ever heard in my life. I needed that sound. Turns out later it had nothing to do with the DD-6's warp mode. It was in fact a DD-3 self-oscillating. But anyways, after saving up I got a DD-6 from the local music shop. I never understood how to do the thing that guy on stage had done but ended up mostly using the hold mode a ton for super short loops (obviously). Had it for like a year pr two until I found out about and could afford a DL-4. Shortly sold the DD-6 after that cause I just felt it was boring and didn't sound as good as the DL-4. 7-ish years later I came across a used one for a fourth of the price I originally paid for my first one. I thought "why not?" and grabbed it. Now it's on my board and has been most of the time ever since. It doesn't get used A LOT, but works perfectly for the small specific things I want it to do. Also, even though I now deffo know how to, I'm still not using it for oscillation and I've never owned a DD-3.

I've recently found use for my Micrkorg which, along with my Tenori-On, I've been trying to sell on and off for years.

Tomorrow I'm going to use both at once to see what happens

idiot box effects pedal of the month offerings. I had a few that came in last year that I thought were shit but have fallen in love with just about all of them except for the vibrato which to me is the slow relative of the tremolo.

Tbh, fuzz in general. I know! Blasphemy! But I'm always in a constant war between note definition and absolute fucking chaos. I've just settled for having one clearer od and a fuzz and calling it a day.

I always love fuzz but I've definitely experienced this with specific fuzzes.

It's amazing what this can do for someone. Or Re-reading it (if you like to read manuals before you buy).

I sincerely hope this is the first post someone sees on their first visit here.
"Hey let me check out ILF. Those guys have great tips! Alright!"
Reads -> READ THE MANUAL

If I have to read a 50 page manual to mess with a pedal, I'm not a happy camper. I'm looking at you Eventide. lol

Haha yeah agreed. Happy to do that with other things even other music gear like synths but a pedal nuh-uh
