Your picture isn't going to show up when I quote this and that disappoints me. Your board is awesome.

My latest board:

Just got the Hyperion today and... I don't like it. I haven't tried it with a band or at loud volumes yet... but it just sounds bad. Not like noisey textury awesome bad, but like just bad. Maybe it is a grower...

Is there a buffer before it? Devi fuzzes can react differently when around buffers. Just a thought, I was always back and forth with the hyperion whenever I had one.... sometimes it worked for me and others it didn't... never loved it 100% though.

FX90 is so good

so much awesome delay on this board

and I agree that devi fuzzes are a front of chain thing

Considering the rigs some people have on here more of us should probably have hearos velcroed to our boards

dude, I need em after yesterday
Played with a band, like trumpets and flutes and such
may be worse than a rock band

I know that feel, bro. Not with the Hyperion, but with other things.

+1 for corded DMM...
+1 for setting knob positions same as I do

Something like 50-70 (or more) repeats? #Winning

Betting I could have plug-n-play fun with your board and the rest of my rig.

I posted awhile back about taking pedals off my board (or shelves) at random and throwing together some smaller at home boards. Using this approach to get to know all my pedals a little better, easier for me to focus when I eliminate some options instead of standing there with two huge boards in front of me. This is what I've been messing with lately....




The Mobius is still there because there's so much good, gonna take forever to hear everything that pedal has to offer. Most everything else I've posted about before. Running the LaoWiz Multiplex pretty heavy lately after spending alot of time with the Disaster Transport SR. They're both incredible, can't choose which I prefer but they each do their own thing and together give a huge variety classic tape sounds/space echo/binson/echorec but with plenty of whachy shit thrown in, esp the tape speed momentary stop on the Multiplex.

The newest one here is the Arc Effects Crimson King and HOLY FUCK THIS FUZZ RULES! I've never tried a Burns Buzzaround clone until now but it's one of the coolest sounding vintage fuzzes I've ever heard. I've had quite a few old designs that have such limited range on the controls, just a tiny sweet spot and I usually get one, maybe two sounds I like if lucky. This thing is not like that. Each control has a HUGE range with almost all of it useable and they're all incredibly interactive. SO MUCH VARIETY HERE with only those three controls. Goes from a nice light grit to classic rock kinda crunch tones onto some of the heaviest fuzz I've heard out of a vintage circuit without shit getting all piercing or focused or weird. Just sounds massive, pummeling even but retains great clarity and punch, nice mids, low noise, and gain holds together perfectly, not too tight and not sloppy like a fuzz face.

Can't really compare it to much I've owned, has it's own sound for sure, maybe a little Tonebender-ish. When you push the sustain way up, you get the nasty side which is cool too, sounds starved with the balance down, really mean with a hint of velcro, almost sounds gated at most extreme settings. But dial gain back and it smoothes right out and goes back to bringing the heavies. The crunch and low gain are great too, nice and full and chunky and it's articulate no matter what gain setting you're at.

Oh, cleans up great with the volume knob too! I don't usually do that but I turned down messing with something else and came back to the Crimson King and I was loving it. Then I'm like, oh, my guitar's only on 5, I should turn up. I was loving the low gain sound on the volume knob too. And no worries about lack of a proper master volume knob. It's easily controlled with the Balance and tone knobs, plenty on tap and easy to reign it in.

Awesome ^
