The Digital Pedal Revolution...for me

[Jwar]

I like digital. I think it's the future still but whatever floats your boat.

I remember buying a Fabtone in the 90's for 60 bucks...who the hell was paying that much for shit back then??? lol

[friendship]

In my experience how the sound is arrived at has so little to do with whether or not I'll like it that, while it's fun to learn how my stuff works, it's basically irrelevant to me.

To answer your question I have all kinds of digital shit and analog shit. "Purism" is for bedwetters.

Yea, I still have mine. Glorious, mean pile of hell. Paid $39 on sale at GC the week they came out, it bumped the HM2 off my board.

The people buying the overpriced EHX shit were the same ones who janked the Space Echo prices up from $100 a pop to $400+ in Chicago overnight thanks to Billy Fucking Corgan.

Well...I have a more open mind toward any piece of gear these days. Literally anything (digital, analog, acoustic) can become a tool that I'm unable to use to a frustrating degree. Why discriminate?

Back in the day, I had this delusion that I was going to be good someday, and didn't want that one digital pedal to prevent that meteoric rise because it was obscuring the subtle details and nuances of my playing. LOL.

I'm hysterical.

digital is the truth, bruh. until the E.M.P.s hit then they're TOAST!!!!!!~~~ someone needs to drop a fucking quantum processor in one of these boxes and give us ULTIMATE CONTROL like a dd-500 on acid. draw your own waveform, choose as many lfos as you want, as slow or fast as you'd like, split the signal into 2 or 10 and assign different eq/filters to certain sections, spectrograph editor (you have to menu dive DEEP for this) so we can draw faces in our delay patterns aphex twin style, built in skype etc. the future will be tight

haha I think we all go through that kind of magical thinking mode at some point. Some stay in it.

I even stopped caring about distortion being analog when I heard NIN and then (much more gear-awarely) Jesu for the first time

i think it's just cork-sniffery at this point. Or you don't really enjoy progress

[D.o.S.]

It's pronounced "dick-measuring" in 'Merican.

[Chankgeez]

Or you don't really enjoy progress

Not if you don't consider it "progress".

Clicked on this thread bc i thought it said "the Digitech Revolution" and was super pumped to talk about Timebenders and PDS's and XPs, the bass whammy, the supernatural, and so many lovely other pedlols. The revitalized DOD pedals. Whoops.

A dog can dream, right?

I do this all day long with Ableton and MAX.
