Everyone was asking that I ship my Mobius to Excane to let him give you his thoughts on it but fuck you people. You have to deal with my thoughts.

Overall. The big word for it is SOLID. Let's take the Quadrature and Destroyer out of the equation. You're left with nothing groundbreaking. Just downright solid. Like the Timeline, it's dark, lush, and sounds analog. All of it. The parameters allow you to tweak pretty much everything. Yes, I can get nonwarbly stuff from the chorus. I mean, with all of these parameters and with the tap tempo, you can pretty much do anything. You could put them up against any straight up effect (taking out some of the CRAZY oddball guys) and each setting on the Mobius can go up head to head against that individual pedal and just sound awesome.

I do want to throw in here, I'm not the type of guy that stacks my mods. Those people might not find this guy as useful. I'll put dirt and fuzz with my mods, but for the most part, my mods stand alone.

So yes, it replaces a ton of stuff on my board. Now the big question for me is, will it do the expression stuff I was using the Tremolessence, Faye Sing, and Xero D for? I will be experimenting with this tonight and let you homecanoes, know. I really only made it through half of the presets before three out of five of the babies started crying. But I was able to get the general overall sound of the pedal and I can tell you that each mod holds up as lush, analog, and just downright beautiful.

Now......the Quadrature. That thing is cool and different. It's just a bunch of fun for me, nothing I could utilize, but if I did dub or electronica, this thing would be AWESOME. The Boss GT10B had some things that were similar to this, but it always sounded kinda cheesy where this sounds good.

The Destroyer. Holy ****. I would pay close to $300 for a pedal like this. Maybe there are pedals out there that can do these things.....but man....I've been looking for this for a LOOOOOONG time. I just...want to go into the studio so bad, now. The signal degradation....oooomph.....I just love it. I haven't gotten to mess with it a ton, like I said, three out of five were screaming. But this one mode is going to make so many local band CDs sound so much better.

So for me, I get an amazing setting in the Destroyer, and fun guy the Quad, I've added a lush flanger and chorus I didn't have on my board, the pattern trem, auto swell, and vibes are a'ight, but, most important, I think I've been able to bump my Tremolessence, Faye Sing, Expressionator, and future purchase Xero D off my board.....total savings of almost $300.

I can control the speed....like from long and slow to fast and warbly....but not the actual sweep. I contacted Strymon to see if it's hidden in the parameters somewhere. I'll post a response when I get one.
