Sunday GAS Party (secret santees.....be stalked here)

Well, I want it, but I can't really afford it.

If you do manage to grab it for anything less than $700, I'd find a way to pay for it.

I want a trem that has:

- the choppiest of square waves
- 'lush' sine
- random

nice but not necessary features:

- duty/waveshape control
- tap/sync/expression
- inexpensive

The Semaphore has all this but unfortunately it doesn't chop enough, the shape knob needs detents, and it's ugly. The RRevenge does a great square and sine but I really want random too. What do

Have you looked into the Starla?

I'm leery of the Starla because its controls are virtually identical to the Semaphore - makes me suspect it's a clone of a pedal I've already tried. I'll have to check videos.

Yeah, I was trying hard to choose between the two and went with the semaphore. Really happy with its feature set and functionality, and think it sounds great as far as that's possible. The Starla does make a point of promoting how choppy it can get. Good luck.

Yeah, I think Starla does the same grounding trick the Zvex tremolo does to get that super chop. So I doubt it's a very close copy of the semaphore. Having the exact same waveforms is suspicious, though...

My other complaints about the Semaphore are trivial; if the Starla is the same pedal with more chop, it might be exactly what I'm looking for.

Or I could just jump on the next Goatkeeper run. :picard:

The Goatkeeper is awesome, though I don't like the random on it that much to be honest, the full off and full on steps are also included, which makes it get out of the groove sometimes in my opinion.
Have you tried the Copilot FX Polypus?

I want more Dirge.

I kinda want a grandpa's guitars. Problem is the main one I've played in the recent past is my dad's martin d45 and I definitely can't afford anything as nice as that so it might be disappointing...

The Goatkeeper is total overkill for me, I don't really want to go that far. But GAS knows no bounds.

I have not tried the Polypus. Looks pretty good except I'm unsure of it's choppittude and I don't see a fully random waveform?

Tristan · Post by **Tristan** » Tue May 06, 2014 5:28 pm

Yeah, I'm not sure about it having a random waveform but I think it does (see the setting with the different rectangles), I'm not sure about the chop either but knowing it's from Copilot FX I'd think that probably should be covered.
I hope someone with actual hands-on experience can chime in.

Casavettes had one for ages. The random is pseudo random I think. It's cyclic, I dunno like a 16 step cycle? Remember reading something...

Tristan · Post by **Tristan** » Wed May 07, 2014 3:06 pm

If so than that's even cooler than random if you ask me, I'm pretty sure it's similar to the waveforms in the Broadcast if that helps anything.
