aww YAS :joy:

depending on how this baby works i'm gonna say that all these cheapo rocktron pedals are gonna be REAL fun to mod, and/or are steals as far as pricing goes. looks cheap but its all metal.

update: still need to fiddle with it, but its really musical and doesn't veer into that cheez metal OMGFLANGERTAEKOFF unless you have fuzz on (then it does it in spades) and is more of a classic chorus/flanger than a flange you'd expect from a company called Rocktron.

the Sea Machine is it's new bff

yeah the two consistant things i hear about rocktron pedals are like musical and mild.

and it sucks that they're built so... well/oddly because i'd LOVE to bend these things. maybe make the LFO more fun, because that has SO much potential

dang, this thing is really transparent, and apparently true bypass for like $50 bucks, and i'm pretty sure this series was around before all the big name brands started going true bypass.

looking through the rest of the range, there seems to be a lot of good demos for these, and i'm really surprised more people aren't snatching up the reaction series. particularly the octaver.

edit: also i got some really nifty vocal-y things out of it on my bass. :omg:

Hmmm this seems interesting. Have to try to find some bass clips.
