Rainbow Machine settings
How are you using your Rainbow Machine?
Trying to figure this thing out. There's just so much happening.
I settled into a wonky slapback, for now.

Hey! Let's talk about serious thing. We're gonna talk about guitar, dude.

Re: Rainbow Machine settings
I've been using it for some subtle follow/ambience. I think I have Pitch at noon. Mess around with the amount of Primary and Secondary. Been dialing back the secondary a bit. Magic and tracking at max and again, adjust tone to suit. I love it before a wash of delay as it adds some nice weirdness..

Re: Rainbow Machine settings
Yeah, it can.
For octave uppy kinda stuff, I like it either just past noon, around 3:00 or just fully CW.

I generally prefer my Tracking all the way counter-clockwise.

Re: Rainbow Machine settings
Oh, I suppose I should clarify, don't want my earlier statement to mislead anyone.
The Rainbow Machine only does a third up, not all the way up to the octave. So, weird third up hazy things.

Re: Rainbow Machine settings
I mainly gravitate to the recommended settings. I keep finding neato sounds in it, but when I come back from eating burritos, it usually sounds worse than I remember. Rather, I can't remember what I was playing to make the setting work.

Pitch at noon and tracking at fully cw. Magic dime'd.
Pitch fully cw and tracking at 10' o'clock. Magic dime'd.

Re: Rainbow Machine settings
Out of curiosity--do you rainbow machine owners run it before or after delay? or inbetween? I'm thinking about getting one of these...

Re: Rainbow Machine settings
I don't have a pedalboard. So, I move it around. Sometimes before delay, sometimes after. It sounds great either way.

In between
After my deluxe pitch pirate but before my boss rv3.
But like chank said, it sounds good anywhere I've put it really

Re: Rainbow Machine settings
Nice. Hasn't left my board. The chorus effect is great and the lag is fun. Figuring it out is fun.
