Whatcha got?

I keep going back and forth on selling my Spectre. The Knobs vid (of course) made me shell out for the preorder, but I've yet to be throughly wowed in person. Yes, it sounds pretty but it also sounds exactly like itself, overpowering rather than blending and morphing with the other bits and bobs of my signal path.

So, how are you using it? If it doesn't help me see the light, maybe someone will find a new sound they've been looking for.

Trade me your Spectre

there is a database of settings

also there is an internal res trimpot that makes the rez more or less rez-y

Does Spectre get metallic/clingy?

Yes, (I can't seem to get rid of it), but not as much as I'd like.

I'd've wished for a little bit more from the REGEN knob. (Although, I seem to remember it has an internal trimmer & I haven't messed with that.)

I just found this post though: viewtopic.php?f=149&t=43917&start=570#p1034877

It always more ..airy n smooth than any other flange

It's a pretty versatile flanger and can do a lot of things other flangers can't do. It's not always airy 'n' smooth, but I like the feedback control on flangers to be pretty extreme.

Maybe I have messed with the resonance trimmer. I can't really remember. May have to revisit that.

I do like flangers set to a really short delay time and really high resonance.

Steel drums rule!

You have an example of what you're shooting for?

I have mine set super slow, mid to high depth, mid to high resonance most of the time. I pretty much hate chorus—really the only time I like it (off the top of my head) is the Small Stone thing, more of a warbly sound. The Spectre does what I wish chorus did: kind of a lush, evolving wash without sounding too insta-80s. That said, this effect is also achieved pretty easily with slow phase or Univibe.

FWIW since I pretty much keep my Spectre on that sort of slow/sheeny setting most of the time, I haven't used the presets. The stock ones are nice... they just up the warble a bit more from my basic sound.

Blue or nurps?
