What's the new hotness? It's been a long time!

Post by heartben »

Hello everyone. I used to post here all the time years ago! I have been severely out of the loop and am curious - what is the new hotness. What are people all about lately? New can really be anything from the past several years. I would like to pick up a new (to me) pedal sometime soon and would appreciate suggestions!

Just realized I joined ILF 10 years ago. What the fuck happened to the time between then and now?..

Oh shit! Welcome back!! :!!!:

I think most people have gone modular by now? Multi pedals are cool again. Behringer started cloning synths (and are doing a good job of it).

EHX released all the muffs in nano format.
Boss released classic ones with some kanji logo.
Some companies found out that releasing limited/special edition of their pedals is good for marketing, that Klon guy was right after all.
Used strymon pedals are still expensive.
Digital is now cool.

Hey! Great to hear from you again. Are you still painting?
The last new hotness was glitch pedals. But maybe that bubble has popped? Check out the Red Panda Tensor or the Dwarfcraft Grazer if you want to keep it local.

Welcome back! You are in luck! We recently just went through this. viewtopic.php?f=149&t=62888
It's like a really bad 'clip show episode' on sitcom nobody watched and nobody asked for to be recapped.
If I could sum up the 'tone' in one sentence, it would be like when someone who is really into Adventure Time starts explaining all the backstories and themes to you... when you haven't seen the show and have no intention to :lol:
"SWIPE LEFT ASSHOLE!" -retinal orbita
"Whatever ASSHOLE here’s my pedal that makes humpback whale noises and also it has a built in sequencer so stick it in your craw! -retinal orbita
"Patty Mullen takes me from a ball peen to a sledge" -The Great Velvet Hammer
"...at this exact moment Divine has learned of your jealous scheme from the local town gossip. She also has your address, ASS HOLE!" -Narrator (Mr. J) PINK FLAMINGOS
