Holidaze '24

Post by echorec »

:hello: Season's greetings. I'm not sure how many updates I can do this year, as I'm not spending a lot of time at my desk these days, but here's a few early picks.

Select BOSS delays are heavily discounted.

Ex: The DM-101 is $299 (regularly $499) / approx 399€ across the Atlantic with import fees, and the 202 is $80 off. According to their product pages on Sweetwater, this discount is effective for the remainder of 2024. Also, the SD-3000D is a robust 50% off. :idk:

Some Pigtronix pedals like the Cosmosis (morphing reverb), Gloamer (attack decay), and Star Eater (fuzz) are also slated to be on sale through the end of the year.

...I'm not sure how many people have sampled the DM-101 due to its $500 tag. I played one a few months ago, and I liked it, but I didn't $500 like it. If you're going to pair one with an external ramper or sequencer, I could see it being a nice substitute for a Tonal Recall or a DMM. Depending on December funds, I'd be tempted to get a pair of 101s to run in sequence. The Cosmosis is another pedal I've been monitoring, but was waiting on a sale. It's somewhat challenging to do anything new in the reverb field, but I thought this one had some intriguing possibilities in the demos I browsed.

Even at $300, where’s my SNES holocaust?

Korg Drumlogue at the Korg Outlet on Reeeeeeverb is $290 shipped, but they will offer you $266 b4 taxes if you follow the listing. In that case, you also can counter, probably for a few dollars less? I can't remember how this worked for me before.

Anyway, I was only interested when I found this video of a drumlogue being programmed past the point of nearly no DSP return :!!!:

Basically installing super-Dexe'd programs, WAV parties, etc., I don't have a computer for that kinda thing, etc., but it's all in good fun :hobbes:
Good morning!

Wow. Yeah, that puts it on the radar. The logue plugin architecture really opens up the boxes that have it. Here it makes it more than “just a drum machine” and would keep it in play when another bigger money/more serious device comes along.

Not much info about the delays on his site.

What is the story/sound/functionality of the Quickstep Momentary Delay?

Delay time? What type of circuit is it?

Fender’s Amazon store has the Shields Bender Fuzz for $216.40 and there’s an additional 15%-off coupon on the page that you can apply—so $183.94 plus tax.

That’s really pulling. Any long-term verdicts on this pedal?

Fender's got their BF sale up. https://www.fender.com/en-US/black-friday-sale/
Lot's of Squire Paranormal series in the doorbusters. If you've got the Fender Play 10% discount, that'll stack with the sale discounts.

That Sherwood Green JM XII with matching headstock beckons. Dubkitty has been looking at the Paranormal Esquire, too, and the sparkly one is one of the doorbusters.

Today only, Warm Audio Jet Phaser half-off at $99 https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190

Don't know what the word is on that one as a tribute to the old Roland (or the Roland for that matter). But in case it's worthy, it's there.
