Yes they were both panned hard left and right

I do! I’ve stacked up a pretty mean back log of drives I’m going to make videos on

@@KenyonReed2 Sweet! I snatched one up on their most recent drop and I’m loving it. A different tonal character than I’ve ever played before. It has this kind of spitiness that I’m really digging.

The output is necessary primarily to send my signal over XLR (or cat5 in this case) to amps that are a long distance away in another room. That being said, the output box does still have a positive impact on my tone. But the Bigsky output buffer is definitely a net neutral tone. It would suffice if you’re mostly just going quarter inch out.

I didn’t find the pedal itself noisy. Any Compressor is going to raise the noise floor. So if you are in an environment that makes your guitar buzz, it will heighten that since it’s a Compressor. And I didn’t find it to darken my tone, if anything it added a bit of top end richness. But it does have a bigger low end to it which could make it feel a bit warmer in some cases

@ Great, thank you so much 😊

Honestly same

looks like a Veritas portlander

There’s some commands in there controller that you can program to change BPM by either a specific BPM or also nudge it +1 or -1. I have a page devoted to this. I’m considering making some material in the future the breaks that down

@@KenyonReed2Thanks so much for this! I setup a page on my mastermind 10x just like yours. Appreciate yours and the Tone Factor content! Don’t know if you remember but we met in Birmingham, AL on Bethel’s previous tour

It does! This was something I didn’t realize when I first messed with the pedal. Which this approach is true to vintage spec. The preamp is always in your chain. So I personally opted for putting it in my RJM as a stereo pedal, last in the chain. So that way I can take it out of my signal path if I want to. While it’s kind of cool that it almost acts as an attenuator to your signal at that point on your board, I didn’t love that I didn’t fully have control over it. And it acts as a bit of a choke point if you turn on a loud drive and boost. They slam in to that preamp

Appreciate the response! I’m still very interested in one of these even with those potential drawbacks - I’ve been on a digital effects binge this past season and want to find a good analog chorus that can balance the BBD goodness with clarity and articulation! Appreciate your ministries too - our church has been blessed by the work you and Dave have done over the years!

I’m playing on two amps. A JMI 30/6 and a Fender Hotrod White Lightning. The reverb and delay are Meris Mercury X and LVX

@@KenyonReed2 excellent tone you get!

Batch 2 has slowly been in the works for a couple months! I’ve been recently spending even more time on it, mostly also trying to find the theme of what I’m going for. Batch 2 LVX is focusing heavily on making analog BBD delays. And they’re turning out so good. Batch 2 Mercury X is focusing so far on verbs that are using certain modifiers that draw out resonant frequencies in the decay of the reverb. Also turning out amazing

Oh man!! I’m excited bro!

@@candacesmusic yes!

Although it’s cheap, it does sound decent. But the biggest thing for me is the Bigsky Mx sounds a bit flat in comparison to the complexity and intrigue of the Mercury X. But the Bigsky is easy to accomplish really good sounding basic verbs. Even if it is a bit flat in comparison, it does sound good for what it does. So do with that what you will haha

Part two is in the tone course! When we dial our entire pedalboards from scratch

I’ve had no issue with noise! Of course there is the possibility of turning up the gain and limiter and it will generally be “compressing” your signal and heighten the noise floor naturally. But it itself isn’t noisy for me.

What I’ve loved is two specific things. The dynamic punch is pretty incredible. When you dig in, it punches back. And when it’s mixed in the end by a good engineer, they can draw out more top end content since it’s not super fizzy and textured at all times.

@ Awesome. Sounds so good.

His name is David Puleo!

All flat at the moment. The places it EQs on its own is just so nice.

@ good to know I just got a super sweet not sure I like it yet but we shall see after I play all 4 Christmas services tomorrow

Man that’s tough. Lot of great options there. I do imagine the others offer some unique qualities. I was a bit put off by the H90’s complex UI. And while the Meris is a little complex, once you get the layout, it’s incredibly simple. That being said, I think the Meris pedals together can accomplish almost anything with all their modifiers and some creativity. But there’s no wrong answer with those choices of gear

@ right, I’ve done some tinkering and found some really inspiring sounds. I’ve gotten used to the H90’s ui, although it’s still not my favorite. I think I’m gonna mess around with this for a while and then inevitably swap to the Meris pedals. They just seem like perfect canvases for someone who enjoys tinkering with sounds, which I definitely do.

@ I’m glad you managed to get comfy enough with the H90 UI, it seems like a rad pedal. Yeah I’m sure you’ll love using the Meris Pedals

I don’t have any immediate plans to get one, but I’m also not opposed! I love the GFI algorithms and sounds they craft.

From what I remember, it is a modern recreation of the vintage Schaffer Vega tower that AC/DC was famous for using

Yes sir!! **Starts dancing like a monkey**

Thanks! I feel like it has a bit more touch sensitivity since it’s seems to have a bit more headroom and volume on tap

I use 64 Audio in-ears! The 18 T’s Which is out of a lot of folks price range, but well worth it. If that’s not something you can swing, secondarily I’d suggest the 4’s. I’ve been told they have a very similar neutral audio profile like the 18T’s

😂

I was using a JMI 30/6 on the left and a Blankenship TwinPlex through a Supro cab on the right

Glad you’re liking them!! Yeah it has to do with the glide function in the global of the LVX, I believe. A good start could be to disable this and see if it solves the problem. Basically that function is just meant to give you the ability to make the cool warp sounds when turning the time knob on your delay when it trails off if you’re in to that kind of thing. But i’m assuming you probably don’t commonly do that since you have it set up to work with your RJM BPM.

@@KenyonReed2awesome! Thank you!!!

Yes it can! Basically you set it to expression pedal in the expression options instead of the hold. I ran in to a funny issue, that may have just been my set up, where it wouldn’t glide all the way up but would stop right beneath the final full octave up. That’s why I opted for the button with this effect specifically since it needs to be accurate. Plus, also the button is universally friendly from a selling preset standpoint since everyone has that but not everyone has an expression pedal.

I am selling these Strymon presets used for the song on Tonefactor.co yes! The only other thing that was layered on this was a modulated ping pong delay from a Meris Polymoon

Check out my demo on the Storm! That’ll give you a ton of possibilities

It does actually! I only discovered that after making a video on the storm a while back. Lately I’ve left it maxed out internally giving more gain that’s available on the top side

@KenyonReed2 ill check it out then!! What does the trim pot look like?

The Stroman pedals definitely do have a really smooth tone to them

They aren’t based on the same thing and the SVDS doesn’t have a limiter and it’s substantially more aggressive

​@KenyonReed2 thanks I may give it a try after the holiday!

Where did you order it from? The SoloDallas page shows a 404 error for the SVDS page, and the SoloDallas home page says the SVDS is "coming soon".

@ I ordered direct from the SoloDallas page like a week ago or so. I also went back onto the page to read up and got the same error code. So idk if I was supposed to get it or not haha

Lindy Fralin Modern PAFs!

@@KenyonReed2thanks man!
