So I bought those
!!!
I had my first rehearsal with the new pedalboard last night, it was awesome.
The ARP-87 is incredible. Perfect delay for my needs. I don't really like delays and never really knew how to use them. This one offers 4 delays type, and great sounding ones. And somehow it's super intuitive and I know what to do with this pedal AND delays. Super happy.
The Starla is phenomenal. I had the opportunity to choose between the Chase Bliss Gravitas, Stone Deaf Tremotron and this Dawner Prince Starla. The gravitas seemed clinical. And super expensive. Niet.
I always wanted to buy the Tremotron. But all this digital core and lights everywhere scared me.
And then a Starla popped up locally, for super cheap. I'm glad I bought it, I'm completly in love with it, all the waveshapes are insanly usable and good sounding. To me it is THE tremolo.
The Levitation, on the other hand, I don't really know. I was sold the first time I saw the demo of the V1 from Andy when he was still with PGS, you know, that super 60's sounding piece of song, with a Tele and a LP. It is exactly the kind of sound I like.
Anyway, I can't have those sounds right now. I am a bit disappointed. BUT I like it very much nonetheless and it adds some bright and space, perfect addition to the Surf Rider (this one is
).And here is the whole pedalboard (just a few pedals to go - fuzzes, vol, wah... - and I think I will be done) :
Very happy with it. Into a 1968 Princeton
excuse the shitty phone pics, my camera just died...
Did you know there was a planned obsolescence ? It's a Canon, EOS 400D. I used it with confidence for the last 11 years... 70.000 pics taken. And I just learned that it is programmed to die after 50.000 triggering.
I mean come on, seriously
