from 736 reviewsThis is my first filter pedal, and certainly fills a void that no other pedal in my collection covers. I love how it can take your signal, suck it through a sonic black hole until it all but disappears, then spit it back out with whatever ferocity you dial in. This is one of those pedals where I like to feed it a loop and then play the pedal. Equally fun and usable on synths or guitar, and the stereo spread sounds divine. You can go from glitchy lo-fi to a John Carpenter soundtrack with ease, what's not to love?
On the reverb side you've got a no-nonsense 3 knob plate verb. It doesn't need any fancy tricks or oddly named knobs because it's busy sounding absolutely fantastic. In stereo it's H U G E. Much like the Polyphrase, there's no bad settings.
The vibrato is the secret sauce that makes this pedal truly unique. I've never been much of a vibrato person until now, they always sounded too gimmicky. This one is natural and subtle, I'm a convert. Push a drive into the vibrato side and you're in T. Rex territory. The 'verb and vibrato together is a match made in heaven (or maybe Las Vegas). Flipping which side feeds the other completely changes the character. For a 5 knob pedal there's a ton of versatility crammed in.
This is the stereo ping pong delay I've been waiting for my whole life. You get an insane 22 seconds of digital delay, but somehow it sounds as warm and natural as my Analogman delay. The knobs are what you'd expect on a delay, and they interact well. There isn't a bad setting. The sliders can create some really fun stereo warbles and a wide spread. And in mono mode, you can use the extra in/outs as an effects loop. Stick a flanger or envelope filter in there and go crazy.
The saturation side covers A LOT of ground. The sliders with the db selectors are a tone sculpting machine. The detune can do a lush chorus right up to some Captain Beefheart weirdness. Saturate + Detune is post-punk goodness (PiL, Siouxsie, Cure) or instant Come as You Are, take your pick. I have it at the end of a wet/dry/wet board and the saturation glues the two wet amps together while the chorus provides just enough fluidity even when barely on to make you miss it when you turn it off.
The Endless Sleeper V2 is basically what you buy when you want to fall down a rabbit hole of sound. Under the hood you’ve got two totally independent delay engines (30ms up to 1500ms each) that cascade into each other — flip on that little “<<<” knob and Delay II’s repeats get fed right back into Delay I’s input, which is where things go properly endless. Each side has its own Mix, Delay Time, Glide, and Feedback, plus a Mod Rate and a Sine/Square/Random switch, so you’re not stuck with one modulation shape — you can have one delay doing a slow wow-and-flutter wobble while the other spins off into faster, choppier chorus territory. It's really a blast!
I have been wanting this to enable mixing between effects and multiple out audio sources, but have been reluctant to buy one directly from the manufacturer due to issues shipping to the US and paying tariffs, etc. I was happy to see Sound Shoppe carry these and jumped right away to order. I have been very happy with the performance of this device. There is no noise or static in turning the pots. I have already found some interesting effects made possible by the parallel processing and feeding audio back into the effect pedals. Very happy with my purchase and I can see this being a key part of my set up for a long time.
I've been using a Montreal Assembly Count to 5 for my glitchy ambient music but was getting tired of it and wanted something new. Randomly stumbled upon the Running for 78 and instantly fell in love! The IR sensor is super fun to play with and you can do some pretty crazy stuff when you pair it with delays/reverbs. You have a lot of precise control over different parameters but it honestly sounds great with everything dimed, which is how I run it.
As a fan and previous owner of When The Sun Explodes, I was hopeful that Exploder would cover the dirt of that pedal and more. It does. The EQ band on Exploder is super helpful, and the same core tones with clipping are on this pedal. It's very versatile, and can also get incredibly destructive. It sounds great to me post-reverb. I agree with a previous reviewer that the white noise feature is not something I can find a way to easily incorporate into actual song, so I could have done without that.
This thing is a wild beast but it’s completely tameable . It can be totally blown out but also super focused like the worlds noisiest laser beam. The pedal is super tweak-able, so you can really dial in exactly what you’re looking for. Sounds so good going into some reverb.
When I first got the pedal , I truly wasn’t sure how to use it practically. But with some time spent exploring all of the “in between” combinations of settings, I found so many super amazing sounds. It’s also worth experimenting with where you place this in your chain. For example, reverb before it is pretty amazing…..
Orbitz makes it easy to dial in a standing granular texture, or more complex and dynamic ambience textures. It's also possible to scan through an audio sample and switch between different locations using an expression pedal, while bypassing the pedal to create a second layer.
There’s a lot you can do with this pedal to manipulate the sound. All sorts of shot. Loads of fun, be prepared to be twisting a lot of knobs.
Having long sought after pedals that David Gilmour used and ones that emulate the gear he used on the classic 70's Floyd albums, I can truly say that this one lives up to the claims and the price tag. The preamp gets you there instantly. The rotary sounds are great as well, but just adding a little overdrive, delay and when needed chorus or Electric Mistress nails the sounds of Wish You Were Here, Animals and especially The Wall. Enough said..
With 3-band eq and Sym Asym and no diodes, it's a great workhorse. Add envelope controlled white noise and you have quite a range to explore.
I really enjoy being a customer; these guys are great. The pedal is very versatile and cool to experiment with. It plays well with every pairing I've given it so far.
