I'd agree, you can do the same thing with the trem block as well. High depth, random clipped LFO.

I'm not drunk officer I swear. I just have a case of the Lofi's.

I'm not a drummer, but I have a drum machine I can run through it. I may do that, if I do i'll link the video here.

SurfyVibe sounds good, but there is a slight volume drop on the phasey setting. This is primarily why the CTC is better. You can compensate, or boost volume. My top 3 favorite Magnatone style vibratos are Orgin Effects Magma 57, CTC Memphis and BTB Maggie. All of them are good though, including Magnavibe. I should probably do another shootout one of these days.

Haha, Transmisser is one of my favorites. I've got 2 of them. I dig this pedal, but is it something I couldn't live with out? Not really. Other delays now days can do similar things. LVX can do this type of stuff. I think it was pretty unique to its time. I had the same attitude towards it as well, sat on the fence for years till there was a lul in interesting things to try, then picked it up.

@@TriPedalReviews so you know exactly what I mean! GMTA…!

Thanks, I've never been a huge fan of the Spring Algorithm in the Big Sky (either version). I like the convolution ones better on the MX. For clean playing I'd be pretty satisfied with the convolution options, but for dirty overdrive spring it doesn't cut it. The Trashy preset here is pretty good, but still doesn't really compare to the legit tanks I've got. It was the only preset in the Big Sky on spring that I liked, and if you know how much I love spring verb, you'd find that surprising as it's my favorite verb type. Side note, checked out your CZcams channel, great tone and playing! Subscribed.

@@TriPedalReviews I'll try it for sure. Because for now I'd rather use the spring of the Volante... Thanks appreciate. Big fan of your channel since a long time !

I'd say that's probably a question for TC. I see nothing mentioned in their marketing material that it's analog dry through, nor in their manual, which typically means it isn't.

@@TriPedalReviews Someone over on TGP posted a screenshot of their Instagram account where TC replied "Yes, it's analog dry thu" to someone asking. I bet the intern running their social media doesn't know the distinction between ADT and True Bypass.

@@fr201 Agreed.

Just curious, what was your last phaser?

@@TriPedalReviews Phase 100 reissue.

@@solomonsanchez1897 OoOo. Yea, it sucks. I know because I have one :) I bought the older script logo version and it's a night and day difference between the sound. The newer one just sounds like a blanket covering everything. One day i should do a comparison video between the old/new.

I didn't make that one, so not sure specifically how it was made. I'll take a look tomorrow and see what I can tell ya. Editor should be out soon, so hopefully we can get all these uploaded to the cloud.

For Tremolo, there is a dedicated Tremolo block you need to engage. This also controls the Depth of the Trem, so set that there. In the LFO block, you'd set your shape and the speed of the LFO. Then in the control section in the editor you just set the switches/knobs to control whatever you want. The Haunted reverb patch just has reverb going on, then engages/disengages the tremolo block with the footswitch. That gives you the option of not having trem, or having trem along with the reverb.

@@TriPedalReviews I'm so grateful for this info! Thank you, thank you:)

@@michaelhamm2271 No problem, whenever the editor is out I'll be doing a deep dive of it.

As mentioned in the video, all Monument versions have crap expression control functionality, they all suffer the same issue and they just never fix it, the range of speed available is too wide, and thus you can't really get a smooth sweep in a usable range (I've demod every version of this pedal and included testing out the expression control on all 3). As you say, its usually real slow then real fast. Harmonic trem is pretty good, but i still prefer others to it. Very similar to the V2 harmonic trem of this pedal, which I've done a bunch of shootouts with. This one is still in the middle for me. It's not great, it's not bad. I do like the ramping features and the stereo of this new version. Being able to mix standard & harmonic is also nice. But a similar pedal I'd choose over this is the Flower Pedals Sunflower Deluxe.

Thanks

Unfortunately I don't believe that is a thing. In the original editor you can click on the section in the editor with the tape heads and it brings up a selection menu of sub-divisions. In the NDD-7 editor if you do that it does nothing and there is no selection I can see that would be related.

@@TriPedalReviews thanks for checking. Yes i thought that was the case. Such a shame as its meant to be an upgrade from the Tape Core Deluxe and is in every other way! Cheers Clay

No

You can overwrite all preset slots with whatever you want. You can move through presets with the footswitches.

Created during the past several months of Beta testing. SA doesn't have Neuro Desktop support for this pedal yet. They are working on it currently. When there is support for the pedal in the app, I'll upload any presets I've created and demo'd here to the cloud.

@@TriPedalReviews I can dig it, started thinking I was crazy. Spent half my day in trial and error trying to get it to show up in Neuro

@@johnz6808 Yea, I'd hoped it would be out by now as I'm jonesin to do a deep dive of the editor. They are working hard to make it happen. I'll try and be patient :)

Lofi aesthetic aside, this is a box of utility effects. Compression, Chorus, EQ, Boost, Overdrive, Fuzz, Flanger, Delay, Reverb, Filter etc... All of which are useful for all sorts of instruments, including Bass.

@@TriPedalReviews my problem with SA is that they keep replicating the same stuff, I already have those pedals with SA, so we're just supposed to buy them again because they put it in a new box?

​@@OlandoMcCallI'd say evaluate products based on your needs and pick em up if you want. No one is expecting you to buy it just cause. I'm not here to convince you one way or another. SA's a company who's products are primarily built on software/DSP. They have a very kitchen sink approach in that they include every element they possibly can into their pedals with the processing power they've got at the time. Yes, they re-use some code between products (that's just smart, why wouldn't you?) But they also improve upon effects per release as well, they aren't just carbon copies of the same effect and functionality all the time. Ultrawave for example is one of the best Tremolo's out there, and beats the the Vertigo, which is a dedicated trem pedal by SA. Ultrawave is capable of far more unique and interesting trem effects, and it isn't even primarily a tremolo pedal. Benefits to having the same effects achievable in different products, means if you are running more than one SA pedal, then you can have different effects going at multiple points in your signal chain. In addition, each of the pedals can also have their own signal chain of internal effects, so you can combine those in unique ways as well that you otherwise wouldn't be able to with individual parts that don't interact with each other in the same way standalone. This is a pedal dedicated to lofi with the ability to use it as utility for many other effects that may be more practical and get more use. The individual parts are most certainly useful to the majority of players. It's the most flexible lofi centric pedal I can think of that isn't completely fully modular (and thus harder to work with), and it also has a lot of utility with practical effects that one could use for more traditional sounds. You should consider the control aspect of each product as well. Small UI changes can yield large results. This particular pedal has multiple LFO's as well as simultaneous envelope control in any direction of up to 18 different parameters. If it doesn't strike your fancy, find something that does.

As a standard trem with selectable wave shapes I think it's great. As I demo'd, you can set up different speeds with the switch and set your knobs to whatever you want them to do really. I find that really useful. It doesn't have harmonic trem or a bunch of panning options. If you don't need those things, and just need standard trem, then it's great.

There are a lot of good ones. Some very advanced and some very simple. Walrus falls kinda in the middle between simple and complex. There are a lot of Stereo Trem's I think sound great. Some others that I like you can check out. Sunflower Deluxe. Fulltone SupaTrem 2, Effectrode DeltaTrem, Source Audio Ultrawave. All of those I've done videos on. My SupaTrem video sucked so I wouldn't listen to that one as that was back when I was first doing demos. But the rest are pretty solid. Other good ones, Surfy Trem Deluxe or Red Mountain. I think what UI, Complexity and features you want should play a part in which ones you consider.

I can check, are we just talking a volume swell based on pick attack on the dry signal? If you've got a sample I can take a look at doing it.
