@mark12__arefdq Theres a frame in here that tells a completely different story if you freeze it

By request -- the small batch @chasebliss release, "Lost + Found". Somehow, this is my first Look Inside on a Chase Bliss pedal. At first blush, it's a digital pedal that's practically a Daisy... but the closer we look, the quality differences stand out.…

I 💜 the @kgr_harmony versions of @earthquakerdev pedals. I like to challenge @cosmodio.instruments. So when Cosmodio announced an enclosure modifying change to Plumes & Blumes... well. I had to try.…

A survey of a special kind of pedal: double mono. This is where one takes a mono pedal (single input, sonic field independent transformation) and puts two together in a box. Thanks for reading! What's your favorite double mono design?…

@stibenggg how did they get the lighting to look like that...

@kinotone pedals are not meek "me too" attempts at their problem space. We saw that with Ribbons, which competes directly and competently with a well-known pedal by a much bigger builder.…

The @digitechfx DOD Badder Monkey. It's 2004-2015 predecessor was underestimated, and went viral in 2023. It would have been reasonable for a reborn DOD to simply reissue the meme'd circuit. Maybe a little refresh for a more modern audience.…

It is unusual for more than one pedal to share a name. It is bad business. It's discourteous. And for creative pursuits, headlining your effort by duplication isn't starting on the right foot. But, occasionally, a name can be repurposed.…

@chibson_usa brings reliable levity to the guitar space which can otherwise afford to take itself less seriously. Then they periodically drop collaboration pedals that are simultaneously humor and serious.…

There's a lot of nostalgia in modern sound design. I say that a lot. But that's Lossy, by @chasebliss and @goodhertz . There's an extraordinary amount of high quality audio components here in the service of simulating lower quality audio artifacts.…

@fully09focused the consistency between posts is what separates amateurs from creators like this

The @earthquakerdev Pyramids is an icon as a digital stereo flanger. By request, I took a look. It ends up as an interesting history lesson of what a modern DSP platform looked like a decade ago. Come, look with me...

If you ask what is ZOIA? I can help as little as @empress_effects : it's what you want it to be. If you ask what does ZOIA mean? I can confirm that there are many theories. But if you ask what's ZOIA made of? Right place, come look inside with me.…
