If it didn't cost the price of a new car to send guitars between counties, it would be there already!

Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
Tell me more about the Echoman...obvious question is, does it really sound like a DMM? As I wank on about, I really love the AlterEgo...but, always searching....

Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
DMM setting on the AlterEgo is the first delay sound that I truly fell in love with.

Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
In a bizarre turn of events, the Yamano American Vintage 62 Stratocaster I got in April has been a breath of fresh air. I have had maybe 25 Strats, many vintage. Finally.
And I think the Greer Organic Overdrive too...inspiring properly transparent overdrive (damn it, I said those words).
In a twisted turn of events, none planned, Lani, the 1960 ES-335, came home with me again.
Quite the year on reflection.

Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
It does have a sprinkle of magic dust in there, I agree. The delay fanbois do seem to overlook the AE...not sure why (maybe not tweak able enough?).robthemac wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2024 11:09 amDMM setting on the AlterEgo is the first delay sound that I truly fell in love with.

Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
It was designed by the designer of the DMM and I reckon its slightly more refined and controllable than the original, but has all that mojo!
Xvive are manufacturing new Panasonic MN3009 BBD chips for these and for other pedals and end users, really doing the lords work!!!
Oh yeah and it was ~$160 landed from Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XCHSBDM
I too love the Alter Ego, I had one of the original baby poo yellow ones when they were released, one of my biggest regrets, the Binson Echorec emulation was spot on, one of the reasons I've got a Plethora X1 on the way is that people have figured out how to emulate the Alter Ego Echorec mode on a normal flashback so I should be able to create my own toneprint for the Plethora, yay!
How can I be sure I'm here?

I’m assuming you mean vicarious youthful hope?

Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
Well just bought a Matchless 30/15. Been using a Strymon Iridium for a while which is great but it doesn’t quite emulate some of the 3d sounds this thing shunts out

Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
My PRS Custom 24 is a fantastic guitar. A bit of a gamble buying without seeing it in person, but I couldn't be happier with how it plays and sounds.
Loving it so far
Re: Gear Of The Year 2024
Matchless do seem to have a pretty rich tone about them, quite unique really, good score!
