Running each amp into its own speaker in the cab. They blend quite nicely. The modeler is mostly for in ear, silent playing but it can route signal chains to one or both amps if needed.

Running these in parallel

The clean channels work just as well together as the high gain channels. The reverb from the orange compliments the cleans so well. The 5153 is completely mid scooped so it it’s incredible percussively. I have the high gain orange set very mid-forward and it just fits perfectly.

This kinda does it all. Clock control is outstanding. Having repeats is a leg up on tensor. Simultaneous up and down octaves are super clear. The looper is easier to approach than ct5. Long delays like dobbo. If nothing else it’s actually a great boost with unity at like 2 o’clock on the volume knob. Possible improvements: exp control, stereo/drywet split, tone control?

Most recent build

Found an MJT body on Reverb and started piecing this together over the last few weeks. Sonic blue and mint felt like a classy combo. No volume pot, just a universal coil split button and a dual load pot (half tone & half third pickup blend). The pickups are Avedissian with a hidden mini pickup in the neck position under just the two lowest strings. I had the option to route that to a second output but decided to blend it in via the pot to warm up the split coil voicings as needed. Black Mastery kit and a 25.5” Robot Graves Industries neck with locking tuners. Mammoth slinkys in drop A. Such a comfy instrument.

Enjoying the 25.5 r2 in drop A

Mammoth slinkys sit in drop A pretty comfortably, strong don’t feel like spaghetti, gonna have to tune it a few times to stabilize

Good gravy NPD

Shout out to the homie for this trade. Finally got my hands on an Eighth from Audio Cultivation Project. I’m sure someone somewhere has a concise rundown of what this pedal does but it’s a monster. Trashy crunch, warm cleans, crushing distortion. Not sure it’s mentioned anywhere but a triple tap of the footswitch changes the bypass modes, from independent, either/or, or both at the same time.

Any ideal pairings?

Most likely going to run this after my fuzzes, before the amp like an overdrive. Do you swear by the colorbox paired with one or more particular pedals?

Black pickups might be the move. Black Mass? Novak? Egc? Any other recs for a splittable
Bridge and a wide range or low
Output neck?

New Reverb Day

Idk what Electronic Audio Experiments might have coming down the pipeline, but if it’s a new reverb, I’m excited. This one’s a few years old, but it’s incredibly pleasant. There’s no pitch shifting or reverse settings, so Tensor seems to make a perfect companion device. It would be cool to totally kill the modulation OR modulate the dry signal when the reverb is zeroed out. Still, a really inspiring thing.

It’s noticeably thinner at the 12th fret compared to the egc. About 3mm. The squier pickups are also surprisingly great. I’ve heard they can be hit or miss.
