Been AWOL for a bit due to the fires. Was not personally affected but just didn’t have much drive to use social media while it was going on.

You should go for it! Guitar is such an amazing instrument, and I find playing very meditative as well

It’s the Meris LVX. It’s a really deep delay with tons of modulation options and some extra digital effects.

I tried to add another reverb (with stereo reverse) but it has side I/O so can’t really squeeze it in. Might move the Walrus Polychrome from board #2 to add flanging. Or we might go shopping. Any suggestions?

Still room for one more. What should I add?

I know the feeling. I’m doing a new board that’s going to start with the Keeley Octo PSI and then go into an amp modeler (not sure which one yet), then an OBNE Screen Violence and finally the LVX

The Meris LVX is incredible but it’s a delay/mod machine only. The other options are significantly broader, but not nearly as good at delay/mod effects.

Hello new followers! My general rule is to follow anyone back who engages, so come say hi - tell me who you are and what awesome stuff you’ve been up to
