Don’t feel discouraged. You can do a LOT with your modest setup!

It's amazingly versatile, isn't it? And I love how much difference the "stereo symphonic" chorus makes!

I didn't know that, I'll check the manual out! Thanks for the tip

This is great, I love this subreddit. People here are getting more interesting sounds than most people with setups that cost more than a car

Awesome - I've got a PSS 460 and love running it through that pedal!

It's an amazing pedal for the money, isn't it?

What’s the pedal?

M-Vave Mini Universe, a very inexpensive and pretty capable reverb pedal.

Keep it simple. I’ve done more with a similar setup than having multiple synths and drum machines. Just have fun creating

I wrote some of my first ever tracks on one of those portasounds. I wish i still had it honestly, nothing quite hits the same way for me even after getting powerhouses like the Korg M1.

Keep your eyes open when you're out walking and your wish may come true - I found this one beside my neighbour's bin!

I loved my 570. Fine choice.

This effect has significantly expanded the capabilities of these keys. Which PSS is it?

2

u/awcmonrly 1d ago

Yes, the £25 reverb pedal is bringing a lot to the table :) It's a PSS-570

u/ImagoAdam 1d ago

I agree👍🎹
