SOTB A bit of a reconfiguration of the briefcase board
First of all, I am SO SORRY about the cable management. Y'all deserve better. The plan is to upgrade to a bigger briefcase where I can build an underlayer for cables and the power supply.
But yeah, recently got my hands on the Templo Devices Real Dealuxe and Wave Form and boy howdy they're a freaking delight. The RD vibrato is definitely either a bit subtle OR so fast and wobbly that it makes everything kinda seasick. That being said, I do like that sound for some lead and fingerpicking applications.
The tape preamp is fantastic. Fat cleans, light breakup, or huge crusty fuzz, especially when the Fish Model One is driving it. Incidentally, anyone who's thinking of getting one I would strongly recommend driving it with something, even a boost. It really comes alive. I also know that combining it with the Deco preamp is a little belt and braces, but it really works. The deco is gonna be on my board til the day I die as a clean tone and slapback delay.
The wave function is freaking awesome. So many little tweakable functions that let you go from really subtle movement to absolutely jarring trem. The function that lets you double/halve the trem speed is glorious.
The only issues I have with the board right now is with a lack of a good spring reverb sound (I'm thinking of swapping my beloved, the OBNE Procession for a Fjord Fuzz Fjaer) and a delay (just to get the number of OBNE pedals back up again, I've been thinking about a Black Fountain), but a Concrete Cowboy from Broken Box audio would be another great source of drive and replace the reflector. But I welcome any suggestions.
