I think you’ll find that to be true of any EHX/Boss comparison. Analog just sounds better than digital (this is a fact). That is also the reason why I will never (ever) purchase a single Boss product, when I could get a comparable (somewhat) EHX for the same or lower price.

that would be fun…

this is something me and F&ehx;came up with ages ago….the ‘black lodge’ reverse delay with modulation & distortion….it has a ‘twin peaks’ theme! I still think it would be a neat pedal.

actually, since the Hazarai, it doesn’t seem quite as exciting as it did back then, although modulated reverse delay is still something new.

if you used a boost after it in the loop I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. The LPB-1 isn’t completely transparent though it would alter your tone slightly, I wouldn’t say ‘mess it up’ I like what it does to my tone (although I’ve never tried it in a loop) but it would sound different. The MXR micro amp would colour the tone less but it’s double the price of an lpb…..

….have you got an overdrive pedal lying around, you could try that with the drive knob right down and the volume up to boost the signal, that would give you an idea of what it would sound like with a boost after it?
