There were a couple of pretty cool trimpots inside that Prophet VS, but its owner chased me away before I could completely remove the anti-aliasing circuit…

Good times.

That’s basically it, yes.

lol…

Wrong question. And yes, I’m pretty sure it is. Whoever told you pedals need to be True Bypass should be thoroughly lectured. You can only really hear the difference in extreme cases (eg, a Crybaby) or if you have an otherwise pristine setup. Which I doubt.

In any case, this is my friend’s setup, who has very similar tastes to you: Tube Zipper->Metal Muff->Stereo Memory Man w/Hazarai

It’s a very nice $425 rig. You can get those ominous clean sounds with the SmMw/H, really intense metal sounds with the MM, and stuff ranging from trippy to funky with the Tube Zipper.

If you have a bigger budget, I’d probably splurge on a MicroPOG. Or a POG2.

Simple. We just need an Infinite Improbability Drive. Although that could have some… tracking problems… :facepalm:

The tubes of tomorrow: improbability drive technology.

I’d be all over this if it was made. All you would need, as far as I can see, is a Freeze button, a mix knob, and an effects loop. The loop would have so many possibilities: put in an octave for organ sounds, a wah for ambient sweeping type things, or to send it to a different amp… as a keyboardist, I could find dozens of uses for that!

This gives me an idea… a line of pedals entirely made up of Haz/Pog2 type controls…
