I’d love to get some of the old EHX drum machines. AFAIK none of em use samples and all the sounds are synthesized. Which is much more inspiring than the newer digital sampling sounds.

My amp’s pretty awesome for that sort of stuff
Bassman 135

I know for a fact that the pedals are assembled in the EHX factory in New York.

I don’t know where the enclosures are made or the SMC boards are populated though. I don’t think they have the equipment in the EHX factory to populate SMC boards.

look for the frequency analyzer mod
it’s really simple

sounds good to me
personally I like a good chorus with keys or some ring mod, but that’s just me

No guitar pedals are 100% made in the US.

Because even if you’re buying boutique- the parts were made all over the world. A lot of boutiques use Tantalum capacitors for better fidelity, and those come from Africa and are made using Coltan Ore, which is pretty controversial in itself.

a heavy duty joystick with a flat top could get the job done

speaking of modular
having pedals that lock together and have all their connections on the bottom
for super tidy looking boards
