OK the Echo Park. Small but heavy little pedal. Stereo In and Out. Normal big switch stompbox enclosure. The light on this is always blinking in tempo, when bypassed it blinks orangey/red when engaged it blinks green, push down hard on the pedal to kick it on, that part of the switch feels a little clunky, I felt like I was breaking something. You use the switch as the tap tempo when not stomping real hard. I have a heavy foot and I didn't even come close to over stomping and disengaging it by mistake. The effects are real nice, options for Tape, Digital and Analog, mod changes etc, nice effect like reverse and sweep. Very nice delay pedal for the price. I'm not sold on the switch and design but it fits real well on my newly re-vamped pedalboard.

Way Huge Pork Loin - used this last night for the first time. I have been trying a new thing with this Bogner so I get the gain channel where I want the gain, then bring it back just a hair, then hit the channel with the WHPL, which just kinda of fills it out, with just the slightest bit of drive and the WHPL has a blend-in-the-clean-here knob so it mixes your clean signal with the OD. This seemed to really work for me last night, I was getting tones that I just loved. Other people have suggested the WHPL is kinda like a poor mans klon. I've never played a klon and unless someone was selling one at a garage sale for $50 I will never have one, I can't spend that much on a pedal. at least the now inflated prices. This worked real well on my clean channel as well, although I didn't use it in any songs I just jammed the tone and just added a little roundness and early breakup to the clean channel.

Sounds cool. I am not too familiar with the Way Huge stuff, other than to know that the old ones were highly regarded modded versions of various popular pedals.

But that echo park has looked intriguing to me for a while.

Keep us filled in as you spend more time wif both. :huzzah:

in the re-vamp, I also, decided to not go through the effects loop with any of my pedals, I had before always taken the delay, trem,modulation and 'verb effects through the loop. I had heard mention that there was a big drop in the tone (I'm just noticed volume drop) in the Shiva's loop, so I tried it out. Seems to be a nice switch. had to do a bit o' tweaking, but I haz happy face.
