Re: Chaosound Anti-Effect.
You moastly like that because of the sensible shoes.
Sound-wise, it seems kind of like it really only has one sound, and i don't know that it needs as many knobs or switches at all?
If it was just a depth knob, just the left switch, and a set speed of somewhere around middle to high, it would probably be just as useful, IMO.
That said, to refer to such a pedal as "useful" at all seems a bit of a stretch to me. And i LIKE noisy pedals.
For $240, this seems all wrong(in the less desirable sort of way) to me, for what it does.
Sounds like it is doing some digital resampling or perhaps some regular old sample/hold bitrate reduction style thing.
For the price though, something like teh Zvex Seek Trem or Tremorama both strike me as being able to do some similar glitchy sorts of 'broken cable cutout' stuff, but while additionally having a much wider flexibility and a more cleverly designed feature set. Used, they must go for about this much money too, i would think, especially if there exist Vexter versions of them?
Between the Zvex and a basic bitcrusher, methinks one could do a fair bit better than this thing.
Though i do of course applaud the use of sensible shoes over the typical bare hairy trollfeet and/or ill-fitting dirty white socks, that so many other pedal demonstrators exhibit.
