I haven’t heard anything to convince me yet. Like I said in my earlier post, too many other pedals cover similar ground. Also have the H90, only real limitation is my own lack of creativity haha.
EU order #89XX just arrived! Got a clean and a Onward, plus a misterious pink box.
Wow, analog music company’s So High So Low mk3.
Couldn’t be happier! Honestly it fits what im about to do with this gear anyway!
Really excited to see what all this can do in the coming months1

And I got a Mood mkII, once more after selling my first ! Guess it’s a sign I need to give it another shot

Hehe, same here.
I have picked up a Disaster Area Designs MIDI Box 4 to sync it, I’ll see where it leads me ^^

I got my Mystery Box with a Lossy on Friday and had a bit of time to go through the Lossy Field Guide over the weekend. I used it both as a guitar pedal and as a master effect on Ableton Move. There are a lot of cool effects on tap — Packet Repeat almost turns it into an unpredictable spectral resonator, and the reverb is pretty unique. But I’ve also got a real mental block about “the early 2000s sound.” I started making music in the early 2000s, and most of us desperately wanted “the early 1970s sound.” I’ve still never let that go.
I’m not nostalgic for early 2001 when I was streaming Green Day music videos from Launch .com at the lowest bitrate on a 56k modem, praying that it wouldn’t buffer because I was pirating the song via the aux jack on an old cassette recorder. That’s just something I did because I could live with the lower sound quality and it was more convenient than waiting for the song to come onto the radio.
I’m nostalgic for late 2005 when I was using that same recorder to add analogue distortion to my Tascam 788, or opening it up to see if I could change the motor speed. I’m nostalgic for the days when I would watch eBay listings for cassette four-tracks hit the $200+shipping mark and decide that my current setup was probably still good enough, “but one day soon I’ll get something with varispeed recording.”
Digital is convenient, reliable, and usually good enough, but my goals, ideals, and hauntological hooks are all analogue.
On the one hand Lossy sits so far outside of my aesthetic and it’s mega-expensive for a pedal I might only use once in a blue moon. On the other hand, I want to keep it BECAUSE it sits so far out of my comfort zone — it adds a cool “Windowlicker” vibe that I’ve never even tried to work with. I doubt I’ll ever use it on a full mix like I do with the Generation Loss mkii, but Lossy might point me in some fun new directions if I give it a chance.

Lossy might be the deepest CBA for me. It feels like 7 pedals in one, yet I hardly every use it as intended. The filters and reverb might be two of my favorites. If you modulate both filters, you can get some wonderful resonant sweeps. The gate can also produces great momentary bursts of grime. I also use the auto-gain as a colorful boost—just like the Gen Loss. I really overdid it on all of my presets because they’re soooo loud!

I became aware that I’d forgotten entirely how Mood mk2 worked so sat down and had a session with that, a flint and Gen loss 2.

Impressive! Could you share some tips (Mood mk2 related) on how to get these kind of sounds?
Stretch mode is your friend here. MODIFY close to noon and LENGTH to taste or modulated for changing the grain size automated. You start with a washy swelly sound, layering also some transient sound to get a better feel of Stretch mode. Also the new firmware introduces a closer sound to MK1 Stretch mode, smearing out transients for washier sound. You can jump back and forth from Classic mode dipswitch (maybe using a MIDI CC).
Also you can use different CLOCK values while overdubbing so you end up with poly sound with octaves.
Of course Reverb or Delay or even Slip to get get an extra layer for harmony.

Question ???
Is anyone using Clean as an ‘end of chain’ solution for some glue compression and/or limiting.
What are your findings? Looking forward 
Anyone know some usb cable for a blooper that can buy in eu? Have 8 usb cables at home and all was to big to make it connect… the opening on bloopers case is so small
I’m using it mid chain.
soft boost/eq -> clean -> reverb
Sounds fantastic!

Thx, yes I suppose it sounds awesome anywhere in the chain

Yes i am…
i find it works pretty well for limiting, granted i am no compressor expert and my only other compressor has been on the Octatrack and i personally think that Clean sounds better.
i actually have two Clean 
(one bought at launch and the other from the mysterybox)
My findings is that i don’t go to SAG territory for limiting because that whole mix drops out.
My settings are fastest attack and longest decay… WET set to max and DRY to min. I have the threshold set pretty high 3/4 of the knob and dynamics at noon… if the volume is to low then i dial back dynamics and threshold to taste.
Here is live set practice i did for an upcoming gig im doing with just a OP-XY and two cleans running in series. the first acts more like an effect, with high attack setting and low decay setting to try and get that swooshy, pumping feeling and the other one is acting as a limiter.
its maybe not the best audio for listening to the compressor as it is pretty distorted going into the the Clean chain, but its something atleast.

‘true analogue bypass’ ie. it’s not even plugged in
