In 2024 I may replace the Cool Cat with another chorus, and put together one or two other boards from my spare pedals: Danelectro Dan-echo and Fab Tone, Boss BD-2, SD-1, and DS-1, TC Ditto).

    That’s good to hear that you like the MXR Trem. I had been looking at a few trem pedals and this one seemed to sound good in all modes and has a ton of versatility based on the online demos. I’ll have to see if the Mission Engineering expression pedal will work with this MXR. I can’t wait to experiment with it more.

    The TrueTone stuff is really good. I had a CS7 before and it powered a lot of stuff. But I did need a similar versatility with different scaling that you’re running into and got the Cioks for that reason. Your board is bigger than mine, so I can totally see the Fender Power Engine being a great upgrade. Of course a GigRig would be amazing, too.

    I really like the Hizumitas. I’m not a huge fuzz person, but this one can do a lot. Nice wide range of fuzz tones. I like the wall of fuzz type tones it can produce and it’s how I’m using it. It is a very close 2nd to my KittyCaster FX Groovy Wizard. I’ll probably be swapping those fuzzes back and forth depending on what I’m playing and the type of fuzz I’m in the mood for.

    I love the Dispatch Master. Being a 2-for-1 pedal doing reverb and delay so well is why I dig it so much. It works great in front of an amp or in the loop. I like to put it on for leads or to add some spread to rhythm parts. I’m not chasing super ambient or layered shoegaze type tones, so it works perfectly for me. If one were to be looking for longer, crazier delay/reverb stuff, I’d suggest the Avalanche Run or Afterneath depending on how many features are needed.
