Favorite PG pedal: OBNE Procession
J’s year in review
This year went so fast.
Neunaber pedals (from last year, Immerse reverb this year.
A solid year for pedal development.
The bogner / Neve pedals in general.
Lots of reverbs and stuff this year, I think the Catalinbread Adineko and DBA ghost Delay. Solid Gold FX electroman.
Has fender come out with tons of new guitars this past year?
Major advancements in tuner pedal technology!
Obviously the MODO bass instrument from IK multimedia
Worst of the year goes to Gibson for their “2017” lineup where the traditional model doesn’t have traditional features.
But…
Gibson gets a clean slate for 2017!

Flat EQ, Full EQ, or Scoop (typical Big Muff sound)
3 way switch for reverb:
Hall
Focused: two delays on top of ‘verb in parallel, 250ms & 380ms
Reverse: “the impossible tone” from My Bloody Valentine’s “Loveless”. Lots of details for this sound, see website for info.
Swap the order of effects
CME version seems slightly different than the factory run Keeley.
