Thank you sir! I'll certainly try it, yes. I just got a delivery notice. Some of my packages are coming tomorrow!

I just put together a tiny jazz pedal board. I used a TC Electronic corona mini. Great pedal, and with the tone print ap you can change sounds really easily. It's a lot of fun!

WIP as you can see. Still deciding on a chorus pedal, but the other stuff came in, and went together just fine. I love, love, LOVE this compressor. I bought it mostly because the BB Preamp impressed me, but this is one fine compressor. That means Xotic is 2 for 2 on impressing me! Now if only they made a chorus...

unfortunately, it brightens the tone when bypassed.

Think old Rush: fat, swirly, thick. Nice.

In your opinion, how does the Retrosonic unit sound considering my description? Ever compare it to a CE-1? I'd expect there to be no more tone suckage or overloading going on. And that's a good thing of course. I've since considered getting one of these guys since the original was still the best chorus I've ever used, "flaws" and all.

it's a clone of the CE-1 except with true bypass. Sounds amazing but IMO it's a very retro sound. Whether that's good or bad is subjective of course.
