Also, nice looking board! A soul food was one of my first pedals, but i got rid of it because i'm not too crazy for the "transparent overdrive" type of pedals, i just like stuff that can make my amp sound like its breaking.
Thank you! I don't use a ton of overdrive but I like having it on low to get just a bit of that harmonic interference in chords but I wish it got a little gnarlier. I ordered a King of Tone clone called King of Clone like a month ago because I wanna see what all the hubbub is about for myself, hoping it'll replace the soul food when it finally gets here. I like grotesque sounding stuff too btw, big on glitchy echoey detuning noisy kinda sounds.
Ahh I've seen these. Sounds great and that knob is beautiful. I'll definitely be keeping it in mind. The King of Clone is a lot of pedalboard real estate too which I'm never crazy about, I was just real curious and figured it'd be easy to resell.
I wish this was my photo, but i might be able to find something similar when me and three other bands hooked up our boards together. It was like, 7 different boards. We called it Spaceship 1, because it probably had the same amount of circuits and computers nasa did with the apollo project.
Oh wow I haven't seen the Emperor before. I just watched a few videos of the Emperor V2 and it sounds absolutely great. The square wave is really neat and I wish the Julia had tap tempo. It sounds a little more transparent I guess? I feel like I can recognize the Julia when I hear it but the Emperor sounds less distinctive, albeit still very good. I use it on full vibrato more than I use it as a chorus. Medium shallow depth with the rate turned down gives this wonderful vinyl sort of warmth that I haven't heard in clips of the Emperor yet but that could very well just be the settings in the videos I've seen. They definitely seem very comparable, I'm sure I'd be happy with an Emperor too.
What's awesome is that Walrus Audio put a V2 called the Julianna with some of the Emperor features like waveform & tap tempo, and some even more wild features like stereo out, an expression jack, and a ramp function similar to a Leslie speaker speed button. That's got me tempted if I ever want to swap out the Emperor. Yeah, more or less I use that straight chorus setting when I'm playing jangly indie stuff akin to the Smiths or the Stone Roses, really adds some extra sparkle and depth to my tone. Haven't done too much experimenting with it although the square-wave vibrato setting is fun to screw around with.
Ahhh that ramp feature is really cool, I'd love that. I've seen a similar feature on some reverb pedals and it always has me drooling. Personally I've been thinking about selling a couple pedals and trying out something real nuts like one of the Hologram Electronics pedals.
WOW what is going on with that starship control panel in the picture? Did you guys connect all your boards for fun? It's beautiful
here's mine
i have an LP studio and a twin reverb RI, really oughtta get something smaller until bandtimes can happen again.

I use the earthquaker acupulco gold. Insane headroom. I just leave it on all the time, and let my volume knob do the work.

Hahaha that's amazing., reminds me of this pedals and effects video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSKGOWt94s8
Gonna need to know more about the Julia! I was so torn between that or the JHS Emperor and ultimately went with the latter
