RIFFpost: WAY HUGE Smalls AQUA PUSS (analog delay)
Colloquialisms aside of it's "watery sounding slapback echos" of a certain... "puss sound", there is a lot to like about this particular WAY HUGE analog circuitry.
Expect combo videos with the AQUA PUSS and a variety of other effects (distortion/phaser/flanger/other delay's/etc.), in the future.

First test run of screen capturing my Dreamcast while running the original PSO (Ver.2) and using my first original character I created 23 years ago.
I believe it's been about 20 years since I actually fired up my Dreamcast and it ran just fine. You will notice the very first thing it asks me to do is set the time and date and the default is 11/27/1998.
Once I got into PSO it prompts you that "PSO is a unique game in that your character can exist offline and online..." and that "you must play on the same Dreamcast throughout the entire adventure." My character was at level 111 with 279 hours gameplay logged last I played it 20 something years ago. I had some memories flood in for sure after seeing that.
You can then choose "ONLINE" or "OFFLINE" mode, (obviously I could only choose OFFLINE), and then the 4 different difficulties. Once my character was loaded I took at quick peek at all my gear and I that was it for now.
No commentary yet, but my next video I will take a look at my storage and play a little bit while offering some commentary on the mic.
The 3 Series Phaser gives you standard phaser sounds that has added range for dialing in more "underwater" vibrato effects and mixing options. For $99 it's a great value, especially with the amount of onboard controls that are otherwise lacking in other similarly priced phasers.

Something tells me corporations know that a bunch of people are in debt and need a way to get people to spend their money, and not just on guitar pedals.
And if you miss one payment you will more than likely have to pay 30% interest afterwards.
This video is NOT financial advice and just my personal opinion.
I'M GONNA ASTRONOOOOOOOMMM
Using this thing is much easier than explaining how to use it. And even though I explain it in the video I've typed out an explanation anyway:
1: There are 2 switches on the LEFT-SIDE of the pedal: "TOP" and "BOTTOM". Both of these switches have the same 3 reverb algorithm modes to choose from: "Canis Major", "Orion", and "Ursa Major".
2: There is a TOP row of 3 controls for MASS, GLOW, and TRAVEL, and a BOTTOM row of 3 controls for MASS, GLOW, and TRAVEL.
3: There is an "Alt Switch" (the footswitch offset to the right): When the LED is ON, the "BOTTOM" switch on the LEFT-SIDE of the pedal is being used and the BOTTOM row of 3 controls are activated for mixing. When the LED is OFF, the "TOP" switch on the LEFT-SIDE of the pedal is being used and the TOP row of of 3 controls are activated for mixing.
4: The "Alt-Switch" allows you switch between 2 out of the 3 reverb algorithm modes that you mix with the TOP and BOTTOM row of controls.

Another stacking video using the WAMPLER Tumnus overdrive going into the Electro-Harmonix Op Amp Big Muff pi fuzz pedal.
Typically for signal chain order it's recommended to have the fuzz first before all other pedals, but placing the overdrive before the fuzz in this combo sounds much better than having the OD after the fuzz. The overdrive going into the fuzz sounds like a very clean and amazing boost, whereas the overdrive after the fuzz doesn't sound good at all.
This is why I don't usually conform to every single "rule" when it comes to signal chains and it should be left up to you how you want your sound. Yes, there are some DO's and DON'Ts, but overdrive + fuzz placement is one of those things where you can experiment with the order depending on what you're using.

I received a comment on my original Dispatch Master video requesting I demo the reverb only in a separate video, so here it is.

Cozy gaming stream on Thanksgiving Eve! This is my test run of capturing my Xbox One for future streams. Gonna start with some Destiny 2 (which I haven't fired up in a while) and we'll see what else after.
I gave the Caves another attempt on ULTIMATE difficulty after my debacle of dying constantly from the auto-death spell "Megid" in my last PSO video. This time armed with a few Scape Dolls and a new "stay far away" tactic, I was able to successfully run the Caves and beat the boss.
I also leveled up my Hunter from 111 to 112, the first time this character has leveled up in 20 years.
The next video will be the Ruins on ULTIMATE difficulty, which will be the last PSO Ver.2 on Dreamcast video... for now.
Moving forward I am no longer uploading these pre-recorded gaming videos to my YouTube. My YouTube will strictly be my guitar content only. My gaming videos will all be Odysee only exclusives alongside all my guitar content. My plan of livestreaming gaming will continue, which includes YouTube, as I am trying to offer a cozy spot for any subscribers who want to chat. I probably won't keep the livestream replays up on YouTube, but they will be available elsewhere. My aim with the livestreams is to discuss anything, and that free speech approach eventually won't be YouTube friendly so we'll see how that all plays out.
