This nice little stomp is extremely natural sounding [[delay]] pedal that has character and offers some nice features not found otherwise in factory models. The boutique price and not being able to test it can turn down some people, but if you like analog delay sound, you cannot make a mistake with this one. It's a real jewel.

I'd suggest you get a thick pick that doesn't bend/flex for working on your AP. Maybe 1.0 MM or thicker and then sharpen it to a bit of a point using sand paper. Don't make a weapon, just sharpen it up a bit.

This is an analog [[delay]] boutique stomp with bucket brigade chip. There are several versions of this effect, and this one has 300ms of delay time, and somewhat brighter delay effect. There is also a dark version, and both versions feature either 300ms or 600ms of delay time, priced accordingly. The 300ms versions are mono, and 600ms ones offer stereo outs (dry/wet separation) and also expression input to control the delay time via external pedal.

It's important to use a pointed pick when practicing Alternate Picking. Tear drop shape with a long, sharp, point. This is the shape that I've been creating by shaving/carving/sanding standard picks for years. Creating this fine point really helps to decrease the amount of "Pick Drag" and reduce the amount of pick striking the string at any given time. This will help you essentially play in a more accurate, consistent fashion and with increased speed.

This shape is becoming more and more popular as evidenced by it's adoption from a large distributor like Dunlop where as for quite some time, these large picks in this shape were seen more from boutique vendors like V-Picks.

Picks for Alternate Picking:

An article by instructor Todd Simpson

I'd suggest you get a thick pick that doesn't bend/flex for working on your AP. Maybe 1.0 MM or thicker and then sharpen it to a bit of a point using sand paper. Don't make a weapon, just sharpen it up a bit.

It's important to use a pointed pick when practicing Alternate Picking. Tear drop shape with a long, sharp, point. This is the shape that I've been creating by shaving/carving/sanding standard picks for years. Creating this fine point really helps to decrease the amount of "Pick Drag" and reduce the amount of pick striking the string at any given time. This will help you essentially play in a more accurate, consistent fashion and with increased speed.

This shape is becoming more and more popular as evidenced by it's adoption from a large distributor like Dunlop where as for quite some time, these large picks in this shape were seen more from boutique vendors like V-Picks.
