Much to my delight, my other two pink pedals are time-based; one analog, one digital, both delays. Feeding the chaotic chords and unholy circuit speak from the doom duo of fuzz pedals into the analog delay is awesome, but what is more intriguing is when the Strymon Dig is at the end, set to Golden Ratio repeats with a heavy dollop of modulation. The bucket brigade degrading repeats are perpetuated into the Dig’s pink purgatorial vortex of circular repeats. Holding down the Tap footswitch on the Strymon engages the static pads of verb-like sound to layer on top of on the fly. The DM-2W is engaged all the while, keeping the layering content ambient and interesting without drying up while padding. The modulation at the end of the chain bends the drones up and down in that Kevin Shields kind of way, further washing the tonal themes in a big sloshy sink of pink. ToneReport.com 47
