Awesome board. How do you like the EHX Eddy? I want to try one.
I think the Eddy has too many knobs for someone like me. The volume and tone typically stay set, tone has to be cranked because the pedal totally kills your high end. I've found it keeps truest to your original tone when you keep it first. Rate and depth do what they're supposed to, but not in a clean boss-style chorus/vibe tone. It's a lot more weird, dirty and lo-fi I guess. The envelope control is kinda hard to make usable, at least from my attempts. I can get it to work, but it usually just sounds stupid and not musical. Same kinda thing with the waveform control. It works decent for like post-punk stuff, maybe some ambient stuff if you're into that. It sounds best with a big obnoxious reverb after it. I've tried setting it up for a slower vibrato that would mimic a trem bar wobble because you can hold the button down and it will only engage while you hold it, but it didn't work as well as I wanted.
I try to like it, but the last couple times I've played with it I'll twist knobs until I find something I think is cool, then make up a riff or chord progression. Then I'll switch it off and whatever I was just playing sounds better to me. It might be going in the sell pile. The chorus and vibe patches in the zoom pedal are just fine, to be honest.
For as many pedals as I've owned, the sound I like the most is very simple. Overdrive, fuzz, tremolo and spring reverb from the amp is seriously all I really play with.
