Sounds like there may be a fifth interval in there (quietly). Doesn’t sound like anything too complex in terms of oscillators, though if the pulse is less than 50% duty cycle C4 can’t do it (though can be fudged via FM). Cutoff seems relatively static. Might be better to get the swell from the amp envelope instead. I’d guess it’s sidechained too so might be worth experimenting syncing the LFO to achieve the ducking.

Over 75% there now!

Works for Audio Kitchen…

One can have one’s own design on it, so if I ever get one, perhaps a commission is in order.

The attack/release times are different. The range of the HPF is different. The new one seems to have more bottom and is more transparent than the older one. The older one seems a bit clearer on top and colours the sound more than the newer one. Depending on what they are paired with, one can sound better than the other.

I’m having a hard time choosing between this and the previous incarnation. They both sound good.

Yes, this was my understanding. He clearly states in his reverb shop that he’s based in turkey for half the year, which strongly implies he ships from there when he is. And I do remember reading of UK folks who’d had import duty. Looks like the rules have changed since I last looked into this and commercial goods up to £135 don’t get charged (as HMRC assumes seller has charged VAT already) but gifts over £39 get charged. (That’s a little bizarre as presumably someone could send you a gift of a commercial item that is over £39 but under £135 in value and you would be charged for that, whereas if you bought the item yourself, you wouldn’t be charged. 🤷🏻)

Yes, the Origin stuff holds up really well against the “real thing”; I love the two I have. I agree. For £600 the Celebrity pedal looks aesthetically unappealing. Could also do with a more robust tube cage. I’d still like to try one if I can. I’m not on IG so have only managed to hear one short demo. The Grand Slampegg has been the best I’ve tried so far.

A few competitors now in the form of Grand Slampegg and the Celebrity pedals one but still…

Isn’t it always the way?

Oh, and for anyone interested in Shift Line stuff, it took 15 days from purchase to delivery.

Just dipped my toes a bit deeper into the world of cab sim and amp sim IRs:

Here’s a useful bit of info I got in a reply from Greg when I messaged him last night with my name suggestions. “Hey Peter, thanks for the message. Feel free to message on Instagram.com/celebritypedals in future as the Tube Preamp will only be available via DM through PayPal. You can choose any name and image you want for it! Thanks again.
