I stumbled into a Becos Twain Mk 1. I have been looking for a fast VCA compressor to pair with an existing tube compressor. The plan is to try to use this as an end-of chain glue compressor.

Small issue: it needs a power supply that is 2mm longer than standard Boss 10mm barrels. The power jack is recessed behind 2mm of the pedal's case. 12mm Cioks cable coming next week.

This is way above my needs and functionality abilities 

 

but it’s very cool. As per all FTT gear I have used it’s superbly constructed

It's the kinda tweak ability that's great.... till my daughters decide to play with my pedals and move all the knobs- and then something like a SA atlas with saveable presets comes into it's own!

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

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

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

Do you think there’s a lot of difference between the two. I’ve never tried the older version so I can’t judge.

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.

Do you have a favourite preamp?

I’ve only been exploring them for a few months. This Grand Slampegg is really nice. Really like the Shift Line Olympic and the Origin BassRig 64 Black Panel too.

 

It’s got out of hand! (And that’s not including the 8 other (soon to be 9) Source Audio pedals.)
