The ultimate pedal - the Empress Zoia. It's every effect you can think of, some you can't and it's even a synth on top of that! The modular way you can build effects is very powerful and the community have done amazing things with it.
Very interesting approach for sound design for lofi style or just inspiration! Those 3 pedals are great I can’t wait to see more in your exploration in this new world. I know since my beginning in music that pedals can be magic with keyboards sounds. Thanks for sharing!
One thing I’d be very grateful if you could test: really push your tape machine into distortion, then compare with the Artifakt. Of course every unit’s distortion is different, but I’m curious how you would describe each. I have a Tascam 424, and I’ve really been eyeing the Artifakt.
I feel like you could do some interesting stuff with the SOMA Cosmos. I've thought that pedal was pretty cool/interesting for a while now, but there isn't a whole lot of good content out there for it.
Pedals are great, but most cost more than my synths/controllers etc... the sp404mk2 can be purchased for 350 second hand if you are lucky. Very hard to justify a 350-500 usd external VST
