Pedalboard

All right, everything's in place now.
Strymon Timeline : very powerful delay unit, featuring all sorts of classic or more experimental delays.
EHX Small Clone : the classic chorus unit, this one being a second-hand pedal from the mid-eighties.
EXH Stereo Electric Mistress : flanger/chorus, which makes for a very liquid, moving sound.
Subdecay Quasar : a most interesting phaser pedal, with several waveforms to create a choppy, filter-like effect.
MXR M68 Uni-vibe : gorgeous vibrato, with a round, deep sound.
EHX Nano Big Muff : the miniature version of the classic Big Muff fuzz pedal. It's big, it's hot.
EHX Pog2 : complex octaver pedal.

Synthfest 2015

Synth enthusiasts unite! That's in Nantes, France this weekend.
I had the opportunity to play on a number of vintage synths (Prophet-5, Korg PS-3100, Moog Source) but also recreations of ARP 2600, and obviously the new Korg Odyssey.
Oh, and there was Yves Usson, who helped design the excellent Arturia Minibrute.
