"I only played one note. Used the Micro POG to add an octave down to the signal, then froze it with the Superego. Then the Arpanoid gave us the slow, random arpeggiation (in mode 4, which is a major scale). Dry and wet signal were blended pretty equally. Then we used the Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl to warm up the signal (get rid of some of the harshness from the Superego) and add a little warble. And then the final touch is a 100% wet reverse reverb from the BigSky. I think it sounds pretty awesome. Could probably sit and listen for a while."

"I also used the Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl. It’s a vibrato pedal with an analog signal and a digital controller attached to the back. You can control it with LFOs or the envelope of your attack. I was pushing the amp with it, even when I wasn’t using any pitch changing. Anything that sounds like a chorus on the guitar would be that."
