Arrived in the mail today. Haven’t had the chance to plug them in yet.

Keeley D&M Drive & Earthquaker Devices Night Wire Harmonic Tremolo. The upgraded 2019 pedalboard will be revealed soon......

Ooh nice! I prefer an old style pedal board, all zip tied down, to a floor multi effects unit. You don't need a lot if its in front of a good amp.

Tend to agree as a lot of multi units can be either too complex or have lots of compromised sounding effects.

I feel excited then happy for you, jealous then a little bit sad......

Not that much into drives but I'll be interested in what you think of the tremlo, I recently bought the TC Pipeline trem, I haven't dug into its App, but out of the box I'm happy with it. The big advantage with pedals over multi effects is you can stack drives or in my case reverbs

[Fretworn]

I like them both. The Night wire is a harmonic tremolo, so it is a bit different to the normal square wave sound. You can set the rate so it responds to the pick dynamics, the harder you pick the faster it goes. You can do the same with the frequency knob, which controls the high and low pass filters are set. This means you can get a sort of autowah effect if you want to. It’s a real clever pedal. The D&M drive is two great sounding overdrives in one package.
