The pedalboard v5 in use since June 2023 introduced many changes from the previous iteration.
- New looper AEROS Loop Studio from Singular Sound replaced old friend DittoX4.
- MC6 MIDI controller was upgraded to MC6 Pro.
- New delay pedal ElCapistan v2 Tape Delay from Strymon.
- DIG dual delay pedal upgraded to DIG v2.
- Series/parallel box custom-made by Goodwood Audio (partially seen under VENTRIS) now allows DIG→BlueSky and ElCapistan→VENTRIS to run either in parallel or in series.
- IRIDIUM and ENZO return to the main board; ICONOCLAST went ot the auxiliary board; the EXPRESSIONATOR was retired.
- Switches on the side of the board (not seen here) allow to toggle the volume pedal between expression, volume, both or off.
The auxiliary board now looks like this:
Two new mono pedals were added which are still under exploration:
- INFINITE from TC Electronic is a sample sustainer pedal for freezing and layering 1, 2, 3, or infinite sounds with or without additional modulation.
- ATTACK/DELAY reverse tape simulator from Electroharmonics is a new volume-swell pedal with added fuzz.
These are chained in mono after the volume pedal (Loop1). ICONOCLAST and HEDRA are in a stereo loop (Loop 2) after IRIDIUM. The complete signal chain looks like this. The auxiliary board is more of an optional laboratory, the main board is still autonomous.
