Awesome! Definitely post a review once you've played around with it, it's on the top of my list for new pedals.

got them settled into their temporary home...

Kongpressor - didn't have time to really dive into this one, but think it will really help depth/richness/warmth on the P94s in the "custom" as well as the Firebird... I was using it into the OR15 and a little with the TV50 cleaned up. overall good, I like it a lot, I think given another couple of hours and running it into a cleaned-up AD30 will really make it shine...


2-stroke... holy ****....... I'm in love. really thickened up the OR15, and it drove the hell out of the AD50. honestly, the AD50 was frustrating me until today... now... uh, no (side note, I'm pretty much keeping the EQ-lift on all the time... makes it soooooo angry!!!!). I haven't touched the EQ yet on the 2-stroke, but just using the "oil" to kick the pre-amps in the nuts was a massive improvement. In the coming weeks I will try to run it in the loop on the TV50 or OR15 as more of a volume boost.

VERY VERY impressed with the 2-stroke thus far. can't wait to really play around with it.... same with the Kongpressor.

So, update...

still haven't spent any time with Kong... which bums me out, but it's been crazy (Father-in-Law in hospital).

The 2-Stroke is still just brilliant. Using it to just fatten-up the OR15 and AD50 a smidge and make them punchier and angrier is my favorite use. I don't really use it with the TV50 though, gain structure on that amp is too different, and it's so flexible/versatile the boost just makes it sound more like the OR15 instead of a Thunderverb... so that's not reallly compelling.

I haven't tried either of them with the AD30 yet as I need to get my ABCD switch from loop-master... which a this rate will be here sometime in the spring of 2027.... :x
