Is there a pedal like the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe, but full stereo (inputs too) and expression control over regen (to nosedive in and out of oscillation). I know there’s the rubberneck with the instant oscillation footswitch. There’s the Wampler Metaverse which is stereo in/out and can control feedback/regen via expression but apparently it doesn’t actually stereo pan the repeats and apparently in spite of being all digital does not support firmware updates. There’s the EHX Grand Canyon which doesn’t do stereo in. Recommendations?

    I don’t have a ton of experience with guitar pedals, but have you looked at the Empress ZOIA? The ZOIA has stereo inputs/outputs, supports an expression pedal and, based on my experience building patches for it, it shouldn’t be very hard to do what you want.

      That looks pretty badass. But I think I’m way too ADHD to effectively use something like that.

        Fair!

        I tend to gravitate tower pedals and instruments like the Empress ZOIA, that are programmable and versatile: the Critter & Guitari Organelle (runs PureData patches), the ZOIA (runs its own thing), the Monome Norns (runs SuperCollider), the MOD Dwarf (combines Linux plugins to create virtual pedalboards). Now that I think of it, these are almost all computers running Linux (I think the ZOIA is the exception)!

        It is very easy to get overwhelmed with possibilities and options, though; constraints are a good thing. I watched Tom Morello’s masterclass and in one of the episodes he talks about his pedalboard. He has like only 5 pedals (2 are repeated because he doesn’t want to change the knobs on stage), and he talks a lot about how he has learned to make what he has sound good, instead of having his pedalboard be a moving target. It’s a really interesting perspective!

          I have mad respect for people who can really dig in and make proper use of components like this. The results are generally impressive. I have a Boss RC-5 and honestly struggle with that! The external dual footswitch helps but I need to dig out the manual to pick more intuitive set of functions.
