I'd use it for ambient music, mainly.

The Strymon stuff looks well reviewed, but I'm also wondering about the Boss RV-500.

I recently picked up a Strymon NightSky for a decent price (less than $250) and I'm mighty impressed. Super easy to figure out (unlike some of the other large-format Strymon stuff I've messed with) and is very much an ambient machine. The "Shimmer" section of the pedal is where it really shines!

Anyone here use Yamaha cymbal stands? Thinking about buying 3 model 755s which are medium duty single braced booms. I think pretty classic design and I recall they always seemed really well made.

I don’t think this would necessarily work for everyone, but just posting a reminder to everyone that TC Electronic m2000s studio reverbs go for very little money. I’ve got two for $150 each after a FM losthighway rec. and they were $1000 rack units new. It’s an xlr balanced in, so you couldn’t just use it like a pedal, but if you were playing ambient music with a small mixer setup it would work wonderfully for having it feedback on itself.

Night sky is good. I have a Digitech Hardwire Reverbs and the Supernatural Reverb which is close to the same. They used to be cheap but really great, Lexicon reverbs and can usually find them any day for 200, 150 if you wait

Would time delay racks work for delaying room mics or, say, wet reverb signals by so many ms? Not delay effects but literal short time delays used for av sound installations or whatever.

I’ve seen stuff like the Klark Teknik DN716 that looks like it can be had very cheaply.

Sure thing.

I got a Creamback in a trade and thinking of putting it in my 2x12...should I get another Creamback or is there another speaker that might pair with it nicely?

Which Creamback? There’s a guitar cabinet company that has some great videos pairing speakers so you can hear them individually and in combination. Zilla cabs.

I remember liking the combo of 65 and 75 watt Creambacks. I’ve owned the Neo and the 65. The 65 is a pretty great speaker.

I got the G12M-65. I was originally planning to get two Neos in the near future, but got this on a trade and now I'm rebuilding the plan on speakers.

Thanks for the tip on the zilla cabs site, quite helpful!

I've had a single braced yamaha straight stand for about 25yrs that has never given me a moment of trouble.
