Over the past week I received a few new machines in the mail (just a coincidence that they all showed up around the same time).
A Keeley 4 Knob Compressor. I really like this one. Makes humbucker-equipped guitars sing. Take a listen:

Just today, a Keeley Modded Boss Blues Driver showed up. Excellent timing, as the Blues Driver seems to be the perfect overdrive sound to go with the Rotary Ensemble (The built-in overdrive on the OD-20 doesn't seem quite as authentic). Toward the end of this clip you can here the Rotary Ensemble's impression of a Uni-Vibe. While the Uni-Vibe model has already received some poor reviews, I think it sounds fine. The discriminating ear (I.E., the kind that is inclined to shell out the $200 + for a good handmade analog vibe clone) will probably not prefer this model to the real thing, but it gets the job done.
