Thoughts on West Pest:

1. Easy to learn and use.

2. Sounds pretty darn good.

3. Very affordable especially if you use it as a eurorack module considering the price for just an OSC in euro.

4. In my opinion it is absolutely atrocious looking, don't hate me for saying so.

5. Definitely needs FX paired with it.

Would I recommend?

YES, for eurorack. Maybe as a desktop synth.

Thoughts on BOSS RE-2:

1. Sounds amazing.

2. Has built in decent sounding reverb.

3. Extra modes like twist that can be a lot of fun.

4. It's a space echo, what's not to like?

Would I recommend?

YES.

Take it easy,

West Pest Demo and Thoughts with Space Echo RE-2

In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) demonstrates the Cre8audio West Pest with the Boss Space Echo RE-2. Get yourself a West Pest here: https://bit.ly/west_pest Check out the Space Echo RE-2 here: https://bit.ly/spcae_echo_re2 "The West Coast folks couldn’t be like everyone else. They had to go all yoga mat, kale smoothie, and alfalfa sprout on the synth world. West Coast style is typically characterized by additive derived, rich and complex sounds. Often more traditional user interface elements are replaced by the abstract and experimental. Perfect for you sophisticated folks. All that said, West Pest is actually not a deep dive into the abstract. It provides a wide array of sonic capabilities while maintaining a quick and easy workflow. You’ll make fresh & inspiring sounds in a flash without having to think about kale smoothies, unless that’s your thing, in that case, yes tons of kale smoothies, pitchers full of them. Anyway, West Pest’s huge sonic capabilities emanate from its modest bento box-sized (sprout-free) exterior. If eurorack is your thing, feel free to pop West Pest out of its enclosure and transform it right into a 40HP eurorack module, or keep it in its case and use it anywhere for your West Coast style pleasure." -Cre8audio https://patchwerks.com/ Demo by: Matthew Piecora Video by: Matthew Piecora ( EZBOT) and Steven Ly (Project 32) https://www.ezbot.live
