Gravity Well, by Celestis track by Alyag
Main riff from “Beautiful Nightmare”, clean and slowed down a tad.
I’d never expected the ANTI 1992 pedal to have such a gorgeously sparkling clean tone, but hotdamn was I pleasantly surprised to find it to be so much more versatile than just a one-trick aggro chainsaw shred pony (and I absolutely love the distortion I get out of it, by the by).
It also pairs nicely with the Orion (tape echo) and Heavenly (plate reverb) pedals, along with my Tone Corset (compressor) and the Analog Chorus… tharrr be my current pedal rig, for my fellow gear nerds out there. 🤓
