lemme know if you need a good pic for reference too...but my filter switch isnt working now dammit...didnt use it much though...ill look into fixing it sometime. I was gonna add a footswitch for that too.

i've got a few home made distortions, that's about it.

pics?

no camera here right now, but one of them is a super aggressive fuzz, sounds like a chainsaw (i think it's meant to be a guitar pedal, but it sounds ok in the higher bass register, gets a bit muddy lower down), other is one of the walkman distortion pedal mods that i use rarely.

usually play straight through to the amp, distortion channel but with gain turned low down, so if i decide to play hard i'll get distortion, if not it's clean.

ta da!

Ok, I'm looking for an effect to reverse my signal. What do I need to get?

You can't do that in real time.

You've got two options:

1. Get an attack effect pedal: When you play hard it turns the volume down, then swells it at a speed you select

2. A reverse delay: Lee Ranaldo uses a Danelectro Back Talk

I use an Electro-Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai- I can have a reverse echo up to 1 second in length (well I think it can get even longer than that if I tap a really slow tempo) and I can cut all the clean signal. It also has a normal echo setting where you hit a switch and it plays your last 7 seconds of playing in reverse. That setting is way cool. Finally, it has a looping mode, with the ability to reverse the loop.

Ok, thanks. I don't need to do it real time, I was thinking of using it for breaks in songs and for loops.

found this morley fuzz/wah/volume pedal at a music go round, the second smallest wah i've ever seen next to the dod fx17 (my friend's dod is in the pic)

Cool. I just got a Pearl Flanger.

how much did you end up paying for it? samples?

I only use the Bad Monkey Overdrive and the Holy Grail Reverb pedals. Through my Fender bassman reissue, thats all u need!

proco rat
russian big muff
phase 90
moogerfooger ring mod
mfb filterbox
and my lovely ibanez ad-80

My set up is pretty simple...
Big Muff pi
Boss Ds-1
Vox Wah

25 bucks. I'll do some samples in a bit. It's pretty fun.

I also have simplified my setup to a basic minimal set of pedals, eventhough i have soo many pedals just laying around but basically i just use these:

dunlop hendrix octave fuzz
proco rat
russian eh bigmuff
dod graphic equalizer (primarily as a booster)

backup to the hendrix octave fuzz is a danelectro french toast octave distortion. pretty much by far the best of those mini dano pedals supposedly a very close replica to the infamous foxx tone machine octave fuzz unit but for the price of $30 or so, not bad at all. bad thing is that the french toast doesn't have an LED, the switch for the distortion to octave is not foot friendly, plastic case doesn't seem durable and its not really true-by-pass (but what do you expect for a bargain pedal).

the only other pedal i'm thinking about getting right now is a reverb.

Is the hendrix octave fuzz louder than the french toast? I loved the french toast, but with a band it would always seem to make me quieter, even when cranked.

Okay, made some purchases, updated list. maybe pics later.

Sovtek Big Muff
Cry-Baby
Dano Compressor
Dano Chorus
Ibanez Soundtank Classic Metal
DOD 515-A Sustainer
DOD Supra Distortion
DOD Stereo Flanger
Johnson 50s Tremelo
Modtone Vintage Analog Delay (new)
MXR Phase 90 (new)
Electro-Harmonix Soul Preacher Compressor/Sustainer (new)

Next thing I order will be a MXR Blue Box.

delay/swell is my new favourite effect
you can get it to sound pretty demonic

i have a french toast which i really like but its not as loud and uniquely crazy like the hendrix octave fuzz, my octave fuzz is a beast 10 or 11 o'clock on the volume is much loud enough, cranking it beyond 12 o'clock is just deadly on the ears. though mine my have been quieter but i find it unlikely as i fried a capacitor and had to have it repaired back when i didn't know anythign about electronic circuits and how to fix the thing.

i kinda go back and forth with delay, sometimes i like it sometimes i don't... yet i love the Digitech PDS 1002 (that Lee uses) one of the longest running pedals in my chain i've modded the trim pots so i can get slightly longer delays (from 2 seconds to almost 3 seconds) without too much decay in sound quality and increased the repeats just to the point of self oscillation and if i leave it maxed it slowly degernerates and feedbacks into this intense noise swirl. kinda sounding like those lee moments of layered and overdubbed guitar noise in daydream nation.
