Post pics of your guitar pedals.
 
I just got this Electro Harmonix pedal bag today, so now my pedals are finally organized. I've very happy with it, fits my pedals perfectly and is only $40 bucks, which is a good deal if you don't need some fancy expensive pedalboard. As stated in the Electro Harmonix thread, I've been getting into using pedals again, and am quite happy with my current setup. Whatchu got?
 

L-R: Electro-Harmonix Small Clone (Chorus)/Proco Turbo Rat (Distortion)/Danelectro French Toast (Octave Fuzz)/Danelectro Fab Flange/Boss DD-20 (Digital Delay)/Boss TU-2 (Tuner & Power Source) Top: Electro Harmonix Russian Big Muff (Distortion, not used currently)

Woah fuck...how much did that cost?! Where did u find ti?

sonicpollution 04.20.2006 09:03 AM

By the way, what do you think of the GIGA-delay CHOUT?

Call me a technophobe, but I found it so difficult and awkward to operate that I couldn't possibly justify spending the money on it. (It sounds great, but I'm holding out for something that doesn't take me 10 minutes to set correctly.)

I don't have pictures of my pedals, but I can be boring and list them off:

Ibanez Tubescreamer
E-H Russian Big Muff
Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion (for high pitched noises only)
E-H Small Clone
MXR Phase 90
Ibanez AD80 Analog Delay

nature scene 04.20.2006 09:48 AM

I can list:

Digitech Tone Driver Overdrive
Morley PWA Wah
Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer
MXR Phase 90
Boss PS-2 pitch shifter/delay
Boss DD-3 Delay
Boss PH-3 Phase
Boss RC-20 XL Loop
SansAmp GT2 amp modeler/distortion

Everything but the dd-3 and the boss phase sit on my pedalboard.

Lone Flanger 04.20.2006 10:39 AM




 


Most of them, and a little board.

I love it. Once you experiment with it a little, it's way easy to use. It has tap tempo, which makes it easier to get a good delay time. I messed around with the reverse setting and accidentally made my own ring mod sound, which is another pedal I've wanted.
The sound on sound feature is so cool. You can record a loop up to 23 seconds, then play on top of it infinitely, not to mention you can layer it infinitely too. I have a song with a noisy section that this will be perfect for.
This is easily the best delay pedal I've ever used.
There's a demo video at musician's friend (warning: Cheezy metal dude.)

Which one do you like better? Zvex pedals are awesome, but so pricey.

CHOUT 04.20.2006 12:55 PM

RIPfrey05,
How do you like the Poly Chorus?

Where do you find those Harmonic Percolators? How much?

Trasher02 04.20.2006 12:59 PM

Zvex pedal sounds great and i don't regret buying it at all.
I don't know which one i like better, it kinda depends on what yr playing but right now i'd say the fuzz factory.
by the way CHOUT, mine didn't cost that much, i got it real cheap ( i've got some connections in that guitarshop so i got a discount).

DoubleNickels 04.20.2006 01:04 PM

currently in the chain (inorder)

Boss SuperOverdrive
EHX USA Muff
Boss Super Chorus
Boss PH-3 phaser (which I'm contemplating selling)
Arion Flanger (cool flanger which has a little bit of a rubbery sound, and will add distortion when engaged)
DOD Digital Delay

Not in the chain
Digitech Bass Synth (used as octaver)
Digitech Hot Rod (I'm against digital distortion, but I hook this one up with the other two and yell into my guitar)

krastian 04.20.2006 02:07 PM

Nice pedals....us drummers don't get anything sweet like that:mad:

Trasher02 04.20.2006 02:14 PM

???
what are you talking about you drummers got the coolest pedals of all?!?

 

finding nobody 04.20.2006 02:14 PM

i read about a disortion pedal that kim had. she said when you turn it up like 1/4, it can kill your amp. so now she uses it as a slide

Trasher02 04.20.2006 02:15 PM

i wonder how that would work on a guitar :p

Ha...yeah, but that's no biggy!

hey alex 04.20.2006 02:29 PM

i have a russian big muff and digitech pds 1700 (chorus/flanger) It's pretty cool, I think my next pedal's going to be a wah, or if i feel like saving up longer, a delay of somekind.
 

not mine, but what i t looks like

RockerNino 04.20.2006 02:45 PM

does the Boss TU-2 only power up other boss pedals or does it work with all others? i was thinking of getting one, is it worth it?

It'll power most 9-volt pedals, but you may need adapters for some pedals like electro harmonix 1/8 inputs. There's also 9 volt battery adapters which work good for pedals that only run on batteries, like the Russian Big Muff.
You can find these adapters if you search godlyke at musician's friend.

Edit: by adapters, I mean for the daisy chain link cable that runs out of the Boss TU-2 to power the pedals. Not 'wall warts'.


RockerNino 04.20.2006 02:55 PM

THanks a lot Chout

Danny Himself 04.20.2006 04:11 PM

Reps for the dude with the Blue Box. Those things are great.

Magublafix 04.20.2006 05:21 PM

When this "thing" is finished, it will be my wonderful "Proco Rat"
 

youthoftomorrow 04.20.2006 05:27 PM

this is the only i've got:


 


$25 from Musician's Friend.

it sounds great with my Strat, but not with my actual bass.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 04.20.2006 07:52 PM

You can see my pedals in both my youtube videos. At the end of Science Fiction, and you can see my board at the beginning of the WIRE- Commercial fan vid I made. Although I chose the music after I made the video, so I guess it is really not a fan video.

But anyways:

CHOUT 04.20.2006 08:14 PM

Look what I found for $50 today. An old 70's Small Stone (like this)! Sounds awesome. I wasn't intending on buying any pedals for a while, but I couldn't pass it up.
 

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 04.20.2006 08:16 PM

Ripfrey, how is the harmonic percolater? Could you post sound clips? I always thought Albini got the harshness from his other stuff- such as his guitars, pickups, playing style, amp set up, and chorus. Also, have you heard the Dano fab distortion? I heard it is a copy of the perc, I'm wondering if it sounds similar- it would be a pretty nice deal for 15 bucks.

Lone Flanger, how do you like the Slow Volume? I sort of want attack decay, but can't really justify the money, most guitar synths have it, and I'm bound to get one someday.

I'm about to buy a PB+J delay, problably in the next few days. There are a lot of cool bends you can do to make it into an awesome delay. I'm also going to mod my frequency analyzer to be a lot more versatile like a moogerfooger.

I'm saving up for some pedals, the next big purchase will be a ZVEX fuzz factory though.

Other pedals that excite me:
ZVEX Lofi Loop junkie
Electro-Harmonix HOG
Danelectro Chicken Salad
Electro-Harmonix 16 second delay
Moogerfooger Murf

It's cool. It's definitely a 'lead' pedal. You have to get used to playing with it and that can be hard so I'm not a real big user of it. Once I get a board together, it'll be on there though. I like it going into a delay especially with a reverse delay setting.

stirling 04.20.2006 08:40 PM

I've used the Dano FabTone - it was much better than I expected, but not quite right for me. For $15, though, it's a steal.

I read an interview with Page Hamilton where he said the Fuzz Factory is the best distortion he's used. I'm sure he's tried a lot of them.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 04.20.2006 09:32 PM

My friend gave it too me. I use it for making my feedback sound warbly, making my harmonics ring harder, and modulating my echos. I don't use chorus too hardcore, so it is good for what I need. The high and low filters on it can match its tone to your guitar, which is really nice. What is cool is that it is not true stereo, so when I feel like it, I push the effect out to a completely cranked 15 watt ss amp and the normal out to my main amp, and I can get subtle noisy backdrops with oscillating feeback.

Oh, and here are the 2 videos I made http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=juliandunn

I'm going to have some live videos next week. Going to be a one man show since my bassist pooped out on me :(.
