ll that stuff is extra expansive in europe, that sucks, even the euro doesnt help

Sonic Youth 37 08.20.2008 03:17 PM

Just got this
 
Too bad I'm 200 miles from my amp.

king_buzzo 08.20.2008 03:46 PM

^nice. i tried out a whammy for a pitch shifter and it didnt quite get to me.

thats mostly becuse i haven't played guitar in 2 months and the shop i tried it in was all busted.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 08.22.2008 02:28 AM

I like pitch shifting. Hard effect to master, you've got to make sure you work that treadle just right or it will sound fake.

al shabbray 08.22.2008 04:18 AM

the same for ring modulating.

Sonic Youth 37 08.31.2008 01:21 AM

Just for the record, the PS3 is the shizzz. It is absolutely insane. 3 different types of modes. 1) Delay, 2)Delay+PS, 3)Dual PS. Some of the things that come out of it boggle the mind.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 09.20.2008 10:12 PM

my new board (I made it out of old Ikea bed slats the other day)

 


SpectralJulianIsNotDead 10.15.2008 12:05 PM

I just got a DOD FX-17 wah/volume a few weeks ago, and now I've got a subdecay prometheus coming in the mail.

[Sandbag] 10.15.2008 12:36 PM

nothing at all.. just a Korg multi-effects.
and i'm building my own pedals at the moment.

Niiice!
Wouldn't you be better off with a "diagonal" board for the upper row of pedals, though?

finish sauna?
hahaha
no for real, niiiice. but like nicfit said, hard to reach the upper board by foot I think

CHOUT 10.16.2008 10:54 PM

i'm going to be building a foxx tone machine clone with an octave on off switch just like this:

I've got super long legs and a huge step. I'm 6'4"

Though I am going to lower that tier when I get a pedal power 2.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 10.16.2008 11:15 PM

It changed a bit btw



 


I now have a DOD volume pedal and a SubDecay Prometheus filter.

The DOD volume is after my delay/looper so I can fade loops in and out instead of abruptly turning them on and off. And so I can get the mix just right.


The Subdecay Prometheus is really cool. It does a lot of cool sounds. It does pseudo-tremolo and phaser sounds, as well as weird filtery synthy sounds. Lots of fun. I'm almost thinking about making a smaller board once I get a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power with less modulation.

CHOUT 10.17.2008 11:45 PM

i heard that subdecay pedal, sounds cool...the fembot is gonna be cool too.

shentov 10.18.2008 04:18 AM

i had a Superfuzz and a Big Muff for my bass.
both of them actually got pawned for shit and then the bucks got their usual way up my cracked up veins.

i'd buy those again, though, once I get outta recovery.
all i need for my bass sound is a dredged Muff.

It's awesome, super tweakable and usable.

soapbars 11.05.2008 02:54 PM

something like this:

 


 

GeneticKiss 11.05.2008 06:01 PM

I used to use some stompboxes, but I got sick of tap-dancing, connectivity issues, and before I got a powered pedalboard, buying batteries.

Now I have a DigiTech RP500 multieffects unit that has all the effect I used before, plus some new ones I've wanted but couldn't get because of space issues on the board...

Sonic Youth 37 11.08.2008 10:51 PM

New board, layout, setup (not pictured is Alesis Microverb, as it is a rack effect)

 

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 12.01.2008 10:01 PM

My favorite pedal company now has its own forums, and I'm an admin there.

If anyone would like to sign up, that'd be really cool

Phlegmscope 12.01.2008 10:09 PM

I got me an old and cheap DOD -preamp / multieffect. That and my fuzz pedal combined provides me an assfuck of a fuzz tone for the headphones.

great! i'd have to agree although i don't really prefer there most recent direction in those newish compact looking pedals that are in the same type of case, i actually probably one of the few that like there older bigger casings, they look really cool. a number of my pedals are electro harmonix for the price and sound most of the time they beat out boss, danelectro, digitech, dod, line6... etc.

Sonic Youth 37 12.30.2008 08:18 PM

Messy pic of pedal board. I think I'm going to have to get a bigger one to accommodate the DEM
 

Sonic Youth 37 01.05.2009 10:44 PM

I put one of these on layaway today.
 

sarramkrop 02.10.2009 03:38 PM

 

scott v 02.12.2009 12:41 PM

so i pulled one out of the dust and grime today, my first or second effects pedal i ever got, this was about 15 years ago from a kid that gave it to me because he wasn't using it and thoguht it was crap at the time (and so did I!) and now its considered a long lost relic that rivals many analog delays of the 80's era liek the Boss DM-2, Ibanez AD-9... etc etc.

I'm talking about the Arion SAD-1 Stereo Analog Delay, nice to find some renewed pleasure and use for it after many years tucked away in storage. weird how alot of Arion units were cheap budget knockoffs of their time and then reach admired status of today, i think the Delay may be the only one of the Arion's that is sought after due to its obsolete bucket brigade components giving it its clean warm tone.

Phlegmscope 02.12.2009 12:46 PM

i'm thinking of getting one or two of those behringer analog delays, because of the self-oscillation they produce when cranked up.

nicfit 01.03.2010 05:12 PM

How much does a MXR Carbon Copy go for in the used market in your country (ies)?

nicfit 01.05.2010 12:59 PM

^^^^
me curiuz.

I want to get an analog delay pedal, that's the one which seems most consistent among "modern" ones..to me...if you have suggestions, I'd be interested.
I need a quite "long" delay capability, 300-330ms like older Bosses is not enuff.

About 150-175 new, subtract 25-40 for a used one.

I have this:
 

It was $99 and, though, not stellar, it sounds good and gets the job done.

Sonic Youth 37 01.05.2010 01:25 PM

Most recent purchase was this:
 

Insane sawtooth fuzz. It sounds like the end of the world.

EVOLghost 01.05.2010 01:29 PM

lol that is an awesome pedal.

nicfit 01.05.2010 01:35 PM

my last purchase:

 

uuuh so versatile, bass + guitar lovely sounds.

I saw that some time ago. If I were into buying stuff I don't need (for me, distortion is spelled M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L), I so would've gotten one for the name/design alone...

nicfit 01.06.2010 06:03 AM

There are a lot of "boutique pedals" with amazing names and look. Yeah!

_slavo_ 01.06.2010 06:53 AM


 


This is the most fantastic effect that I have in my gear. It's a custom built and modified Boss PS2 pitchshifter/delay and I bought it a while ago from a dude called Spunkytoofers (easy to catch up on youtube, etc). It's simply amazing!
Can do lots of weird shit live, creates glitches, shift pitches, rythmic cut-ups, twisted delay, even has sort of an internal loop processor ... takes a while to learn how to fiddle around with it, but it's a real blast once you get used to it.

1. rhythmic cutups

2. tonal and synth

3. pitch modification

4. sample section

5. randomizer

6. LFO

7. wet signal monitoring

-14 toggle switches: cut up row, sample and hold row, tonal row, and synth row. use singlely or in combination for flexibilty in sound sculputing and rhythmic breakups.

-1 two way switch: locked or momentary positions that activates extended range pitch knob.

-1 overall extended range pitch knob: from abstractly low to extremely high pitched

-2 body contacts: responsive touch control of pitch

-1 sub mini switch: activates light theremin.

-1 light theremin control cell: cells are picked for best articulation and control over pitch and sound.

-1 switch- loop sample hold. activates sample without pitch control.. momentary or locked

-1 stomp switch: activates pitch control knob and sample hold

-1 vintage pilot lens: the lens shines a bright red light though the lens whenever a sample loop is activated by user

-3 momentary pushbuttons: one low random play back, one high random play back, one cutup random playback with no pitch variant.

-2 knobs: left knob pulls up to activate the low frequency oscillator. left knob turns to adjust oscillator's rate. right knob adjust oscillator's depth

-1 lfo indicator light: new stock vintage dialco soft glow red led with housing to indicate depth and rate of oscillator when lfo is activated.

-1 knob: controls the wet signal into the headphone jack

-1 headphone jack: inputs wet signal monitoring through headphones before sending overall mix into wet effected delay, pitch shifting, and all modified sounds.
