Cry Baby Wah
and a random crappy mutli-effcts pedal that I use once in a blue moon

I have a few other pedals that are chillin off the board, but these are the main ones I use.

I like your rainbow colored power bar. If it were mine, I'd end up unscrewing it and looking for gold inside

SpectralJulianIsNotDead,
What is your verdict on the French Toast? Do you dig the octaveness?
It just won out over the Fender Blender on my main board - in some ways, it sounds better.

I love the octave mode. It sounds really awesome being pumped into the muff. Also sweet on bass. The volume drop is annoying, but it isn't an issue in octave mode, only in straight up mode.

I never use it in non-octave mode. Maybe I should try it. Sounds great pumped through my DBM - used it tonight.

It isn't worth bending over and switching it. It just lacks the clarity and roar that a big muff has. Mostly because it doesn't increase the volume.

yeah, how is it volumewise? should i go for it?

here's some of it...

missing in the shot is the roland space echo...

rock on!

Pat.

feck thats nice. vintage muff,mmmm...

haha, very similar gear!

i want all those pedals
:(
i only have one and it kinda sucks...

i want to get a sovtek small stone and a daneletro tremolo.

edit: i might get another fuzz pedal

which one do you have?

vintage phaser is gone :(

you got pulsar and muff drive?

just how rich are you?

are the green sovteks better than the others, i.e. the us version or the vintage ones? i've had some of the old ones, roland phase 5 and jet phaser, but i'm not really much of a phaer guy. i might consider getting a nice old MXR or Coron i have for sale locally.
i mean back in the 90s i got one of those huge green sovtek/EHX big muffs, but sold it when i got my vintage one. now they're priced sky high...
i ask cuz a friend o' mine is selling his green sovtek small stone.

thanks!

Pat.

well, theres not much difference exept that the switch on the vintage one isnt true bypass. the vintage sovteks really look nice.. i heard that the boxing was made with old recycled tank parts. how cool is that?

The Green Russian muffs are said to have a great sound, more mid heavy from what people say - some prefer them to vintage US muffs. I was gonna get one the other day, but it was gone when I got to the store.

Just got this in the mail today, $38 ebay score. Opened it up and it dates from late '80:

Sold the Vintage Small Stone in anticipation for the brand new Polyphase which is more Phase than I'll ever need - sounds awesome.

Apparently the guy from Placebo bought my old Small Stone when they were in town recently. I wanna see recent tour pics to see if he's using it on his board.

Had the Pulsar for a while, and the LPB1 is probably what your talking about.

Rich? I make about $17,000 a year. That is by no means rich in the US. I just don't spend my money on alcohol and weed.

currently:

on bass: boss bass chorus, ehx big muff, boss pedal tuner (<-not fx i know)
on guitar: ehx big muff, boss dd-6 delay, boss pedal tuner ,
mxr blue box, danelectro tuna melt tremolo, danelectro pepperoni phaser.

ohh okay


pretty awesome

It is pretty loud in octave mode, but putting it before another distortion helps if you are playing with a full band...For the price it is an execellent pedal for octave distortion. I recommend it - but like with nearly all octave (up) pedals, the octave sound comes out primarily when you are playing above the 12th fret, and sounds best with the neck pickup on or your tone turned down.

thanks. i dont know yet, and how is it without the octave?

Just a regualar distortion, kinda muddy. you can hear it on SpectralJulian's guitar track on the recent collab.

meh, ill miss that one for now, i need a new amp and im saving up for a jazzmaster

Well, it drops the volume slightly from your clean, but it sounds great if you run the octave mode into the Big Muff. It is also pretty good for recording. It is so cheap, I'd say yeah.

The dano trem is also pretty cool too. I had one and traded it for the french toast, still slight volume drop- but that is just because of the way tremolo works. For that very reason I want one of these:
it is a bit expensive, but it has a built in boost to get rid of the volume drop, it's sine wave is voiced to sound like a Fender vibrolux, and the square is voiced to sound like a Vox repeater (plug in effect that Spaceman 3 used to use.)

I'm probably not gonna have one for a long time. My current aspirations are a polyphase and a DD-20, as well as korg dt-10. I think then I'll be off pedals for awhile because I want to work on getting a car and getting a jazzmaster and maybe an epi casino (my friend has one that he never plays, I might make him an offer on it, I figure he'll sell it to me cheap because he got it cheap.)

BTW, there are a bunch of cool bends for your DS-1. We did bend A to my friends that seems to make the distortion a bit better, and also makes it oscillate at the highest gain settings. With a dano fuzz or distortion like his grilled cheese (which we destroyed looking for bends) or my french toast on before it (which generates does something cool to the signal) and then a chorus after it (might work with tremolo infront of it) we got cool police siren noises.

Actually, those were built into the guitars. I have a Vox guitar with fuzz and repeater on-board, and Sonic Boom's has them as well (different model, same FX). They did sell them as a separate unit for a while though. I love square trems a lot.

Yeah, they were also built into guitars. We had a discussion about your guitar a long while ago. One of those is on my long list of stuff to get. But I'm only 21. I've got a long life of gear collecting ahead of me.

Cool. I was just reading somewhere about another trem pedal with a slight boost when engaged, makes sense. The Pulsar has a slight drop dammit.

My uncle has an original 60's Casino, and tons of other cool shit.

Those guitars have become ridiculously expensive in relation to their actual quality. I always wanted a teardrop-shaped one, but I think I will probably never have one now. They are really really cool and sound great and all that, but they were budget instruments in their day and I have a hard time paying close to 3000 bucks for an instrument like that.
This is one department where being old has worked to my advantage, because I bought mine when there was far less interest in the brand and style than there is now. It was 379 bucks!
I barely use it anymore, but I don't think I will ever part with it. Much too attached.

DUDE! :eek:
i REALLY dig your band! been trying to find the "right" people to do something like that, but down here in puebla (mexico) it's really hard... *sigh*
i see you have a Hondo II les paul... i have one like that, but MAN it's a POS. did you put new pups in it?
rock on, great stuff guys!

Pat. (gettin' ready for tonight's gig - Ciudad Enema's last one this year...)

Dear CHOUT,

I will be having your blue box now. Mine is broken and you have no need for yours since you got the Fender Blender.

Yours truly,
Danny.

Anyway, in recent news, I have stopped using my effects pedals. I haven't even missed them. I dug out my phase shifter (boss) the other day and had some spacey shit going on, but I can't find practical use for effects besides trying my hand at some SYR shit. Bleh? All I really need is a wah/vol now and I'm set. Maybe some fuzz. And one of those leslie emulators. Hmm.

Actually, I haven't had anything done to the Hondo II, I was just lucky in the one I got being really good. I've owned 3 different Hondos, currently just 2. One is a neck-through and the black one is a set-neck. I'm pretty convinced that if a Hondo doesn't have a bolt-on, it must have had more work put into it. The pickups in both of them seem fine, the ones in the neck-through are higher output and have more of a modern feel to them, but I like the ones on the Hondo II's, seems to have that sort of vintage aged feel to it. I need to try out some guitars with p-90s though, because I hate the way brand new non aged humbuckers sound, and find most strat style pickups to be too thin. But I love the way Casinos and jazzmasters sound.

no effects huh?















SEND THEM TO MEEEEEEEEEE

new noise tool

what's that?
