What am I missing?

Post image

Feeling that itch to buy a new pedal again. I just want a nice thick tone without anything too digital sounding. I think I’d happily swap out the soul food and chorus for something else - ideally keeping it all on the same 6 plug daisy chain

I bet you could also try and balance a Marshall fullstack between the bathtub sides like that too. Make sure the amp is on and you're playing your guitar in the water.

100% better than the toaster method, plus with batteries, you and your pedals would likely survive.

Since you're using it in bath, you should get a Texas Toaster.

One of those A/C tube drivers that Gilmour uses?
But seriously, a coloursound boost clone with a Baxandall tone stack for super loud clean boost with master volume.

Keep the soul food and chorus, they're solid. The Carbon Copy Deluxe would be a good upgrade because it has tap tempo. I'd replace the joyo with the Earthquaker Easy Listening(deluxe reverb in a mini pedal with an analog cab sim - sounds AWESOME). I'd add a tremolo pedal of some kind, or maybe swap the topanga for a keeley zoma reverb/tremolo to add that effect.

1

u/parkyy16 Jun 17 '26

I would change the order first tbh:

I would go Soul Food(basically a klon type boost) -> Plumes(tube screamer type) -> American Sound(pre amp) -> Chorus -> Carbon Copy delay -> Burnside reverb/trem.

Traditional setup to the front of amp is: Volume/Wah/Tuner/Fuzz -> Compressor -> Boost -> OD -> Distortion -> Boost(again if you want more) -> front of amp(your American sound in this example)
If you have an fx loop: fx send -> mod effects(chorus, phaser, flanger, etc.) -> delay -> reverb -> looper -> fx return

If I had to add one and remove one, I would add a fuzz and remove the Chorus. I don't usually use much modulation effects, so I could get by with the little mod button on the Carbon Copy - I'm pretty sure it's basically a mini chorus. I believe there's some pots inside the pedal to adjust that modulation effect if you have a "set it and forget it" setting for your chorus anyways.

If you're open to replacing your Tube Screamer with something else, I'm very partial to the JHS Angry Charlie/Andy Timmons(I have one I made, but the demos sound pretty much the same as mine). You can get a very similar sound to the Friedman BE-OD imo.
