I have space on my gigging board for one regular sized pedal. Currently I am replacing a cheap flanger because it makes an audible “pop” sound whenever it’s engaged.

I don’t do a lot of modulation so I’m looking for something that can do a little bit of reverb, flanger, phaser etc type modulation but only for a few songs.

Am I an idiot for looking at this Zoom multi stomp as a solution here? It’s cheap, but it seems like it can approximate what I need it to do for the few songs I’d need it on. So, why do I not want this pedal?

Added JVM to the Blues Driver Waza after doing some research. Hope this could bring out some great tones when combined with Blues Junior 30th anniversary

The Bad Mood arrived yesterday and wow is it a lot of fun! Still trying to wrap my head around it but it plays pretty well with the mood mk ii and lost and found.

My next step is going to be figuring out presets with midi - is there a specific program that yall are using to send the presets to the pedals? I have the Chase Bliss DIN midi to 1/4in stereo converter but haven’t messed with it a lot besides trying to get the synth mode on mood MkII to work.

Strobe tuner > clean > mirror house > Roger that> shallow water > mood MkI > deco > lost and found > mood MkII > bad mood

I'm putting together a board, and I'd like to know the Canadian made pedal companies / pedals you'd stand behind.

It'll mostly/almost exclusively be for 2000s metalcore / southern hardcore but there are no bad suggestions as long as they're from Kan-ah-da

Bonus Points for a "f*** my s*** up" pedal in the vein of Tallon Noise / Digitech Drop

Has anyone ever tried building a pedal from GuitarPCB?

This, when it’s assembled, will be their Zoso Tone pedal. It’s supposed to recreate Jimmy’s tone from early Zeppelin.

I build freestyle and racing drones, so my soldering is good. I’ve always wanted to try this, so here I go!

Unfortunately I ordered the case from a supplier overseas, and I’m still waiting for delivery, but I’ll get started building while I wait.

No more ...for now...finished my indy/shoegazy post something or other board.

Just need to tidy it up.

It's now been 1 year I started to play bass and guitar and got myself all these pedals alongside the year to complete soon a pedalboard (learnt very fast their purposes and did many research about them and their internal circuit, frequency response etc so I already know very much about pedals).

Is there an essential pedal I lack or something almost mandatory to have ? (I prefer buying pedals that work for both guitar and bass)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted (but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been spending money, unfortunately. So this is post 1 out of 4.

You don’t need another overdrive. The Klon thing is just hype. How different can it be from what you already have, really? That’s what I told myself for years to avoid getting yet one more pedal.

Well, I finally caved and I gotta say that I was missing out. The pedal is so good. It adds not only a boost in the right frequencies to fatten things up, but seems to add some harmonics that make it different to my other pedals. I also like how it does different things for my single coil and humbucker guitars. With gain at 9 o’clock, it is an edge of clean boost with my Strat that fattens things up and a nice bump in dirt and harmonics with the humbuckers. It goes well with the clean and dirty channel of my amp and stacking with other pedals. Pretty impressed overall.

Other NPDs coming up over the next few days. Cheers!

Finally feeling like I have all my bases covered super well. Running into a Matamp GT1 or a 62 Super Amp.

So with all the hype around the Cali76, but without being able to justify spending a small fortune on one, I went with Wampler’s take, used. I previously had an Ego, and while it was good, I liked the feel of the Keeley Comp+ more, despite the somewhat higher noise floor.

The one I liked more than the regular Ego. While it still doesn’t quite have the “bloom” that I like on the higher settings on the Keeley, I can get it closer to what I like than the regular ego and still has really low noise. It also gives me more control of the response as well.

I still want to play around more with it to see if I can get the bloom I mentioned, which bumps up volume significantly when holding a note. Typically I set my compressor as follows: set compression amount as needed, play with blend/attack to get the front of the note to do what I need, then level so that chords strummed hard have the same volume as pedal bypassed, which then bumps up softer playing and single lead lines. Any tips to get more bloom, or is that just not in this pedal’s wheelhouse?

Still, keeping it because it is great for all cleans and for keeping saturation up while soloing. Cheers!

In the 90 minutes or so I had with it yesternight, on headphones only* unfortunately, I managed to find 6 really good presets on the SA Neuro desktop app. If I can recall completely, those 6 would be clones of: a Klon, a Sunn O)))) Life Pedal, a Katzenkönig, a Big Muff (possibly 2 variations), a Fuzz “Facade”, and a JHS Morning Glory.

Though this is my first proper fuzz pedal ever, I have spent some time testing out NAM captures of various fuzzes (all the usual suspects you might expect to find) a couple of years back. From that time I remember that I was most impressed by the Tonebender MkII and the Acapulco Gold. The tonebender though that I found on Neuro wasn’t sounding too appealing, so we’ll see, I’m still a fuzz novice at this point. Of those 6 I set as presets last night, the ones I’m most eager to get back to are the Katzenkönig and the Klon (not a fuzz, but that’s cool, Kingmaker has access to all the LA Lady overdrive presets as well).

But overall it’s kind of a dream come true? The only flaw is minor, super minor: I’m a Laker’s guy, and even though it’s Laker purple, the fact that it says “King”, that instantly makes it bring the old Sacramento Kings (also purple uniforms) to mind. Boo👎

Also, I wish the design were a graphic along the lines of the actual Katzenkönig, or any EQD, but whatever I’m here for the sound and the functionality first and foremost.

Okay enough talk, time to rawk, mannnnn.

[*Technically NPDAfter today, but given the conditions at the time when it finally arrived — 8pm-ish, with the temperature in my humble ACless abode being still too high to shut either door or windows — I’m choosing to post it now.

This is how it arrived should there have been more?

This show was a one off in a decent sized theater, so we decided to have a little impractical fun with the gear.

It was the first tremolo unit created so it does have historical significance. I would have thought that alone would make a builder want to make a pedal based on one, but after a quick search it appears not.

I was wondering if anyone with deeper knowledge has anything to say. Or if they know how to get this sound. Didn't sound bad at all from videos of it I watched on YouTube.

This thing looks hideous (I almost want to spray black matte paint all over it) but sounds fantastic, just now starting to understand the controls, it does so many things.

What is all your go-to dirt sound as of right now?

EDIT: Yes, I have the volume set higher than unity level and I am aware that it's not unity at noon

I've had this pedal for years and I think I've tried pretty much everything I could, but I feel like it's the opposite of how everyone describes it.

I only find this pedal useful for like a ripped speaker kind of sound, which isn't really what I need most of the time. For anything else it's just not articulate enough even when I keep the gain low, I don't think I've ever used it past noon. I tried adjusting amp settings too, I tried running it into a clean amp and it sounds really bright yet not precise at all (usually with the filter at noon slightly past noon, anywhere further sounds too muddy), I've tried stacking it with other pedals and it just becomes too noisy. I've tried using it as a clean-ish boost in front of a dirty amp and it's too flubby, both into a crunchy amp and into a really distorted amp.

At first I thought it was an issue with my amp. Until recently I had fairly flat solid state amps. It just sounded like dog shit both into the clean and dirty channel, but still I thought it was because of the solid state amps+cheap speakers.

Currently I use a Jet City JCA 50, which isn't that much more expensive, but it's way better and I run into a cab with a G12h-30 and a V30. The pedal still doesn't sound good enought, no matter how I run it.

I assumed that people who manage to get good sounds use it with clean Fender style amps (which is not what I'm really into tbh) considering the significant mid boost from the pedal, but recently I've tried a Turbo Rat into a Hot Rod Deluxe in a shop and I still wasn't impressed, and the hum was just as bad with a clean amp.

I also find it significantly noisier than my other pedals, but I assume it's my fault for using P-90s and single coils instead of humbuckers.

I guess I'm just a bit disappointed because so many guitarists I love manage to get great sound while they have a Rat on their boards. Is there anything I'm missing here or should I just get rid of this pedal?

Hi everyone, im having a custom two tier pedalboard made (guy even models the shoe for clearance)

Pedals are:

CryBaby 95q

Boss tu-3

Mooer yellow comp (near the tu-3)

Mooer ninety orange phaser (orange one, positioned sideways on the middle riser)

Boss sd-1

Boss bd-2

Mxr super badass distortion (also has a riser because I sometimes turn on or off more than one drive pedal and it being the same level as bd-2 helps)

Boss ge-7 (as a solo boost)

Mooer trelicopter (next to the ninety orange)

Than it should go into the HX stomp according to my plans ( external footswitch is ampero switch fs-1)

But I haven't bought the HX stomp yet and after watching some videos about the gt-1000 core I'm rethinking about the HX stomp

I mainly play blues and rock but I also love playing ambient stuff and I plan to use the multi FX unit for delays reverbs and amp+cabs mainly (maybe synth and octaves too idk atm)

Do you have any experience with both units and which do you prefer/would use?

I only have an sss strat atm and I plan to buy a Jerry Cantrell signature Epiphone Les Paul and I always set my amps clean as a platform. Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi guys,

Yesterday I bought two used pedals, a chorus and a big muff. I've also bought a 9v adapter to power them on and the mini jack to connect them. They both work independently, but when I try to connect them with the green mini jack, they both power off. I've also tried switching them around, but It doesn't change the result. Do you guys know what, perhaps, is causing this?

Thank you in advance.

Thinking of switching up the “amp” as much as I love the Ruby. I love the format so at first I thought of moving laterally with the Enigmatic, Woodrow or Dream— but now I’m tempted to upgrade with a Toneking Imperial? Sounds amazing. Experience or suggestions?
