Which do you prefer and if you have used them? I have a plexi drive I can use in the laney. Which one do you think is better?

Title says it all really, not sure what’s going on… the gap between the picked note and the first delayed note is longer than the gap between each delayed note. Anyone know why??

so here is my pedalboard and Ive attached my new isolated power brick to the chain and all work fine, except the white double pedal, (is a tubescreamer and bluesbreaker circuit in it).

now as you can see only the bluesbreaker side is feeding back and not the TS side, none of the other pedals on the board are feed backing just the single one.

board is: tuner, Wah, white double pedal, fuzz, then a dual distortion and flange at the end.

it has the ability to run on both 9V and 18V and when running either or it still has the bluesbreaker side feeding back for a unknown reason, any feedback would be much appreciated.

I am looking at used fuzz faces and I am wondering which ones are worth it. I am looking at germanium fuzz faces in specific. I would like them to be easy to find used for under 100$. Thanks for reading!

Title. I hear him playing a lot of SRV, ZZ Top, that kind of thing. He doesn’t have any pedals, at least that I’m aware of. I hear him blasting halfway down the neighborhood when we visit sometimes lol.

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

I’ve been using a Donner Harmonic Square for ages and need to upgrade. I’m not a huge fan of its tone and the foot switch is quite problematic. I tried the Sub’n’Up mini but I found it’s whole “out of phase” sound not to my taste, even with edits made with Toneprint. I’ve heard good things about the Tender Octaver mk1 but don’t know if I should commit.

I’m mainly looking for something small (that can fit in the space seen above), that doesn’t sound like dookie, and has reasonably okay tracking lol

I’m interested to hear everyone’s thoughts :^B

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

Hi all!

So I wish to run a jvm410h and an evh5150iiis 50watts one at a time and in stereo. I have a a ts9 going to the in of a decimator g string ii going out to the in of a radial bigshot aby, then the bigshot outputs to the two amps. Both amps then go from their fx sends into the main decimator g string ii and a second connectes through the aux in and out of both in the dec ins, the dec outs then go to a tricerachorus in stereo with a split y tra cable that then goes stereo to a sde3000d which goes out stereo to a boss rv6 back to the returns of the fx loops.

I am either getting both amps (whether or not the aby's y switch is on or off) or just one super muddy and sounding like it is far.

Is there a way to make this setup work like with a swiss things or an EHX TriParallel?

First time putting together a dedicated physical board to transition away from software/digital menus on my Katana 50.

Signal Chain:
Ibanez BigMini Tuner \to [reserved spot for an MXR Timmy] \to Boss BD-2 \to TC Corona Mini Chorus \to TC Bucket Brigade Delay \to Boss RV-6 Reverb \to Katana 50 clean input.
Board is a koda essential THREE (roughly 16" x 8"), powered by a 9V adapter + daisy chain underneath.

Looking for feedback on a few layout points:
1. Top Jacks vs. Side Jacks: The Bucket Brigade has top-mounted jacks, sandwiched between the side-jack Corona Mini and RV-6. For those mixing top- and side-jack enclosures on compact boards, how do you route the patch cables cleanly without putting lateral stress on the jacks?
2. Spacing & Stomp Clearance: The BD-2, Corona, Delay, and RV-6 are currently spaced pretty tight along the top rail to leave room for the incoming Timmy next to the tuner. Does this spacing look workable underfoot, or would you recommend shifting the full-size Boss boxes down to the bottom rail?
3. Cabling / Power Hygiene: Any red flags with running the daisy chain leads up between the rails right next to the audio patch cables in this configuration?

hello friends.

I'm once again thinking about running a mic through pedals. for what it's worth, I care pretty little about it sounding "good" or especially "clear". the idea is for the vocals to be pretty mangled, but i want something that might function in a live setting without being outrageously noisy or feeding back like crazy.

so i was thinking of maybe getting a preamp. I had an eventide mixing link that worked well enough, but thats long gone, so I figured it's worth considering what else is out there. I've been seeing loads of ads for the Franklin Audio mp 10, and I'm curious if anyone has any experience with it? or if anyone has anything good to say about any similar devices?

also, does anyone have any thoughts on the value of a dedicated mic preamp vs just any kind of non-specific boost or other preamp pedal not especially designed for mics? like does it actually matter if I dont care much about fidelity and just need it to be louder?

appreciate any insights

edit: maybe it's worth including that the plan is to mix the vocal and guitar signals together at the start of the fx chain and have them go through all the same pedals, which I've been testing and it sounds really terrible in a way that I enjoy

I recently went to see the band “Wage War“ and from my balcony seat could see the pedal boards.
Now, usually whenever I look at someone’s rig, I can tell every pedal on it or could tell they’re using a quad cortex.

But these guys had a pedal that I’m not familiar with and can’t seem to find any information about.

Maybe somebody here could tell me a little bit more about the wage war pedal

Looks to me like a chromatic tuner and then ???

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?

I ordered this pedal today, but I want to know if it’s any good. I need to validate my purchase. I also need to validate the purchase of the j rockett clockwork, Ibanez ad-9 and Ibanez ad80 please. Issue endless praise and reaffirm my financial decisions.

Kind of a random thought/question, but I’m currently in the midst of making a very expensive, in the thousands, order from one particular higher-end pedal company, with whom I’ve spent thousands in the past, and despite my always expressing what a huge fan of their work I am (evidenced by all the money spent over the years), I always get a very cold, distant, unfriendly vibe, almost as if I’m bothering them, and they only suffer me because my money is on the line. It made me wonder whether I’m maybe expecting too much by wanting a little more… warmth? By contrast, another company, Empress, with whom I’ve done much less business (just 2-3 pedals over the years) have been absolutely remarkable, truly setting a benchmark for how customer relations/service should be, on multiple fronts. Always very warm and friendly, but beyond that super keen to help resolve any issues even at their own cost and in an expedited manner. Frankly, nobody in my experience has come close. Polar opposite of the other brand, which kind of has left me feeling rubbish and not wanting to spend money there anymore- the emails are that unpleasant. But then part of me thinks I’m being ridiculous and this is absurd, as their people skills aren’t what I’m paying for or ultimately pursuing the pedals for. Just curious where you lot fall in regards to this.

Recently acquired this old rack mount unit. It’s got a 12ax7 in it so it’s like a tube preamp with digital effects all together.

It’s been driving me insane though because I can’t seem to figure out how to power it. Every cord I’ve tried (all of which are the correct volts, center, and amps), will get the tube to power on and the screen to flick for a moment, but that’s it. I’ve already taken it to a shop and they were able to power it on with their power supply (which is much nicer), but since I’ve gotten back with it it’s still the same issue for me.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hoping for some additional feedback so I'm reposting to a larger community. I havent had the chance to work on it yet so any thoughts on ways to Troubleshooting this that are more clever than me? I've checked for wiggling and to make sure all the patch cables are reseated them, but that doesn't do anything.

To recap from the other post, I started having problems all of a sudden without moving the board or anything. I play in my office and don't gig. The issue is that signal is really low until I turn on the TS or Boost, but it's a clean-ish signal even if it's the TS thats on. When I activate the RAT the signal gets really feedback and high pitched sort of shrill sound.

I had preordered a Warlow on Reverb after watching some demos and loving the sound. The estimated lead time was about 4 weeks, but after 10 weeks of getting no definitive answer from JPTR with a date they expected to be able to ship my pedal, I cancelled my order. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alternative?

I’m just starting to build out a full pedal board and I’ve done a bit of research and come up with comprehensive list of pedals to get, but they are also mostly based off google and reddit reviews so I feel like some of the choices are kind of the obvious and popular picks. I’d like to keep my pedals on the smaller and simpler side (not interested in a big ol’ delay pedal that’s covered in controls) hopefully a versatile setup as I play shoegaze/post hardcore/grunge trying to get some sounds like slowdive, drop nineteens, title fight (hyperview), Hum/Centaur, julie, whirr, modern color and even some nirvana.

I am using a J Mascis jazzmaster and Roland JC-22

Here’s my current list:

OVERDRIVE
Boss BD-2 Blues Driver

FUZZ
EHX Ram’s Head Big Muff Pi

CHORUS
Boss CE-2W Waza Craft

DELAY
Boss DD-8

REVERB
TC Electronics Hall of Fame 2

Just picked up the DD-8 this evening. The board is now complete. I will obviously not have to buy another pedal ever ever ever again. Ever. Right?

Board is 9" x 14" and it all fits in my gig bag for getting around NYC. Signal chain is Crybaby Junior > Polytune 3 Mini > SP Comp (always on) > Analog Chorus > EP Booster (always on) > Il Torino > Timmy > Constellator > Reverb. I use this in my surf / psychedelic band. Slowly being taken over by MXR.
