Pedal geeks i need u (help jjjusten make decisions about awesome pedals for his store)

FYI: Tell Me All You Know About Delay Pedals

Still love the Moog delay. If I was buying new right now, I'd probably get the Moog Mini delay.

Uh oh might have just added another pedal line (sorta). Looks like dwarfcraft is a done deal.

Also a guy brought a bunch of these into the shop:

http://www.oldschoolfx.com

Not crazy about the graphics (yeah I know I shouldn't care but...yeah) but they seemed super well built and sounded pretty solid as well. Pricing is beyond fair. Do I buy a thing?

and by buy a thing i mean add them as a dealer, not buy this dudes collection, because he isnt selling, he just wanted to make me aware of the stuff. which i always find very cool when it happens, pedal geeks unite etc.

deindexed this for totally self-serving reasons. nothing bad! just caution abt tipping my hand on pedal line stuff since this thread has crept up the googlerank on a few things a little bit further than i would like

I got a bit of a bonus at work and have treated myself to a WMD Geiger Counter for my noise setup. Everything points to it being exactly what I want/need but a couple of reviews of people that couldn't master it gives me the fear slightly.

Oh hey guess who just added one, possibly 2 new pedal lines today.

I'll share the first one although there is still some paperwork hoop shit to jump through - we're about to become a Hammond organ dealer, with no expectation of selling b3s, but because they sent me one of the Leslie pedals and it. Is. The. Shit.

Oh also added greenhouse effects. And now that I have deindexed this thread and won't look like a backtracking shitheel, feel free to ask me why I might be about to add zvex.

Hint: can't stop obsessing with the fuzz probe a dude brought into the shop.

I went to Denmark St and went for the Subdecay Anamnesis modular delay, which I'm very pleased with so far.

Wow. Just listened to a demo of that. It sounds sick as hell and at a great price.

yeah it's great fun and it's a nice mellow echo

Uhoh shittons of pedals this week. And I haven't built my new pedal display yet, so I actually have nowhere to put them. Which means I've crossed the 600-700 count. By a long ways. Putting that a different way - I just did a quick calculation with our inventory program, and if the monopoly dude walked in and bought all our pedals at market value, it would cost $150k.

Might be time to actually start an online store I think.

Kinda drunk, kinda freaked out atm. In a good way! I think.

Oh ha shit I didn't include used pedals in that calculation.

I'm just going to lie down for a bit and breathe into a paper bag brb

i would buy pedals from you via mail order

fwiw i did and it felt good

my pals from dwarfcraft/devi ever are coming into town tomorrow to hang out, so if anybody has any questions for them, let me know. im grabbing the first of some of the dual mode pedals from them (brown/lp and the torn's peaker/aenima) and a couple of one off test models that arent staying in production (war horse and the wolf). then we're going to nerd out and take apart some weird unobtanium pedals ive got in the shop and hang.

also, looks like my friend aaron and i are going to start doing some pedal demos starting in june, thanks to pretty much hating 99% of the pedal demos that currently exist. i'll let you all know when they go live.

jjj, have you ever played with a Geiger Counter by WMD devices? My treat to myself turned up this weekend and I broke it out a couple of hours ago. It's... quite something. I'm not 100% it's much use to anybody except the extreme noise crowd (which was why I wanted one) but it does sound manipulation on a scale I've never heard before. It's a completely daunting pedal, it has so many options, but already found a couple of favourite wave tables.

there's a guy in town here who installs the Geiger counter right into your guitar if you like, cool mod, his place is a little shop but has some good stuff

Music Gear Guys & WMD on-board Geiger Counter dem…: http://youtu.be/JMiWyJ0WLZI

never had a geiger counter in my hands, but ive been curious for a while. i may have overfilled my insanobox quotient with dwarfcraft/devi/idiotbox at this point but its definitely on my radar.

and we are now officially a zvex dealer

Might be time to actually start an online store I think.

I would buy from the jjusten store too.

Hey just for my sanitys sake - tons of dudes asking me to contact Diamond Pedals. I hate to be this guy, but they look boring as hell - that isn't a deal breaker, but is there something cool there that I am missing, or is this the new flavor of praise and worship guitar dudes or something.

went to their page and listened to the samples and holy shit that is awesome

Out of curiosity, have you contacted http://www.acidfuzz.com ?

Hey, I took a bunch of photos after a day of organizing the pedal cases, so gaze upon my madness.

Sorry to peeps getting double loaded thx to my store Facebook feed

I don't think there are any other Chicago people who read this thread but if there are, I went into Rock and Roll Vintage on Lincoln recently and they've done a massive expansion so they're now about three times bigger than they used to be, and they now have a pedal selection that rivals, maybe even surpasses, Chicago Music Exchange. Apparently the expansion was like two years ago so I guess I hadn't been in there in a long time.

Excuse me, "Rock N Roll Vintage"

Haw. I love "WEIRD!"

that is a crazy impressive number of pedals

does anybody here make their own pedals? if so, does anyone know a good and reputable place on the web where you can buy these Mitsubishi ICs that show up in nearly every Boss schematic?

What's the ic part number? I've got a ton of parts in stock, and I know people that know people.

M5223AL?

I'm interested in making the tremolo just because it has some cool parts that I have experience with already:

http://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/s/tr2-tremolo.php

So the heart of it is the M5207L01, which is a voltage controlled amplifier IC. But I'd also be interested in the M5218AL low noise op amps, though I expect it's easier to find a substitute for those.

it's hard to even find spec sheets for a lot of these so as to even determine a substitute

(and I do plan to do something cooler than just replicate a boss pedal after. just have to start somewhere.)

So very much want to build a Wobbulator clone that can also handle the Vox-style repeater sound.

woah, that vox repeater effect is nuts

Not sure if this has been posted before, but what the fucking fuck:

You know, I usually really like when people put their pedals into unconventional housings and that obviously took a lot of work...

Guys

The Dr. Scientist stuff

Holy shit

Your facebook writeups are excellent. I get what they do and you make me want them all.

Thanks man! I keep thinking my writing skills could be well suited to pedal reviews, but every guitar gear magazine is horrible and full of garbage.

Write for Tape Op.

hmmmmmmmm

c&ping this from the guitar newb thread.

Speaking of reverb, jjusten (or anyone else) how do you like the Dispatch Master? It looks like a nice, simple-to-operate pedal with the added benefit of being two effects. Does it lose anything in its simplicity? How does it stack up against other delay/reverb combos like the Boss RV-5 or whatever?

Oh hi

I think the dispatch master is the best small format verb/delay I've found, but I have heard better verbs and better delays for sure. Great board space solution, but if you are picky about either of those 2 effects (they are both better than or at least parity with average) you might want to look at individual pedals.

Tell me about T. Rex please people

They've made me a pretty awesome incentive offer to hop on board, but I've weirdly never touched a single pedal they make
