Would love to hear input on Elvis Telecoms question. Thinking my next pedal purchase will be along those lines.

I'm still pretty sold on the micro pog/pog 2 side of things for clean octave gen. If you want warble, hard to beat the earthquaker organizer/pitch bay.

The Frankensteins! I just want a pedal with that switch on it

I want one of those Freakenstein's Dwarf pedals so you better get them.
Wonder if I could play the Igor pedal by clamping it in my mouth...

oh by the way, guess who got brought in to do a pedal symposium at a guitar festival in saint paul
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Tuesday, 8 July 2014 18:54 (nine years ago) link
symposium is such a fancy way of saying "nerding out in front of a crowd re: pedals"
Aaron?
Just kidding. Hope you tape that shit!

so not going to happen. pulled the order because those dudes can not get their distro together at fucking all. plus honestly i got less interested the more i listened to them
and in todays moment of blasphemy spent a bunch of time with the strymon flint we got in and uh. idgi. something in there hits my ear very very much in the wrong way. similar feel to the dispatch master like i mentioned upthread - cool to have both in a single box, neither side measures up to alternate stuff i have in stock (ok, the verbs are decent, but the trems are subpar. maybe im just spoiled, idk.) no offense to dudes that dig it, just does nothing for me.

I know you can't judge by youtube clips, but I really dislike the sweep sound on both the Fig Fumb and Trashy Blonde. I like the idea though.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 8 July 2014 22:27 (nine years ago) link
However, by that same poor metric the PDF-1 is a really nice recreation of that Moog MPF-1 sound.

― niamh 1073 (electricsound), Tuesday, 8 July 2014 22:46 (nine years ago) link
I can't help but hear the name Strymon in a cod-Jamaican accent. Earthquaker Afterneath Otherworldly Reverberator sounds completely nuts. A little heavyhanded on the naming side of things though.

Advice please. If you were looking to increase sustain, what pedal would you pick? Something like the Doctor Green's Life Support seems to look like a good effort, but I'm not sure about the autocompression. If heading down the compressor/sustainer route, is there anything to be gained beyond adjusting distortion pedals elsewhere in the chain?
Has anyone ever tried a Sustainiac?

i dig opto compressors, do you have a mooer dealer in your area? the yellow comp is pretty awesome
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Wednesday, 23 July 2014 19:19 (nine years ago) link
I have a nice MXR compressor pedal that I've never understood how to use properly.

xp to NA - is it the dynacomp? those things are pretty brick hammer effecty compressors, they do the sustain thing but are very audibly compressed.
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Wednesday, 23 July 2014 19:29 (nine years ago) link
It's the '76 vintage Dyna Comp, don't know if that's any better.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 23 July 2014 19:30 (nine years ago) link
Do compression pedals go at the beginning or end of the chain, generally?
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 23 July 2014 19:33 (nine years ago) link
placement is to taste and depends on your chain and what you're going for. I know of players who keep a comp on both ends (not nec both on at the same time)
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 23 July 2014 19:39 (nine years ago) link
Guess I need to play around with it more.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 23 July 2014 19:42 (nine years ago) link
Mooer Blue is a CS-1, yellow is a Diamond, right? Feels like it might work. The Warden looks great but I think $200 is probably more than I want to spend on a compressor.
Dyna Comp is noisy (in a bad way) and not what I'm looking for.
So, I just need to find a Mooer dealer. I think eBay has showed me in the past that China and (bizarrely) Australia tend to be the cheapest.

I got a loan of an AdrenaLinn (original model) from a friend and it seems... interesting. Though I have no idea how to use it. Maybe a month of playing around with it will allow me to do something other than accidentally trigger drums and occasionally produce wacky sounds.

yeah that thing is a dead on Mosrite Fuzzrite silicon V3 clone (the one with the 2 orange encapsulated circuits. sprague?), but unlike the fuzzrite there is actually a range between off and total fuzz annihilation. We did a head to head comparison and i swear, blindfolded you would not be able to tell the difference at the max gain setting. i love that pedal.

still dunno what I'm doing with this. The same friend also loaned be a Tonebone Trimode distortion. It sounds very very nice. A little too nice. I have no space for such well-rounded hi-fi tones in my music.

Yeah, I think it would work really well in some of the radio-based stuff that I do. (The plan would be to artifically 'age' live radio broadcasts.) Also you should be able to get really controlled glitching from it.
