i borrowed a bunch of pedals from guitarist friends for use as outboard effects for my samples & synths! Rat, Saturnworks bypass feedback loop thingy, old Boss distortion, whammy, etc.

what's the best choice for power - 9v adapter with w/splitter cables or rechargeable batteries?

probably the former

na (NA), Tuesday, 31 January 2017 21:07 (seven years ago) link

I always went with the adapter

1-Spot all the way. Depending on 9-volt batteries in a gig situation fills me with groove-crushing anxiety.

Oh the pacmanity (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 1 February 2017 13:55 (seven years ago) link

A 1-spot with daisy-chain will do pretty well up to a point, but you will want a separate power supply for the whammy.

thanks guys. i already got this, should work too?

Possibly? Looks analogous to a 1spot, so I wouldn't see why not, but then it also has a ton of bad Amazon reviews.

The Whammy might or might not work, depending on which version it is. The Whammy 5 uses DC power. Previous iterations used AC power. In my (limited) experience with them, pitch-shifter pedals have introduced a lot of extra noise into my signal when I've powered them on a daisy chain like that. May depend on your personal tolerance for noise.

how did i not see those reviews :(

change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 1 February 2017 18:06 (seven years ago) link

yeah sorry to chime in late but i recognize that power supply and it is garbage (and potentially damaging). send it back and grab the one spot pack, should be 35-40 but it's worth it.

Here, let me Danesplain that for you (jjjusten), Thursday, 2 February 2017 19:24 (seven years ago) link

Thanks, I'm sending it back today, no harm done! Found a local store I can grab the 1-spot from, ahead of a bunch of recording this weekend.

Oh i love that Pigtronix pedal

fgti, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 14:30 (seven years ago) link

one month passes...

Man, I'm sure Pigtronix makes fine pedals, but sheesh, that brand name. Just can't get past it.

Been a long time since I posted in here, so this is the hole that I've dug for myself since last time:

Boss RV-6 Digital Reverb
MXR M300 Digital Reverb
Jim Dunlop EP103 Echoplex Delay ——> MXR M199 Tap
MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay
MXR M269SE Carbon Copy Bright Analog Delay

Also upgraded to an AC15 somewhere along the way there. In addition, I purchased a used Moog Minifooger Analog Delay from Guitar Center, but it isn't available for pick up until 26 April. In any case, I fully intend on continuing forward with all six delays once I'm able to go get it.

I have no friends, by the way. Just go to work and then come home and play.

Austin where do you live?

we should have a dedicated 'what does your gear look like' thread really

stanley weebeard (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 5 April 2017 15:32 (seven years ago) link

and not just because i've just bought a sweet shoreline gold fender jaguar, honest

been there, not done that (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 5 April 2017 16:33 (seven years ago) link

I live in Huntington Beach. Work in Lake Forest. Very close to a Guitar Center in both instances.

Austin, Thursday, 6 April 2017 03:16 (seven years ago) link

I almost splurged with my tax return and bought a Jaguar, but enh. Would rather explore more pedals.

TOAN IS IN THE FINGERZ MAAAAAAN

So if you've got any questions about mojo hand or Greer, fire away. Or anything else really. Also, I'm finalizing an exclusive circuit with Stomp Under Foot, and it's going to rule. Version 2 Black Russian muff with an added mid control.

jjjusten, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 15:15 (seven years ago) link

any word when catalinbread are going to be releasing the belle epoch deluxe jjj?

Dudes, any thoughts on EQD's Avalanche Run? It looks like an absolute beast of a delay/reverb pedal, but I haven't talked with anyone who has played one.

TrumpPence a Bag (B.L.A.M.), Thursday, 13 April 2017 19:45 (seven years ago) link

had one, liked it a lot, sold it to buy a timeline and i miss it :(

I bought a soldering gun to work my way up to building an amp - anyone built any of the BYOC pedal kits and have a recommendation?

El Tuomasbot (milo z), Wednesday, 19 April 2017 05:32 (seven years ago) link

I've built a mouse and an overdrive 2, the former was simpler with fewer parts but the latter was easier because I knew what not to do the second time. Both were super fun and I know I'll eventually build more at some point.

Apologies for the triple zing post there

Thanks, the mouse looks perfect for me.

El Tuomasbot (milo z), Thursday, 20 April 2017 18:19 (seven years ago) link

I think they still throw in a free confidence boost on your first order if you ask for it? Might be a checkout code?

jjjusten, Thursday, 20 April 2017 18:40 (seven years ago) link

Oh also Digitech Freqout has arrived and holy shit is it fun.

Was checking out H9 demo videos when I ran across this beast: The Hoxton OWL http://hoxtonowl.com

I'm digging this current wave of open-source sound-wibbling. The patch library (and demo videos) are damn impressive. I can't fund $400 on another sound-masher and I certainly can't take on another new programming language when I'm already dealing with three. I hope someone in these parts gets some face time with one.

Follow-up: I got one and it's spectacular!

Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 26 April 2017 21:20 (seven years ago) link

I had a feeling you'd end up getting it. Glad it's as cool as it looked.

Also, as you can see, I traded in my butterscotch blonde Tele some time in mid February for a super classy white one.

The Moog delay is absolute heaven.

i don't regret selling my AC30 but i sure do miss it

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Friday, 28 April 2017 04:37 (seven years ago) link

The Moog delay is absolute heaven.

Cosigning on this. I've had a M-104Z somewhere on the board for just about ten years now and despite the size I just couldn't find anything that was quite like it until the minifooger version came around.
