the Guitar Pedal Thread
Ballard:
So I got a Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazarai.
It cost me an arm and a leg.
I'm starting a Mogwai/The Album Leaf type band with a friend and we had our first jam today, and this thing is fucking spectacular. Totally worth it.
Patrick I win now.
DMart:
So, the second hand music shop near me has a Boss OC-2 (octaver) going cheap(ish), and I was considering getting it. I play bass, and there seem to be a fair few favorable reviews on HarmonyCentral from bass players using it - but then I discovered it does 1 and 2 octaves DOWN... does anyone know if there's anything in that sort of price range that can do 1 octave UP? I've done a bit of a search, but haven't come up with much.
Caspian:
I just got a Vox Cooltron pedal. It's a pretty cool distortion pedal, adds a pretty massive amount of gain with both channels turned on but also seems to do some decent crunch tones too; not that I can really say I've ever wanted/needed a crunch tone.
king dan:
anybody else here make pedals?
I've made most of the pedals I use, a top range booster (trying to emulate the tones of Brian May's rangemaster), an MXR + disortion clone, and a DOD gonkulator clone.
Working on a delay but it never works, its carcass has been lying around for weeks...just bought one from Electro Harmonix finally. Experimental mosfet based distortion pedal is next!

The cheapest are the Digitech Whammy, which does pretty much any octave in any direction, but attacks your chords with a chainsaw-firing rocket launcher, and the Electro-Harmonix Micro POG does octave up and down, and you can mix and match the dry, octave up, and octave down signals with the three pots on it. Makes rad organ, 8- or 12-string bass sounds. POG stands for Polyphonic Octave Generator, so it's good with chords as well as single notes. Overall, if you just want octave up on single notes, get the Whammy. It does so much more with single notes than the POG. But, if you're into chords, get the POG.
I had to edit it because it puts + one as "I have nothing of value to add" when I meant octave up.
