Uh...

Whats with the computer mouse?

Maybe i want to surf the net and play guitar at the same time?

It's a psudo-expression pedal for the FM4. It switches between heel down and toe down positions on an expression pedal.

The muff has various tone-stack mods, the behringer phaser is TB'd and the slide switch for color was turned into a stomp, and the RC-2 has the footswitch mods done to it.

It's s Mellowtone Melxowtone. It's a fuzz.

Updated board.

Also dude, how is the carbon copy analog delay? I'm thinking about getting one so your thoughts would be nice.

It's nice, modulation is kind of bland. The oscillation is way to strong also. But the delays are pretty nice.

I'd wait for the new Malekko delay that has mod, or the EHX Memory Boy if i were you though.

Well folks, I've come to a decision. My next pedal purchase will be an MJM Brit Bender (three-knob version).

From what I've listened to, it's one raunchy, fuzzy motherfucker. I'm hoping to order one from PGS within the next few weeks.

HEY PATRICK, I HOPE YOU HAVE AN UMBRELLA FOR YOUR JAGUAR.

I am actually back in Albania already, but thank you for your warning.

Also if I were to live in southeast Alaska without an umbrella I'd be fucking stupid. Rains like 250" a year or some shit.

I guess you should just let Chris borrow it, then.

I'm hoping the mailman has this bastard for me today. The guy mailed it out Priority early Saturday morning.

Tonebenders are crazy. They've got this sweet vintage sound.

Oh god, GAS attack. I might be getting a Devi Ever Hyperion fuzz, instead of the French Toast.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #511 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 08:48 »

Man, I just watched a demo of that on YouTube. It sounds nasty as hell. Like, seriously cool, crazy, sputtery fuzz sounds.

valley_parade · « **Reply #512 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 08:59 »

It'll nail the Fu Manchu fuzz sound I love so much, without spending $130 on a Superfuzz.

And THEN some. Devi Ever builds some fucking serious fuzzboxes.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #513 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 09:38 »

For sure.

valley_parade · « **Reply #514 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 09:46 »

I guess someone PMed the guy before I did. He's trying to sell me on a USA Big Muff for $10 less than retail, shipped. It's not a bad deal, I'm looking at taking it.

edito: Put a deposit on the Big Muff. Fuzzbox problem: solved

Watch out for Andy in Nova Scotia as well.

Then again I guess living in Nova Scotia is like getting jizzed on every day anyway.

I can just flip it if I don't dig it. The guy I bought it from was debating sending it to Keeley to get it modded. Anyone have experience with his stuff?

imapiratearg · « **Reply #527 on:** 09 Mar 2009, 10:37 »

I haven't personally, but I've heard nothing but great things about his stuff. Swap the clipping diodes and the chip and turn it into a RAT, man.

Dammit! My window is covered in something that looks like - OH FUCK YOU.

Anyway, to make this post relevant, I have a Zoom G1X that does whatever I tell it to do. Plus I had a giftcard so it only cost me fifteen bucks.

My board. Look at that poor abused tremelo:

You got some fine pedals on there, my friend.

Ballard · « **Reply #531 on:** 09 Mar 2009, 23:08 »

You will now go fuck yourself twice for posession of two Devi Ever pedals (one of which is an Effector 13 model not being produced anymore).

imapiratearg · « **Reply #532 on:** 09 Mar 2009, 23:15 »

And a third for having a Swollen Pickle!

You jerk.

I love how it just says "trem" and has no other markings at all.

Also, it has Jag knobs.

I have more, just not on the board.

Guys my board is a tangled mess. Suggestions?? I also need to pop a fuzz off it and get something different on there...

You know what? I actually like it stock. It kinda sounds like my Guv'Nor without the fucking 4 band EQ that sucks any hope you ever had of treble. I can get the punk tones I want out of it, and for that reason alone, I'm keeping it.

edit: Fuck you, give me that Shoegazer.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #537 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 08:16 »

They've definitely got a unique tone, but it's just too harsh for me.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #538 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 10:35 »

They just reissued the Swollen Pickle and I snatched it up.

Seriously though, I'm not a huge fan of the Shoegazer and might just go back to using the RAT. Wanna trade?

valley_parade · « **Reply #539 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 10:45 »

All I have that I would trade right now is a Guv'Nor 2. =/ Maybe my DS-1.

Patrick · « **Reply #540 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 16:03 »

Today, I plugged in my DD-20 for the first time in months. Previously, my pedal lineup had just been amp FX send ->Tonebone -> Dano Tuna Melt (tremolo) -> FX return, and both of those pedals are true bypass. That DD-20 is digi-bypass.

I noticed the FUCK out of that tonal difference.

The good news: I have a buddy up in Alaska who wants a DD-20, so I'll probably sell it to him cheaper than they run nowadays, and I'll use the money to buy a true-bypass delay unit, preferably analog.

Any suggestions? Note: I want something so that I can twist the delay time knob and the fucker will start chirping at me. That is my favorite use of a delay pedal.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #541 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 16:14 »

The BYOC delay does that. Just build it yourself.

Patrick · « **Reply #542 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 16:20 »

They even have a link to a dude who pre-builds the fuckers for $50 extra.

Even if I sell the DD-20 at a loss, I will be able to finance most of that thing. You've made me a very happy little man.

sean · « **Reply #543 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 19:15 »

Hey thats the delay pedal i want! Does the dude who makes them for a bit more draw on them too? Cause that would be kind of lame.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #544 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 19:16 »

You could also look into the MXR Carbon Copy delay.

sean · « **Reply #545 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 19:19 »

I dunno about the carbon copy. It seems to oscillate really really fast. I need to spend some more time with that puppy.

Ballard · « **Reply #546 on:** 10 Mar 2009, 21:33 »

Woah woah who's trading a Shoegazer for a RAT?

HI PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.

billiumbean · « **Reply #547 on:** 11 Mar 2009, 00:54 »

The bypass signal getting robbed of its tone could have something to do with what A/C connector you use on it. I hear Boss makes the power supply fucked up because they want you to buy their power adapters and only their power adapters, so if you use a OneSpot, that could be muddling it.

I know that probably isn't the case, since Boss makes some pretty shitty pedals and this could be no exception, but it could have something to do with it. I have a DD-7 and I love it, so I'd hate to see you give up a good pedal just because of a simple hardware issue.

edit: Wait, fuck it, get the clone, for the love of Jesus, get the clone.

He might, but I'm not sure. But since it is bare metal you could easily scrub it off.

My DD-20 came with a Boss power supply included, so it can't be that. I never really thought it mattered until I plugged that fucker in yesterday after months of solid hardwire-only equipment, and then I was just like "...oh god, that is definitely missing something." I'm a convert now.
