  • Picked this up last year.  Debatable whether it’s worth the money, but it’s badass and I haven’t found a clone that can match it.

  • I have been glancing at that Boss Katana 50 for a few days and late last night one was posted on Facebook Marketplace that looked practically brand new for $170. I didn't send a message about it

Meh, what kind of spare would have this disheveled board full of old beat up pedals? Oh yeah, Eric Johnson

What’s the one lower left with the face on it?

I believe that’s the Catalinbread Echorec

What a noob, rolling with that Echorec. Hasn't he seen the new hotness, Strymon Volante.

(For real do, seeing EJ with any sort of digital modeling would be a sign of the end of days and we would have to prepare accordingly.)

Every board needs two Belle Epochs.

Man, what i wouldn't give to be able to play like this dude. My favorite pedal reviewer on youtube. What a monster player.

 

Saw a really badass bluegrass band on Thursday, the Lil Smokies. Two of the guys were using these preamps, which I'd never heard of. If you're in the market for a bells and whistles preamp for your acoustic guitar, upright, banjo, etc., these things sounded awesome.

STUDIO QUALITY INSTRUMENT PREAMPLIFIER / DI / EQ

Like its big sibling the FELiX, ALiX is built into the same roadworthy floor unit chassis, portable enough to throw in your bag or strap to your pedalboard, but still deliver studio quality sound to the stage. With the same stunning audio performance and legendary reliability as our pro audio range, ALiX brings open, musical and nuanced sonic character to any performance situation.

The same powerful eq section as the FELiX allows simple and intuitive tone shaping. The high pass filter cuts 12dB per octave from 20Hz to 1kHz, and can also be set as a notch filter for chasing down problem feedback or rumble areas. Parametric midrange covers from 70Hz all the way to 8KHz, and fixed low and high controls are carefully voiced for musical shading of bass and treble.

Cleaning out for the move. Any interest in any of this stuff?

Once in a while I get an itch to try a cheapo vibe-type pedal, but it usually goes away after a while.

I was looking recently at the Moen Shaky Jimi, Nux Monterrey or the Amoon Kokko Vibe. They all sound pretty cool, but a little different. Not sure which sound I prefer or what I would even be going for.

 

 

 

I have never had good luck with a pedal tuner for tuning. They work great as a kill switch though.

I have some off brand pedal tuner that I like but I'm going to get the smaller polytune for my small board. This Pedaltrain is a just slow, display is clunky and hard to get just right.

Have this incoming. Needed something to make it easier to remember ideas while I'm just screwing around on the sofa or out on the deck.

Please let us know how it works. Looks like a simple and cheap way to record ideas.

Will do.  Reviews seem good, and it was price-dropped to $69. 

That's a pretty nice little groove by Andy there at the beginning.

It automatically names your riffs for you? No way, man. I don't need my pedal judging me.

Love my Polytune. I only use my Snarks for acoustic now.

That Wiretap is nifty. Someone, maybe Gibson, makes a cable that does something similar.

I finally got one of those little clamp-on tuners a while back. It was cool for a while, except now I can't find it.

I'm imagining it assigning names like "you suck" and "please stop" to whatever I record.

Snarks are cheap, get a few

I have six of them. They're 8 bucks. I'm too lazy to go to another room to grab one, and sometimes the batteries get low, and I'm too lazy to go for batteries. Moral of the story is I'm too lazy.

(I also leave one in my Tele and one in my LP case, so I know I'll have it with me.)

This.

 

Batteries are the asswhip though.

 

Won't take up much space on my board.

At a Bowie celebration right now. (Google it). Think this must be Charlie sextons board.

The big sparkly thing is a Durham pedal pretty sure. Also- for deej et al- someone is rocking a Supro

The new Supros are really fantastic.

Charlie’s pick. Such a nice dude.

I bought this used for $40 from a dude on Craigslist. Man, this fucker is underpriced and underrated. $79.99 new. Kind of reminds me of a RAT but with additional range. I use more lo gain ODs almost exclusively but this shit is great for getting your classic rock, ACDC, Sabbath, Britishy-stack shit on.

It's basically a modded Distortion+ circuit is my understanding.

 

Edited by Grandioso

Oh, I also bought Super Badass a couple weeks ago. I know a couple of you cats have that one.

This demo is genius. 8 of the MXR distortion/OD boxes and explanation of their circuits or what amps/players they are emulating. I like how they aren't shy about straight admitting that the GT-OD and Prime Distortion are modded TS and DS-1 clones. 

 

 

How do you like the super bad ass? I have one but haven’t used it much since I bought the La Grange. Which is the best Marshall I’ve ever played btw. [emoji41]

It kind of reminds me of the Fulltone Catalyst, which could give you like 20 different sounds from boost to OD to distortion to fuzz, but nothing really achieved a sound above "very good." It tries to do to much. Still, I'm keeping this thing for sure as it's a blast to play with and costs next to nothing. Also, tbone, I found your next OD.

I've got the Custom Badass '78 Distortion.

New small pedal board setup. Had to take the Shaggy Screamer out. Too many balls for our current setup. Put the Mojo in it's place. Added the Phase 95 for some Tom Jones stuff. 9e4d5cb89845e0c0cca3c4ba8f46a8af.jpg

random question for you pedal nuts...any of you guys happen to know what type of pedal gary clark jr is using to achieve the tone on the song pearl cadillac?

Are you talking about the FUZZ sound and not the lead guitar tone?  If so, he uses a Fulltone Octafuzz.

not the fuzz during the chorus, but the bridge and solos.  is that just guitar?

Edited by sidis

Pedal talk about 14:50.  Guitar and Zen Drive it looks like.

Vibrato setting on my Boss Waza Chorus is pretty nifty.
