What should I add to my pedal board?

Post by JoshBernstein »

Hey everyone,
Ive been purging my pedalboard, and have some space for a new pedal. Can be anything, big or small (just not mini pedals, I hate those things).

Right now I have:

Jext Telez Dizzy tone OC44 black glass

Sola Sound/Colorsound Power Boost 9v (being mailed to me now)

Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl Mkii

Mad professor Deep Blue Delay

(Also have a spaceman titan ii, which i am trying to get rid of, so doesn't really count)

Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Josh

I like to spread out pedals so that, when furiously stomping at a gig, I can't hit the wrong thing. If I had to add one thing to what you've got, it'd be a wah, a phaser/univibe, or a ringer-type octave pedal.

A flanger might be cool, any Ideas for good place to start? I've had a couple univibes in the past but could never get a sound I really liked out of them. I use fuzz in a different way than most, generally for lo-fi indy-ish/alternative music. Is one of those big box electric mistress's any good or should I look elsewhere? I love big box pedals

Electric Mistresses are good, but I really like 4-knob Japanese flangers from 1980s. :idk:

They're usually not too expensive. Can be found for $100 or less.

I am a really big fan of the Boss BF-2 flanger. Goes from borderline chorus to intense sweeps to fixed notch filter. I don't think I'll ever get rid of mine.

You could also check out the EHX Polychorus which would have Flanger plus delay and chorus built in to mess around with.

I would snag a reverb of some sort. I'd look at one with various modes like a boss RV or TC Hall of Fame.

Bitquest. Throw it before the delay and use it as a reverb, fuzz, flange, ring mod, etc, etc, etc.

Actually, throw it before the WV. :snax:

Going to second the bitquest reco- everything it does, it does well (it does a lot).

And a mtl.asm count to five.

Bitquest could be cool.

Personally I like reverb too much to not have it, same with count to five. Or get another cool fuzz of some kind. I recently got a fuck OD and I am very very enamored by it.
