Help a sista out

Post by Yadig »

I'd like to complete the rest of my pedal board. I'm stumped and stunned by option paralysis.

I have two open 9v taps on my power supply. Right now I've got a strobo tuner going into a obne minim. Next is a bitquest and ssbs fuck od. Finally my last pedal is a 720 looper by ehx. What two other things would you guys add? I'm just thinking maybe a ssbs buzzz or something. There's a lot of neat brands making beautiful and interesting sounding gear. I'm a big fan of dual switch pedals. I love when an effect has a function that changes the sound up a lot.

I play a guild t bird, gretsch semi hollow, and jazzmaster into a bandmaster and vibrolux. I mostly play weirdo garage rock with some post punk and noise stylings. I'm a fan of clarity and I do like noise stuff but ideally it should do more than just that. I'd like to keep it around 200 for each pedal and hopefully something that's not on an extreme wait-list. Thanks comrades. :!!!:

Well, uh, there's some cool Bananana pedals in BST right now at that price point that will definitely change the sound up a lot and could be super cool with the looper.

But it might be easier to give you some valuable ideas if you had some idea of things that you want to achieve with your board that you currently can't?
good deals are here.

I'm a big fan of Fuzzrocious, so maybe their MOTH pedal or one of their other fuzzes with the octave jawn mod?

Right, that makes sense. My first post I should have drafted some more info into. I think I'd like the first pedal to be a fuzz pedal. I'd like fuzz to have some midrange as I think fender amps lack this and I can get kind of lost with all the fuzz and delays and weird stuff I'm doing with the bitquest. Is there a fuzz with a mids control that can do a nice cutting tone? If it has a second switch for oscillation or some other weird effect I'm interested in that greatly.

I'm not even sure for the second effect. I was thinking about a whammy but it's way too big. My rig is actually compact the way I set it up. I don't own a ton of guitars or amps and I keep it as minimalistic as I can.

I like octave effects and can do that with the reverse of the minim. I've never really been happy with a super fuzz but I was thinking the ssbs buzzz would be great. The fuck od really blows me away. I don't want or need any kind of overdrive after using this box.

Whammy ricochet? Pitchfork+?
El Diablo Harmonic Equalizer HEQ?

I’m with the Laowiz cystech suggestion from Goroth. Love that pedal.

I only recently got my Laowiz Cystech, but it's really fun and definitely diverges a lot from the Fuck OD, even giving you some good fuzz tones.

Oh man.... I'm really loving the stomping stones virus. I think that one is something special. The richocet would be a possibility for my second pedal. I'm not sure where I'll be going with that one because like I said, option overload with lots of builders making beautiful things right now.

I don’t know if I have any amazingly unique suggestions, maybe an HM-2 clone with a mids control? Or something with an HM-2-esque active tone stack to really cut through the mix. I love the XIX HMD-1 (I may have mentioned this more than y’all suggest the elements?) but I don’t think they’re being made atm

However I am looking forward to watching that Behringer Super Fuzz secret mode video tomorrow. What’s the secret? I have to know! (It’s probably boost mode :grumpy: )

Cool rig,I'm curious to hear what you do with it. Are the bandmaster and vibrolux in stereo or are you just switching them out?

If you are playing in stereo, I'm going to suggest two things: EHX Mod Rex and Erica Synths Acidbox III. Different from anything you have at least . . . . and two amazing boxes. :hobbes: :hobbes: :hobbes: :trippy: :trippy: :trippy:

Yes stereo with an aby radial. I run the vibrolux darker and broken up and the bandmaster is clean and chimey

Like it. I'm guessing you would have a lot of fun with either or both of those boxes I suggested, especially if you put them stereo
