The Whatever Thread .. For Gear!!

goroth has been selling big chunks of his pedal collection on a swedish website.
What do we make of this?
I for one am not ready to call it treason, but I have shed a few tears reminiscing about the era of huge Dr Sci boards...

could be almost anything. life changes, offloading stuff no longer used, needing money for something else.

If/when you read this, mr roth, I'm sorry, I always liked you!

Of course it could be, but I'm after a silly ILF-take on things here, not logic.

[dubkitty]

if i listed everything i don't expect to use it'd be about that long of a listing. well, maybe 2/3 of that and not nearly as impressive.

Don't you check the Buy/Sell/Trade section of ILF?

Ja, sounds like a job for the Treminator:



https://www.dreadbox-fx.com/treminator/

(No experience with it, has tap tempo.)

So in the end I choose this one to try
After looking into what everyone said (and I appreciate all the suggestions ) the treminator: does seem to be what will work.. the sonar and the fender were high contenders but were ruled out (for now) due to quirks… I will admit size/shape did play a roll.. this is my max for space atm.. I went to the hosa flat ribbon cables and I have things crammed.

One complaint about tremolo demos: everyone’s tremolo demos and I mean everyone, suck. They all suck harder than someone accidentally getting a shop vac hose in their bum. Fucks sake can’t people just turn the depth to max then medium on a slow speed then a fast speed and cycle through the wave shapes? I don’t need to hear the same strumming and noodling over random minor tweaks! Oh look it can be used as a boost… fuck you! If I want a boost I will buy a motherfucking boost!

Speaking of boosts…you may need one with the tremmy as I recall it dropping volume when engaged. Or you know, the auditory illusion of dropping volume due to the nature of trems. Otherwise I liked it.

[Blackened Soul]

Thanks, if I need to add a boost I can add one I guess, might have to hide it under something.. most of the verbiage on the thing made it to be that the buffer dropped the signal 3-4db when the pedal is bypassed.. which is odd but I am going to have it in its own loop so..

Bonus picture of where I am with this setup

Ignor the tube pilot, it’s just being used as a size check for one of the flangers..

[dubkitty]

i listened to a demo of the Brothers thing, and i'm relieved to say that i don't like that sound at all.

which is odd because i have a Bluesbreaker-based pedal--the Animals Vintage Van Driving Is Very Fun--that i like a lot.

Oh yeah, meant to reply.. I’m not hearing a drop.. but also so far all I have used through is was active or hight output basses in the end I swapped it with my moog trem on the moog/synthy board because it fits the vide of those pedals and cv…which I need to play with but man.. that trem chops hard, really percussive although I will admit I don’t think I would ever pay full price for one…

the v2 in my Princeton Reverb, a 12AT7 which oddly enough drives the reverb tank, was going wonky so i ordered a Telefunken tube off eBay for $50. it totally transformed the functionality of the reverb…it’s now clearer in the deep ‘verb but the knob sweep is also altered so it takes a higher setting to get swampy. i believe in Telefunken tubes for reverb drivers because they’re absolutely colorless. i started tube-rolling because one of the 12AX7s, Groove Tubes like all the tubes in this thing, was dying so i swapped in an old RCA and the amp was so much happier that i changed the other 2 AX7s for a GE and a reissue Mullard. unfortunately the GE tube was so microphonic that it made the amp sing along with held high notes so one of the GTs is back in. i don’t have any other 12AX7s better than the GT, only Ruby and EHX and the like. when the next check hits i’ll get a GE or 2 and also some Amperex, those 2 being my favorites. some people say all 12AX7s sound the same, but my ears tell me otherwise. i might also like the AC15 better with better tubeage. i note for the record that the audiophile guys i know online with $20K stereos prefer Telefunken and Amperex AX7s too. i have to wonder just how many old tubes that test good are out there...the Telefunken i just got is from 1961, and i see 50s RCAs and GEs all the time. i guess manufacturers still thought tubes would continue to be the dominant technology until the 70s, especially in Greater Europe. it also seems like tube prices are down from before COVID; in those times you couldn't get near a good Telefunken for less than $100.

i use 11-52 strings on all my guitars and have been mostly playing a jaguar and sg lately. i would say the jag often feels a little too loose and floppy to me and the sg feels just right. had a session on my tele yesterday and the damn thing is too stiff! wondering if i need to try 11-56 on the jag and 11-48 on the tele.

[dubkitty]

isn’t the Jaguar scale 3/4” shorter than Gibson scale?
