What's the best standard sized non fuzz pedal?

Post by 01010111 »

I have room on my board for one more pedal, mxr sized but no boss stuff (height issues). And I'm really at a loss as to what to get.

Current pedal board runs 4545>ccdc>ring thing>ex7>wolf computer>mini Gnomeratron>(insert pedal here)>ghost disaster

I was going to put some kind of tremelo in that hole, the ultimate tremolesence looks amazing, but I'm not sure anymore. I would just leave it alone, but that empty space just bugs the shit out of me. Give me your suggestions ilf.

I'm a big fan of the Semaphore as far as trem goes. The standard (not the fancy stereo one which is certainly GAS - worthy) version is MXR sized and sounds fantastic.

I'd say Semaphore, tasty little tremolo that one

Or maybe a couple' the little Malekko omnicrons?

Yeah the sophomore is great. Square/sine wave switch and volume knob are a must for me. But after readin that thread on the ultimate tremolessence I don't think I can even look at another tremelo without comparing it to the good doctor's.

those omicrons are great, but I still would only be able to get one in the space I'm looking at. When you get all the patch cables running in and out of them they really aren't much smaller than a standard size. But that omicron fuzz and vibrato have been tempting me for a long time.

Do you know of any pedals that when you listen to them you say to yourself 'there's no way this sound can be equalled in strangeness, amazlingness or superpitude.' in other words the craziest standard sized modulation available to humans on this planet.

The Dr. Scientist isn't quiteee as small as an MXR Enclosure I beleive, he's moved to 125Bs for his Ultimate Pedals which are slightly Taller and Wider than an MXR 1590B Style.

Sounds like you're asking for something Mid-Fi if you want strange Modulation in a small package.

Maybe a different flavor of delay? The new line of TC Electronic pedals look pretty cool and I think they are the right size.

Those Zcat pedals are so cheap, their micro-pog-a-like pedal caught my eye, but the cheapness puts me off a bit? I wonder if anyone has any experience...

This thing is cool: Image

Delay with infinite-repeat "Hold".. sounds really cool: http://www.zcatpedals.com/clips/holdhold.mp3

I'm guessing it is digital, and a one-trick pony, but really neat effect.

PM Doug, he's doing first batch now, offering it for $175 to ilf members. Thread in the Mid-Fi forum, "New proto with demo" something like that.
