Eau Claire Thunder/pedal chaining?!

Post by gunslinger_burrito »

So until today I've ran all my distortion before modulation, which for me is delay, tremelo and reverb. I just tried reversing this, so now the rig is tremelo, delay (DD7), fuzz/distortion -This is where the ECT is- , then last is the reverb. Everything sounds way clearer so far. However, and this isn't a bad thing, the ECT seems to have much more bass all of a sudden. Not overwhelmingly so, but noticeably. Am I hallucinating/making things up, or is there some reason this might happen? Just curious.

Buffer from the DD7? Did you play around with the trim knob?

Yeah, I think it was the DD7. I took pedals in and out till I found it. Though the super high-gain, extra high-end ECT sounds great!

+1 yeah, it is right also here - ECT sounds different (better?) with buffer before it.

i have tried asking this in a few other threads with no answers yet, have you guys stacked it with any other high gain pedals with any luck?

My favorite bass fuzz stage setting: ...Megalith ("More Heavy" is OFF)->ECT... Megalith makes textures, ECT ads compression and additional textures. Trick is to keep Megalith's output as well as ECT input very low.
Other interesting stack can be ECT->RAT. Suddenly RAT's "distortion" knob works also like "resonator"...

the megalith is basically a big muff type fuzz right? i will have to plug my custom green muff into the ECT when schlatte finishes the build...should be fun!

also, i wish I still had my RAT so I could try that. although, you probably have one with the lm308 chip, i just had the slightly better DS-1 version. =\

I guess ECT is closer to Big Muff type/sound than Megalith...
Basic idea behind stacking is that combination of two (three..) different dirts sounds more interesting than any particular dirt pedal alone.
