Which modulation pedal with the Dirt Transmitter

Post by vickman »

I just love my Dirt Transmitter, in combination with the Speaker Cranker. Which modulation pedal of EQD works good with the Dirt Transmitter and do you use. I have tried some MXR (chorus, flanger and phaser) pedals, but somehow the suck in the pedalline. Give me some inspiration.

The Dirt Transmitter isn't the easiest with modulation or stacking for that matter I find.
Best of luck on using modulation with fuzz pedals for me so far has been with the Deluxe Pitch Pirate and the Cosmichorus, the Cosmichorus is amazing with fuzz.
good deals with: the_brow, phantasmagorovich, alexsga, DarkAxel, goroth, The Wood Wizard, Tendollarcat, vbps, monkeydancer, intothegroove, Brobee

INCORRECT. The MXR flanger (big one) is one of my favorite pedals and it works well with everything and that is a fact! No, it sometimes is a little weird. I prefer it pre-dirt if that matters at all. It gives fuzz a nice swirly texture underneath. Not a big fan of it for lead-y playing but it's great for chordsy schtuff. I would maybe think the Grand Orbiter :idk: or Sea Machine :idk: it depends what you're looking for

I just put my transmitter back on my board. I think it works great running into the sea machine, grand orbiter, hummingbird, dt with modulation and the ghost echo. Those are all the mod pedals I'm using at the moment. What don't you like about the transmitter and the mod pedals you have tried?

I love using chorus set slow and all flangery after my Dirt Transmitter. Gives it a cool synthy tone.

i loved running my DT into my amt electronic wh1 wah. very harsh but awesome sounds.
used to run a phase 90 and a sibling phaser before it with great results as well. i think the DT can definitely eat your sound, but just cut through in a mix in such a unique way.
fuck i miss mine..

:no:

Sad.
Anyhoo, not a huge modulation guy but I've found the DT (like most/all EQD) to stack really well...but there's a HUGE range of sounds in the tone and bias controls, and it definitely can overwhelm other pedals.

Lately I have been running Upper Jr.>Dirt Trans>Monarch and it's absolutely :success:
Special low-frequency version.

I run an ada flange into the DT with the bias around 9 o'clock it had a gnarly talk box/shitty keyboard sound I love it.
