Street Sweeper- it's a Phaser controlled by the expression pedal (manual phasing).

I really do need a bigger board. The power supplies are also off board and i want to add a volume pedal, second expression pedal, a few more other pedals and I want go also get the whammy + midi controller on the board.

I'm still looking at that small stone and that pedal next to it, I don't think I've ever seen an original one ... what's that pedal next to it ? To the right.

Oh and where does it start ? What's first in line ?

fucking LOVE that book.


It took 7 years and 2 Boards ... and then someone gets it !

I'd like to thank Shoogar ... and Purple ...

lol. that book is so fun, then the reveal conversation at the end is just fucking BEAUTIFUL.

and thanks for reminding me how much i like it, just found out they FINALLY put out a Kindle version.

BEZ = BEZ Effects (Be Easy). really nice guy that did this gnarly phaser either in a wah enclosure or a stand alone box. it had this neat distortion at some sweep settings. sadly, they weren't around as long as one would hope.


That seems to be the story with a few manufacturers I wish were still around ... make one epic effect, then dissapear ... Anyone remember Snarling Dog and those crazy Wah pedals ? All my youth spent GAS'ing, hiding under my bed while paging through Guitar Player Magazine when I was supposed to be at temple with my dad ... those pedals looked like the craziest thing in the universe when it took me 2 months to save up for a DS1 ...

When I got my first DS-1 I took it to school the next day, I didn't even have an electric, I had a polish acoustic guitar I plugged into an AIWA stereo ... through headphones, the Ds1 made it sound like the T-Rex from jurassic park

Then my dad beat the shit out of me for stealing the batteries from my mom's Walkman

The green russian (Sovtek) one isn't really the original small stone. Fuzzbro "DarkAxel" on here has an original V1. All ehx first started in the US and the whole russia/soviet thing came a little bit later me thinks. But don't quote me on that...

The pedal on the right of the Small Stone is a Muza FD900. It's a chinese Delay/Reverb pedal with 4 presets. It has a ton of different delays and verbs and is very versatile because you can set it so you can switch through the presets with the footswitch and you can use delay and verb simultaneously. So it basically is always on and you can circle through the presets. I have it on the first preset pretty much all the time (which I set to a plate reverb) because my amp doesn't have any reverb. The other presets are short washy delay with washy reverb, long washy delay with modulated reverb and reverse delay with reverb normal room verb.

The plain silver pedal on the left of the Small stone is a DigiDelay.

Chain is:
Polytune - Fuzz Factory - FB Loop (Whammy(Molten Midi) - Fish 'n Chips - DFX9) - 2nd voice - Mini Fuck - MXR Fullbore -
Algal Bloom - Bacon Booster - Street Sweeper - Muff - Boss PH-3 - Muza FD900 - Sovtek Small stone - Digidelay

But I think I'll move the 2nd voice to the beginning of the chain again... right after the polytune.. liked it better that way.

HI EVERYONE I'M NEW TO THE FORUM AND TRYING TO GAIN A BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF PEDAL CHAIN ORDER. I'VE BEEN USING A E-H BASS BIG MUFF FOR YEARS BUT I'VE ACQUIRED A FEW MORE PEDALS AS OF LATE. SO HERE THEY ARE IN THIS ORDER
(1) CHEAP NO NAME WAH (2) IBANEZ LU2O DIGITAL TUNER (3) E-H BASS BIG MUFF (4) BOSS ODB-3 BASS OVERDRIVE (5) BOSS DS-1 DISTORTION
(6) ROCKTRON HEART ATTACK BASS DYNAMIC FILTER. SO IS THIS RIGHT??? OR WRONG??? I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE MOST OUT MY EFFECTS AND SOME TIME SOON I WANNA ADD SOME KIND OF SUB OCTAVE, A COMPRESSOR AND A NOISE GATE BECAUSE THIS THING WILL NOT STOP SCREAMING

Welp, kinda forgot the Yerasov 9000V in there...

Polytune - Fuzz Factory - FB Loop (Whammy(Molten Midi) - Fish 'n Chips - DFX9) - 2nd voice - Mini Fuck - MXR Fullbore - Yerasov 9000V -
Algal Bloom - Bacon Booster - Street Sweeper - Muff - Boss PH-3 - Muza FD900 - Sovtek Small stone - Digidelay

Fixed it. So yeah.. the Mini Fuck is and OD and the Yerasov is kinda set to OD/Distortion...

What's going on here? Inquiring minds want to know! :poke:


Guitar into pedals, which are hooked up from left to right (MASF Possessed, Pitchfactor, Soundblox Pro Multiwave)
Pedals into Line 6 Filter Pro
Filter Pro into Alesis Akira
Akira into mixer channel 1
Ipod and Kaossilator 2 into mixer channels 2 and 3
Mixer main outs into TC Electronic Fireworx
Fireworx optical out into my recording interface

The mixer is a Behringer DDM4000 DJ mixer, it's actually a really fun piece of gear that's much simpler than it looks. It has an assignable crossfader, and 2 fx sections, which can be assigned to any 2 channels including the main out, or chained together. The fx are surprisingly good, and include a really nice bitcrusher, and midi/tempo-syncable modulations and delays. There's also a programmable ultramizer (compressor/sonic maximizer) button for the main output.

The TC Fireworx is basically the blueprint for the Axe FX, and has crazy pitch and synth stuff, bitcrusher, foldback distortion, all that cool shit TC never puts in any of their other jank. Great studio reverb and mastering presets too.

The ipod is loaded with free drum, synth and sample apps, and years worth of recordings from my external hard drive. Tons of homemade beats and soundscapes, made with all the shitloads of gear I've bought and sold over the last 10 years.

Still getting the hang of the rack units. I have to keep the manuals handy just to figure out what I'm doing most of the time...



Going through your post I started off like this ...

OK HERE IS WHAT YOU DO, FIRST OF ALL, TRY TO PRIORITIZE THE DIRT AT THE START OF YOUR CHAIN, UNLESS YOU ENCOUNTER BUFFERING ISSUES, WHICH YOU SHOULDN'T AS MOST OF YOUR STUFF LOOKS FINE HANDLING IT. GOOD JOB PUTTING THE WAH EARLY ON IN YOUR CHAIN, WAHS CAN SOMETIMES BE A HASSLE TO FIGURE OUT, I'D TRY THE DS1 IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS TO COUNTER SIGNAL LOSS.

WHAT CABLES DO YOU USE ? INTO WHAT AMP ?
