Current plan is 3: FB-2 -> MF Drive -> Oxide. There's already a lot of overlap between the Feedbacker and Drive though; if the Oxide turns out to be flexible enough I'll pull the Moog.


welp the moog is out and an elements is coming in. my pedal turnover rate is embarrassing. :picard:

Typically these days, two. Though I've worked a third in, maybe....not sure yet.

Going through old pictures of pedalboards, I was averaging around 4-5 for the longest time.

Currently just a Fuck OD --> LSTR (with a sparkle motion in front of both). But I have a Hawk on the way that I'm thinking will replace the LSTR. All SS/BS dirt!

At the moment I just use a fuzz war when playing out.
Anything added before or after it just seems pointless honestly

I think I had dirt make up 5 of my 7 pedals at one point.
3 would be stripped down. Gotta have a rat, something to boost it with, and a fuzz to shove all that in to.

two!

ss/bs Mini (it's just perfect, i don't want any dirt sounds other than this. if i need heavier i just turn up the gain knob.)
Boss FZ-2 (for crazy over-saturated slightly octave up fuzz. it sounds more like white noise than dirt.)

unless you count clean boosts or the subdecay noisebox. then four.

Right now I have an meathead, absyth, into an spack vibes with a prunes and custard after my delay.

But, I am waiting for a special something from jero and a little something from Smallsound/Bigsound in the works (for many months at this point).

I think my dirt is mostly limited by cables and power, but mostly budget... cause I still want more.

Mainly 2:
Germanium FuzzFace (Fulltone '69)
Interfax Harmonic Percolator (Chuck Collins)

The next in line, but currently off-board:
"Reverse" v6 Muff (EHX ca.1981)

A Tonebender mk 1.5 is due to arrive any day now, so that will likely find its way into the mix...possibly even replacing the '69.

I've got a Rouge Overdrive for my stage 2 gain. Stage three is a Hyperion clone and a NYC big muff pi that run together and are triggered by and effects loop. When I want the sound to grind more I'll kick in the Overdrive for my stage 4. Then ive got a idiot box death ray set really low which causes it to do all these super subby warbles when paired with moar dirt, thats stage 5. And i have a Fuzz Factory clone coming soon that'll be my stage 6.

I use two typically, one to fatten up and gritty up the tone of my guitar and one to add crunch and sustain. Usually both are in a TB loop and used as a single dirt tone.

On my current board 5, 2 serve very different functions and the other 3 overlap a bit but not hugely enough for me to take them off.

Normally when I play live I only take a couple of pedals so it'll be Upper -> whatever other dirt pedal I feel like using that night, live I'm not too picky about the exact tone or whatever.

I use two usually.
In one song that we've got written there is a really slow, droney doomy part where I sometimes hit it with three and let it just SLUDGE out.
