Memory Boy w/ expression, nice long reverb, Akai Headrush E2 for the looped and overlapping textural stuff. Throw whatever fuzz you like i front and thar 'tis. Also, whoever said DMM with the chorus slightly dialed up- gonna have to +1 that

From what I remember of the TAFM, they are totally different birds.
...gah I really want my old TAFM back.

if you come across one of those Digitech PDS 20/20 multiplay pedals, give it a try
can do awesome weird sounding vibrato, crazy or mild modulated delays, flanger, chorus, sound on sound...

I like running my Rotovibe, GT500(clean boost), BMP, Trem, then into an analog delay with med-long delay and mix.

I think that's a pretty solid reflection of the etymology of the word "shoegaze."

Word, if there's only one pedal, then there's no reason to keep your head down.

Might have an opportunity to join up with a band playing bass, and i don't even know where to start on a small (PT mini w/ 3 pedals guesstimate) bass board for this. I will be using a 5 string bass (also looking for recommendations on a cheaper one of these, love my olp 4 string so i'm thinking of picking up a 5 string one) or tuning my 4 string to drop c standard (string recommendations for this???).
3xFx Fatman V2 It's like a muff on the harshest tone setting but with a "dirty" clean blend that just sounds ace. you can adjust the amount with a trimpot inside. I found how it was set up from the shop was perfect. Total sleeper pedals. and you can order them from Tom!
that said I now have to second the Clari(not) as probably the best pedal for teh Gaze. shit's like a weird kevin shields trem arm fuckery in box type pedal on the right settings.

Ha!
Anyway, I don't indulge in the 'gaze myself (since the bass is pretty much the "hook machine" and not "swirly-swirly-fuzzy-fun"), but whatever Swervedriver used for Mezcal Head is fucking ace.
