I thought about it but neeeeh I'd rather be difficult and cave when push comes to shove :thumb:

Time based effects > drives.

Of course this is all relative to me using my Swart and having tube reverb and tremolo on hand :poke: :lol: :yay:

Cool - I didn't choose any of these pedals, but I could definitely do this!

mmmmm.... oh, the prices have gone up a bit in the past five years :lol: have to think... I opt for crazy oscillations, steady oscillation, octaves, envelope filter, ring modulation, phase shifter, delay... What ever else I might get.

Fuzzhugger AB-Synth 160.00
Dwarfcraft The Great Destroyer 175.00
Langtronics Bone Collector 100.00
EHX Small Stone 70.00 or a Green Ringer ring modulator. Pretty sure somebody builds one for that money.

or

Fuzzhugger Pocket Arcade 200.00
Dwarfcraft The Great Destroyer 175.00
EHX Worm 100.00 or EHX Echo1 115.00

or

McSpunckle Samurai Switch 120.00
Way Huge Roing Worm 150.00
Dwarfcraft TGD 175.00
Dirge Electronics Mini Gloom 50.00

I'd take any of those pedalboards on a Fuzzifer gig to make some ears ringing and bash the shit out of the front row audience expectations. There are so much possibilities for making pretty rad nasties with only 500.00.

I think this puts me at 500 based on what I paid for these or swapped for them

Getting some great sounds tonight and none of these were on my main board, which means my main board is way to much monies


and yeah the low budget board gets a crappy cell pic
