NPsD: Holy shit christmas came early - a bunch of rad pedals

now... the Tone Machine has been here for a couple of days already, but these are the new pedlulz i (basically) just got

Image

now.. the Tone Machine is a clone with a momentary octave footswitch, i believe i've already mentioned it elsewhere... got it from fuzzmax :)

The weirdly shaped box is a Fuzzrite that I had put together as a "last minute" thing to go with the Reverb Machine :) I just wanted to try something new... however, as cool as it sounds, it's probably not the right fuzz for me :idk: I can imagine using it for specific sounds, especially when recording though... I'll play some more with it and we shall see what happens then...

now the Reverb Machine :cool:

no, it's not enlarged... it's really THAT HUGE :lol: Taller box even...
The first concept was a reverb tank with controls in a pedal, but due to technicalities, we decided to go with a long Belton brick. Controls are Volume, Feedback, Gain, Low, High, Dwell and Mix :) as you can imagine, that results in quite an array of sounds... So far i'm loving a bit trashy verb with more treble and less bass... as i only got it an hour ago, i'm still a bit fighting with balancing the controls and how they influence each other, but yes, I am absolutely stoked :) Should i want to drown or just add a bit of ambiance, it delivers

My thanks go to Fuzzmax for the Tone Machine that i dig so far and which i'm looking forward to trying with the band AND the awesome Schlatte, who made this wild idea into reality :)

We're gonna need clips of that verb :poke:

Also, momentary octave is a sweet idea.

well... clips :( currently i'm playing through a tiny valve Vox with a 6,5" speaker :D so I don't know, man... but I MIGHT record a few quickies before a rehearsal in a few days... we shall see :) if possible in at least passable quality, i'll provide something :)

yeah, the momentary switch is totally sweet :) It was already built that way and it's absolutely cool with me... we even have a song where it's very helpful

Happy NPD. The verb looks killer!

LaoWiz built me a badass FTM with momentary octave switch, really nice feature, like a 2-in-1 fuzz box now as a result. Really dig that pedal as well.

Coincidentally, I immediately thought "Fuzzrite" when I was wondering what I might put into one of those weird enclosures. Those others look rad too...good taste man :thumb:

Very nice man, beautiful playing too! :)
That reverb sounds great and momentary octave must be amazing too.
I'm really curious about the Fuzzrite as well, haven't tried one yet but it seems pretty cool.
