JD posted:Thanks, great ideas. I'm not really looking for Hendrix tone though, he's just my biggest influence in my playing style. I know most purist will kill me over this but, Joyo makes a "vintage overdrive" that is a really good clone of the OCD and 1/5th the price.

duckfarts posted:I was about to post about this actually; I got the Joyo Ultimate Drive recently, and that's supposed to be the OCD clone. I haven't heard an actual OCD before, but this thing is fantastic if you want a nice fat, warm crunch and it's only 30 bucks, which is loving ridiculous. That might be right, might have them confused. But, what most people say is that they are shoddy construction. But, it is steel and I imagine as long as you dont abuse the switch it will be fine. Like I said, purist hate them. But if you are considering buying a OCD, I would at least look into it. To put it bluntly, if I was thinking about buying a OCD, I would buy the JOYO without thinking twice. edit: Talking about this, and wanting a chorus pedal, I went ahead and bought the JOYO analog chorus.

It felt very cheap, though not as bad as a plastic Behringer. it's the same concept of epiphone/squier, they stay in business because out of every 10 there are a few that are very passable and when people hear those they buy into it. I have looked into it alot and for the most part people like them once they get past the name on it.

Declan MacManus posted:You could also just use a blank panel and attach the pedals to the face of your rack with velcro. Or just put them on top of your rack I guess I would second this, you dont damage anything and really if you cover the whole bottom of a pedal with velcro, it is not going to go anywhere. You could put it sideways and carry it and they would stay attached. ( not recommended but, I have done it before ) Jam2 posted:What { hardware | software | signal processing components } can be used to create the vocal effects used in this performance? That sounds like a soft chromatic pitch correction (auto tuning) alot of companies make vocal pedals. I have the boss ve-20 and it can do that and then some, well alot more.

yeah I meant a buffered volume pedal. So how would placing a buffered signal before the tone sucking volume pedal help? I can understand it after it a bit more, that seems to make more sense to me. I have a few buffered pedals sitting around but I feel like most of those suck tone too, seems to be just a no win. besides the buffered volume pedal or mod

Declan MacManus posted:Basically the buffer increases the impedance of your guitar signal and helps it to overcome the tone suck. You can also use a treble booster. I have a clean boost, would that be good nuff for running in front of the volume pedal? thanks for all the help!

Agreed posted:Yes. A buffer is usually just a simple op-amp or a simple transistor set up to run at unity gain (+1), so set your clean boost at unity gain and it will act as a buffer. It may not have ideal characteristics like the aforementioned very high input and very low output impedance, but if the pedal maker did they job well, it should. sorry I am very laymen here is gain+1 just an ear thing or a certain point/mark I should focus on? that being said, is the eb jr any good or is there any recommended volume pedal I should look for at the same price mark range.

Looking for a decent octave pedal, I heard the microPOG and POG2 are really good, also saw someone playing a Trex Octave pedal and it sounded sweet. Are there any other suggestions I should consider? I would like it to be able to handle chords, also bass/guitar friendly.

Sounds like the microPOG is what I should grab, do you think it would be able emulate stuff like this on bass? I am not entirely sure but I think they use an octaver, on some of their records they do a chimey synth like stuff which I THINK is just an octave up? any experience or opinion on the OC3?

Scarf posted:I can tell you right off the bat you won't be able to get that sound from the MicroPOG alone... You'll need some kind of dirt/fuzz behind it. Yeah I can't really tell what they're using or if they're just tuned way the gently caress down. Alright, yeah I was definitely going to run some fuzz with it as well. You might be right, the only reason I thought it could be an octave was the fact they use it a bit in their recordings. That is good to know about the OC3, I was tempted to grab one since they are much cheaper. Might just wait and grab a Trex or MicroPOG just keep an eye out for a deal on one. Wanted to use it for a organ/synth sound for bass and to replace a bassist for guitar. Thanks!

The joyo dudes are hit or miss. 50/50 shot it will come in with the harnessing hosed. if you know anything about electronic stuff, when you get it, remount it and clean it up. the joyo pedals are notoriously fragile. my chorus ate poo poo within 2 weeks.

Will it be a big deal if I constantly keep it on a desk? I won't be using it for gigs, at least not for the foreseeable future, and it'll pretty much just be for bedroom recording sessions.

I mean really, we all know they are made in some shirty warehouse so, just think it depends which set of overworked hands gets on the particular box.

Yarbald posted:I have two DL4s that I use for live looping, mainly to take advantage of the speed/one hit functions; I can record a quick sample on each one and then play "riffs" with them (a la Dave Knudson from Minus the Bear). Putting them in delay mode is nice too, and gives me either three or six more delay effects (in addition to my DD20 and Memory Man). that and unless you have your DL4 modded, there is a noticeable volume drop when in loop mode That being said if you are interested in one, I have one for sale. non modded though and their switches are notoriously poor.

One day at practice my EBVP decided to not push all the way up anymore, heel position. So, I took it apart and reset it, now I cant seem to get it to taper gently anymore - ie with fuzz it goes from full fuzz to clean with a flick of the toe. And when I try to reset it again, it now will not go through the full range from full clockwise to full counter (toe to heel) I ordered the 4 dollar restring kit because, why not? Any suggestions what to look for besides what the video says to do. Do you think this was an issue of the string losing tension/elasticity? Agreed, I am looking at you. The volume pedal WAS doing swells fine and then one day it decided to be really sensitive. Is this a possible issue with the pot ( no scratchiness or anything ) or just a new string thing?

Agreed posted:I would guess the pot before you even got any further than "My passive volume pedal is having issues, and they are-" just because it's such a dead simple circuit and that's the most likely point of failure. Can't hurt to restring it, next to free to do once, and hey maybe it is just not gripping worth a poo poo and that's what's going on. But if that doesn't fix it... That's what I figured and from what I can see, replacing the pot won't be toooo difficult. the reason the string came to mind is that i put a marks on the brass knob on the inside, a + for most clockwise position and - for most counter. when I rolled it from heel to toe, it never reached to the full + (when I strung it at most counter position at heel) then I strung it at most clockwise position and that is when it would taper real sudden and not reach the "-" position. Any recommendation for a replacement [inexpensive but decent] pot incase this string doesn't work out? I should shoot for 500k, right?

Declan MacManus posted:Yeah, VPJRs use a 500k pot. I think the shafts are longer for a volume pedal but I'm not positive. From what I can see, they are not interchangeable. Really hoping it's the string, just the fact after it started messing up- it wouldn't stay at the heel position makes think it's that. ill definitely keep y'all updated, hopefully I can fix it before my jm gets here.

Is there any way to mod it so I have a clean swell over the full sweep? not positive but replacing the pot with a 500k would probably help, I believe.

Going to have a bit of time over the summer so, I figure I might as well learn how to build pedals. What would be a good site to order/info on doing so? I know byoc is pretty good but really it seems all their pedals, I can just buy for almost the same price. is there another site that is cheaper or more accessible than spending 100 bucks on a project when I could just buy just as good pedal already made?

I am interested in learning and will have time to kill. if I can build solid pedals for 30-60 bucks and give to my friends- id be happy. I think with all this info, I'll be on the road to figuring it out, once I get on a computer. thanks for all the tips!
