How fussy are pedals about amperes in general?
I'm thinking about getting a pedalboard powersupply and it looks like they supply anywhere from 150 mA to 800-1000 mA.
Am I going to fry my pedals if I give them too much juice or can they regulate it?

Have any of you used the Line6 Echo Park?
There's a used one for sale local to me for about 90$. Seems pretty reasonable for the amount of features it has.

Oh and speaking of kits, what are some good starter ones?

From what little I've heard a fuzz-box can be pretty simple.
I just ordered two kits from here: (Sweet honey OD/Mosrite fuzz)

He has a difficulty-rating for each kit so maybe you can use that for something.

When you can rock out with that pedal on, that's when you know you've arrived.

Can any of you figure out if the DC-plug on this pedal is center-positive or center-negative? There's no sticker on the back and I'm not exactly an electronics-wiz.





It's a devi ever Soda Meiser if that helps.

A current Dwarfcraft-made one? They're all 9V tip-negative (do not use 18V). No idea on the ones Devi actually made, but I'd expect the same.

I can't find a picture of the pedal that looks exactly like the one I have, so it's probably not part of a big production-run. Doesn't look like the one on the Dwarfcraft website either.

That's not a bad idea, thanks.

Does anyone know if a thing like this exists, and what it is called:



Kind of like a reversed AB-box.

I want to play guitar on top of some sequencer/synth-stuff, with the ability to cut out the synth on the fly. Maybe I just need a switcher/looper but I can't really figure it out.

That would honestly be fantastic but I'm in England and I don't think a lot of you guys are :(

If you're in the UK just get the grey Harley Benton from Thomann. It's cheap and it has very good reviews everywhere I've looked.

So I may be a complete dunce, but how do I know my TC HoF is 'taking' the toneprint I give it? I've got a few, stick the phone of my pickup and hit 'beam to pedal' and I hear lots of static - and then.... it pretty much sounds the same.

I appreciate this may just be a function of a Reverb pedal rather than a chorus or delay, but I was expecting some kind of feedback to assure me I'm not making a big mistake, especially since there doesn't appear to be much variance at all. Thoughts?

I haven't used toneprint myself but I seem to remember from youtube that it gives some kind of "OK" sound when the toneprint takes.

I'm running out of space on my pedal board, and at the same time I find myself in need of a second volume pedal for my second channel, so I wanted the smallest volume pedal I could find. The smallest I can see online is the AMT Little Loud Mouth, but I have no idea of it's reliability.

On the other hand, last couple of times I saw Acid Mothers Temple, they were using this increadibly tiny volume and wah set of pedals that were smaller than the guitarist's foot, but I have no idea what they are. They looked perfect, though.

Any thoughts?

I don't know about the AMT volume, but the AMT wah (WH-1) has some pretty good reviews.

Is there such thing as a good quality multi-prong power supply? So far my pedalboard consists of 3 pedals (tuner, boost, chorus) and the power block is the same size as all three together and it seems excessive.

The Trex fueltank junior is pretty small for a brick PSU-

What's a good octave-pedal to add some low end when you're looping guitar? Just get an oc-3?

Could be the thread title.

Anyway, I was reading about the Boss TB-2W, which is a recreation of a Tone Bender MK II fuzz.
Was super stoked and onboard until I discovered they were asking $350 for it. gently caress that.

Boss going botique is like the worst of both worlds. They should just make dependable, slightly boring boxes that last 50 years.

I've been borrowing my friend's Roland RE-501 and it's giving me serious GAS. Anyone have any experience with a Strymon Volante? It's a chunk of change, but if it sounds close to a real tape echo, seems worth getting once I have to give this back.

That Pedal Show on Youtube should have you covered for info. All their videos are about an hour, but they're really good at putting timecodes in the description so you can pick and choose.
