Definitely a rat derivative based on what is clearly a 30p compensation cap.

Thanks a tonne both of you. Figures my favourite distortion was yet another rat haha. If it works... Since it's impossible to find these and I really want one on my board I'm thinking of asking Tym Guitars to clone it if they're willing. And fix the switch on this one!

Any recommendations for a cheapish chorus pedal? Was thinking a tc 3rd dimension but wanted to check some other pedals out.

Was the Carcosa fuzz actually good, or just a meme because it was cheap and people had nostalgia for DOD? Since they’re like $60 used I was thinking about grabbing one but they always sound slightly rear end in the youtube demos I’ve seen, and I remember the other new-DOD stuff feeling meh in person.

Carcosa is a fuzzrite with an active tone control. It rules. The Boneshaker is a generic op-amp overdrive with a broken-from-the-factory parametric eq. HTH

I am not sure what thread this question belongs in, but can somebody break down what sonic characteristics of an analogue (or analogue-modeling) compressor make it so desireable? I understand the difference between digital and analogue when it comes to a lot of effects, but I am not sure what I am supposed to be listening for when it comes to compressors, beyond some vague notions of "warmth" or whatever.

Drink-Mix Man posted:some vague notions of "warmth" or whatever. It is this both ironically and genuinely. A good compression circuit is going to add a load of harmonic content and general signal distortion (in the sense of altering the sound source rather than chugga chugga distortion), just like a good preamp would.

The whole Carcosa fuzz discussion earlier reminded me that such things exist and I remembered I'd kinda wanted one but never got one. Then a couple days later, a buddy of mine was selling his, so now I have one. Based on a quick test, it rules, but then I am a doomhead.

you can get doom sounds, you can get 60s velcro, or you can get tweed on the verge of meltdown, but that’s it, those are the only three fuzz sounds that the carcosa can do

It's incredibly responsive to EQ and compression for a fuzz pedal. Saving up my bucks for a yellow spiral drive though.

If you look up some of the most famous analog compressors like the UA-1176, API 525, LA-2A, LA-3A, Neve 2254, etc. you can find descriptions of the unique characteristics they have. Take the UA-1176 for example, it is known for having incredibly fast attack and release times which can add a lot of bite and brightness to a sound. Analog gear often colors a sound and the different types of compressors do this in their own unique and sometimes subtle ways.

So I'm finally looking to get a couple pedals, namely considering overdrive, reverb, and distortion to give some options; I'm mainly into folk/americana, rock, and metal. Considering something like: - Fulltone OCD - MXR Fullbore Metal - Some sort of reverb pedal Any thoughts on this plan? Any suggestions on the reverb to pick up? And also super open to alternatives on the overdrive/distortion. warplain fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Apr 21, 2020 |

I really like the Hall of Fame reverb. It's not very expensive used and the version 2 is just minor changes to version 1 so you can get version 1 even cheaper.

there's also the digitech hardwire reverb which is basically a poor man's strymon and usually goes for less than 1/4 the price whenever they pop up on reverb/ebay/craigslist/whatever

MXR fullbore reverb is IMO one of the worst pedals I have ever played. If I really wanted metal tone in a box and didnt want to splash out on something like diezels pedal I'd go digital and get something like mooers single stomp amp modellers. massive spider fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Apr 21, 2020 |

massive spider posted:MXR fullbore reverb is IMO one of the worst pedals I have ever played. yeah for metal distortion you’re better off getting something like the crunch box (either the mi audio original or the joyo clone) and goosing it with the ocd unless there’s a specific metal tone that you’re trying to cop (in which case finding a preamp in a box of said metal tone will serve you better)

OCD can probably do metal on its own if you're talking JCM800 tones. e; or with a tube screamer in front https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7sqgZ00WP4 massive spider fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 23, 2020 |

Hey pedal nerds, got an EQ question for you. I own a Peavey Triumph 60 head, which has it's tonestack BEFORE anything else. So it doesn't give me the prem-o toneshaping I want. All suggestions say to chuck an EQ in the loop and run the amp EQ flat out (which by itself sounds far better). My question is: Are there pedals that are made to emulate a tonestack of a popular amp? Para and Graphic EQs are a thing but I am curious if anyone's taken, say, the values of a JCM800's tonestack and thrown it in a pedal. That'd be an interesting way to change the sound without being overwhelming. Alternatively are there guides to emulating famous tonestacks with a graphic EQ? Thanks.

Mesa Boogie sells a pedal version of the Mark series' graphic EQ, although the price is a bit ridiculous: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BoogieEQ--mesa-boogie-boogie-five-band-graphic-eq-pedal

I would get a Boss GE-7 and chuck it in the loop. It’s an active EQ so you won’t get signal loss and you can boost frequencies in addition to cutting them. It’s a 7-band, inductorless version of the Mesa pedal except it’s a lot less money.

I'm sure the Mesa claims to have some magic sauce that makes it three times better than a normal EQ pedal. I haven't got a clue what it could be, though.

Maybe I'm wrong but when I bought a GE-7 it was by far one of the noisest pedals I ever used, to the extent that it creates noise when engaging any of the bands. I had to mod it to get it to not just add signal noise.

Yea they can be noisy as a result of Boss using lovely op-amps and caps but it's not always a game-changer for everyone and they are easily modded/fixed. Another option is the MXR 6 and 10 Band which is the same gyrator technology but higher quality components.

Thanks, looking at the MXR 6 band keenly. I'm not really wanting to use it to do crazy things. In fact the reason I wanted a passive one was to closer imitate a, say, Marshall reductive-only amp tonestack. As it is I just lesve the amp EQ wide open because of the way it affects the sound otherwise. Sadly this means I don't have *any* toneshaping. Any guides for emulating different amp EQ curves with a GEQ?

Seems weird a pedal like that wouldn’t exist. The MXR should get you there imo but if you want a little box with a buffered Fender/Marshall tone stack lemme know.

So I'm looking at Saturnworks to make a parallel blender, and I came up with this schematic which represents my currently owned pedals. Mainly I'm trying to fit my Sentry noise gate into the mix and was curious if this layout works work with the parallel blender. Thoughts?

I don't think blending the time-based effects along with the distortion would be as effective. The way it's set up makes sense. I've done something similar in concept. I still like to blend chorus and phase. If you had a distortion to run in front of the Pharaoh, though, that can work really well. It doesn't need tons of gain in front of it, but that pedal sounds great if you give it a biting sound to chew on, like a Distortion+ or something.
