I've been looking at building an actual pedal board and have thus been going more into learning about pedals. Distortion/fuzz/overdrive is fairly straight forward, but apart from how tweakable they go what's the real difference between, say, two analog delays, set at the same delay time, feedback, etc. I understand that different pedals offer different options for these settings but what's the sound difference? Chorus, flanger, phasers all have different depths and rates and how wild they go but surely a delay is, aside from analog v digital, just a delay?

I can't really help you on the why and how but every delay I've owned has sounded wildly different. I would honestly say in my experience that delays have a wider range of varying sounds than dirt pedals.

Weird BIAS posted:I'm wondering too. Not sure it's a clone. Given that they demo "Burn" for a bit, and based on the way it sounds, it might be an attempt at a full-range treble booster, though it doesn't really sound like a Rangemaster. It nails the "Burn" sound pretty well, but that was a modded Marshall with a tape deck preamp. syntaxfunction posted:I've been looking at building an actual pedal board and have thus been going more into learning about pedals.

Chorus, flanger, phasers all have different depths and rates and how wild they go but surely a delay is, aside from analog v digital, just a delay? Digital delays vary in how much they try to emulate some form of analog delay, from not at all (some of the Boss DD-whatevers) to quite a lot. Analogs will vary in how they're voiced. Some are murkier than others. Fancier ones might have an effects loop. Choruses vary in voicing too, at least with the simpler ones. A Small Clone won't really sound like a Boss. Fancier ones can cover more ground. Same with flangers. An MXR is good at thick and heavy, an ADA will do a lighter Pat Travers sort of thing.

How are the cheaper power supplies? The caline CP-05 and joyos Jp-02?

The JP-02 works about as well as a One-Spot but with the added advantage of having 12v and 18v outputs and a better form factor for pedal boards. The outputs obviously aren't fully isolated but they are separately regulated I think, since the last 9V output allows higher current draw for digital effects. I have no experience with the Caline unit but from the look of it I would guess it's exactly the same unit. It's worth nothing that Joyo just brought out a fully isolated supply which might be a better option.

It's £80 for that price I may as well go for a fuel tank. I don't know why I'm looking new tbh, should be looking second hand.

Any pedal modders or builders here? I need some help with a mod that would probably be simple to you. I make wallets for a living (philswallets.com,) and if you can walk me through the mod, I'll send you a wallet. I have a box of rock that I love, but I don't need the clean boost at the end of the circuit. I play through a solid state amp so the Super Hard On has nothing to push. It is just a "Loud" knob. I keep the BOR at a nice edge of breakup and would love to use the boost to push the dirt side of the pedal. It reacts really well to a boost in front of it, so it would be sweet to have that in one box. Here are the schematics, and some pictures of the guts: https://hotbottles.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/zvex_boxofrock_schematics.jpg http://imgur.com/a/m7Tk6 Feel free to email or gchat me at philkop at gmail if your interested

I've been messing around with models in AmpliTube and on a lark I bought the Tubescreamer model. This thing is great, I've been using it as a boost on the JCM800 model and wow. I'm not actually usually a fan of Marshall but I'm really liking the sound and using the TS with full volume and none-to-little drive gives the gain I've always wanted from the JCM800. Now I'm looking to get one for realsies, to pair with my Vox NT50H because the gain channel on it is very Marshall-esque but I've always found it lacked mid range. Not so much gain, but as I'd be using the TS as a mid-boost essentially I'm not worried about that. My question is what competitors to a TS9 or clone are there? I'm thinking Soul Food/Klones? Would the Soul Food get me the same result of that nice mid boost with the extra gain on tap? Money is an issue, I'm planning this as a Christmas present to myself and I'm looking at <AU$200.

Maxon OD808/Digitech Bad Monkey/Boss SD-1 are the more common tubescreamer alternatives.

If you like the tubescreamer get one of them, there are soooo many variations. Wey huge green rhino or the mxr one with the 100hz cut would be my recommendations.

The Nobels ODR1 is one of the best I've tried. But to be clear, I use all ODs as clean boosts. What do you play?

The MXR 77 is basically a modified SD-1, and for only $100 new it sounds fantastic so maybe check that out as well.

Good suggestions! I'll try and find a local store that stocks a few of the suggested ones to give them a try in person. As for styles, mainly alt-rock with loads of gain. Bit of metal. I love the super compressed and saturated wall of noise/layers of guitars for what I write. Lots of quiet-loud bits. So far the main ones I'm looking at are: TS9 Bad Monkey OD808 SD-1 Soul Food? Sound like a good list to try and play in person?

try the green rhino. the gain on that thing is reminiscent of the huge, bass-heavy sounds the pumpkins got with their big muffs

Will do! I think the closest place to me is a Dunlop/Way Huge dealer too. I actually have a Muff (Bass Big Muff) and while I like the extra gain and thickness I'm hoping to keep a lot of my amp's character in it, just with a bit more lower mids/mid bump and maybe pushing the amp more with more "neutral" gain. The wall of Muff is fun and I'm going with that approach at the moment but I'm also trying to use my amp tone because it's both more tameable, stacks/layers really well and sounds a bit more unique.

What amp are you running right now? Like I said, I really like my Nobels (it's apparently the OD of choice for the Nasvhille scene) but some pedals pair better with other amps than others.

I'm running a Vox Night Train 50 head and matching 2*12. Gain usually sits a bit more than 3/4 on the gain channel and miss are basically maxed with treble halfish and bass a bit more than half. It does the job in the room usually but I'd just like that but more oomph.

If not though, yeah, those are going to start going up in value for sure.

Unfortunately the enclosures aren't as sturdy nowadays and have plastic battery compartments, but are compatible with remote switches. All told, it doesn't bother me, but I'd probably put it in a custom enclosure if I was doing serious gigging or touring.

Yeah, I was able to score a timebender right after they were discontinued a year or two ago and that thing loving rules since it's basically a DD20 with a whammy on the repeats if you plug in an expression pedal.

I did a lot of research before buying the Digitech Drop and I can definitely say the Digitech is much better than the Morpheus. It has minimal lag even on the octave mode. Noticeable to me, but not anything that makes playing in time difficult. That said I've realized I don't need drop tunings enough to give it space on my board so I'm probably putting mine up on Reverb soon. I can't say anything bad about the pedal though. It's better than the rest of the pedals trying the same thing by a large margin.

Her pedalboard alone is like in the $5k range. And the weirdest thing is that she really uses the pedals very subtly.
