Why have one pedalboard when you can have two? ...of course those Moogs basically need a board of their own...

DOD Rubbernecks are going cheap in certain places - in Europe Thomann have them for €115 so I’ve grabbed one. Wonder if they’re being discontinued. Well... I wonder how long DOD products will be manufactured at all now they’ve all been let go

But honestly, I don’t know what Harman’s plans are from here, all I know is that I’m ready to move on.”

Millennials are killing the FX pedal industry with their damned $220 handpainted boutique pedals! You can keep yer ZVex, Wampler, and JHS. I can buy a Digitech Bad Horsie, a Boss DS1, AND an EHX Soul Food for the cost of just ONE of those stupid things!  I really did just unload a ZVex Double Rock and a Wampler Ethereal on Reverb.  I guess the good thing about these pedals is they keep their value, so if you wanna dump em, you get close to what you paid for them.

I know you’re joking but I don’t think it’s that at all. The DOD thing is baffling out of context because their pedals have come back into vogue lately but in the context of whatever insane mismanagement has happened at the mothership it is in no way DOD’s fault. When Tom Cram bought the brand and reinvigorated it they were doing well. I think he’s single handedly responsible for making the bifet 250 a thing or at least recognizing there was an underground scene that had made their sound off of it and he recognized that. It’s so rare you get a dude like that in a “corporate” brand that does well so everyone was excited and then they fired him and everyone else. 😢

Yeah it's a shame about DOD. I really liked the new Carcosa fuzz, so snag one of those if you can, especially if they're discounted. If I hadn't just bought a used El Capistan, I'd probably be getting a discounted Rubberneck right about... now.

Has anyone here used the EHX Synth9? I'm GASsing pretty hard for it since getting on a Gary Numan binge, but I'm always a little skeptical of pedals to make guitars sound like anything other than guitars. Do the various synth models sound good? How does it pair with other pedals? How good is the tracking?

I generally do 10% blade runner sounds minimum every time I pick up a guitar now. Models all sound pretty good but are definitely to taste - I tend to hover around 3 or 4. Definitely prefers drive pedals after, works great with envelope filters in front and chorus/ delay after. Tracking is really solid (including with bends and whammy stuff)

The amount of high gain distortion I'm getting out the thing is loving insane. I was just playing my standard MIM Strat (single coils) and it sounded absolutely HUGE. Drop D palm mutes are woofing like mad. It's really fun.

the jhs video on it made the prices jump through the roof, unfortunate speaking of forgotten drive pedals, i bought a t rex hobo drive and it’s pretty good; it doesn’t have a mid hump or the 250/dist+ thing going on so i guess you’d call it transparent? it can get pretty twinkly if that’s your bag

Hope this isn't too much of a "do my work for me" question. I'll be fiddling around with it in a couple days, but wanted to post something here first to see if anyone had any tips to point me in the right direction. I'm an actor and filmmaker trying to break into film scoring, specifically synth-y, ambient stuff in the vein of NIN, John Carpenter, Johann Johannson, and Ursine Vulpine. I’ve been a guitarist for years, but have a background in theatrical sound design. That said, never made a proper pedal board in my life, nor do I have a ton of experience with scoring. Would love some tips on chaining FX together. Gear list: -Electric Guitar -Acoustic Guitar -Amplifier -Monitors -Nord Lead 4 Synthesizer -Tascam 414 mkii 4 track (picked one up after watching some really lush textural stuff done with tape, still working out the kinks) -Arturia Keystep Midi Controller -Logic Pro X, a bunch of plugins -Elektron Digitakt (got it off a friend last week, have not had a chance to use yet, but will figure out in the coming weeks) -MOTU 828 mkii audio interface (hopefully upgrading to Universal Audio Apollo twin in a few weeks) -RODE NTA-1 Microphone Pedals: -Dr Scientist Bitquest -Boss RV-6 reverb -Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor -Digitech RP50 -Digitech Stereo Flanger -Arion MTE-1 Tubulator -Danelectro FAB Overdrive So I've got this gear, and have two goals with the setup: A) Set up a mini home studio that I won't have to repatch too much switching between various inputs (Tascam, Digitakt, Synth, Electric guitar all heading into Logic in my computer and out my monitors) B) Chain these pedals together in a way that gets me some really lush, spacey tones, both from the guitar inputs as well as the tape, synth, or anything else I want to line in through there. Like I said, I'll be fiddling around with it later this week, picking up patch cables, all that, but would love any tips/thought on setup before I dive in blind.

Looks like you got all the ingredients for a really great setup. If you are looking to record multiple instruments/layers at once, my advice would be to get an interface with a few more inputs than the UA Twin, even if it means not getting UA (although they are totally awesome). You could do it with the Twin and just get stereo of what you got coming in, but it will limit your editing/mixing options. As for the pedals, my only advice given your stated purpose is to not make your chain too permanent. I've made the mistake of having a set up that was a little too rigid and getting slowed down when I wanted to experiment. Those pedals will sound/work very differently based on the chain, maybe it would be worth investing in a patch bay of some sort?

Before I start linking people to the Immerse MkII for Christmas reasons what other reverbs should I check out? Notes: Tone is #1, nothing else comes first. Simplicity. No apps required preferably. Menus maybe but I’d rather have a traditional setup. Honestly I haven’t found any I like more than the Immerse. I’m in the process of making an ep and having a top tier reverb pedal is the piece I’m chasing after still. Sadly my previous Ethereal wasn’t what I wanted. A Supermoon is possible too but I like the variety of the Immerse. I usually dislike multi pedals but for reverb it makes sense. Also grabbing a MXR CC Deluxe soon. If anyone has challengers to toss my way go for it. CC is my favorite sound so it’s unlikely but it never hurts to look! Juaguocio posted:Oooo that one looks nice. Have you used it with bass? Does it cut any low end? Hey man sorry I took three months before I remembered this lmao but no. It sounds awesome on every instrument I’ve used and somehow doesn’t shift the base tone much at all. I could record something if you want.

Hey dudes, been making a bunch of music lately and wanted to share something since I believe a lot of us have the Korg Minilogue. It really makes all the difference in the world running the mini through an effects chain before routing into your audio interface/amp. My chain is currently Boss OS-2 (Overdrive/Distortion) -> Bass Big Muff Pi -> Boss Super Chorus -> Boss RV-6 Reverb and I with that combination, I am having a ton of fun adding little synth parts to my beats. There is something that is a lot more inspiring about having a physical pedal to tinker with when playing a hardware synth.

Anyone have experience with the Keeley 30ms Automatic Double Tracker? I wanna cover Randy Rhoads songs, but I'm not as good as Randy Rhoads so I would like to cheat. All the demos I can find are clean or blues-dad stuff and I have no idea if it holds up under moderate gain.

I may be understanding the pedal wrong but I think it would go after gain or in the effects loop so you wouldn’t have any issues with it. It should handle anything you throw at it. It’s not gonna help you cheat your way to Rhoads though

Trying to remember who makes this effect. It's literally a hand cranked cassette player with a 1/4" jack. It was around $320 and it was a company that also made a kinda chaos synth keyboard (not synthrotek). Anyone remember seeing this?
