Just FYI Aldo, you know I'm one of idiotboxes 5 dealers or whatever right?

I kind of remembered you saying you had a D4 distortion (which is another great pedal which works in a different way from most others of the same effect type) but hadn't put two and two together to have you as a dealer.
Love Matt's stuff, never had a bad thing from him.

The Frequency Mangler might be my favourite effect of his.
― Berk errs Gibbs/Ox (aldo), Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:49 (ten years ago) link
I love the dimension x, but it's definitely an odd beast, very lofi and hard to tame. Matt is out of it at the moment iirc.
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:50 (ten years ago) link
I think he has one uk dealer, joes pedals or something like that? And yeah, the frequency mangler is awesome.
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:51 (ten years ago) link
I had noticed nearly everything is out of stock, that explains it.
Have you tried the Voivod pedal? If so, what's it like?
― Berk errs Gibbs/Ox (aldo), Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:52 (ten years ago) link
It's pretty heavy, less fuzzy than the dungeon master but despite being a purported bass pedal I've mostly sold it to guitar dudes, esp baritone guys. The acid etch also looks awesome. I try to keep all his stuff in stock, but he only does batches of 10 at a time, so it can get tricky. I have a standing "I will buy anything new you make and I don't care what it is" understanding with him, so I've heard everything he's made so far, and it's all pretty amazing.
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Thursday, 24 April 2014 17:56 (ten years ago) link
Awesome. I might just have to buy it.

FYI: Tell Me All You Know About Delay Pedals
Still love the Moog delay. If I was buying new right now, I'd probably get the Moog Mini delay.

Uh oh might have just added another pedal line (sorta). Looks like dwarfcraft is a done deal.
Also a guy brought a bunch of these into the shop:
http://www.oldschoolfx.com
Not crazy about the graphics (yeah I know I shouldn't care but...yeah) but they seemed super well built and sounded pretty solid as well. Pricing is beyond fair. Do I buy a thing?
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Monday, 28 April 2014 05:45 (ten years ago) link
and by buy a thing i mean add them as a dealer, not buy this dudes collection, because he isnt selling, he just wanted to make me aware of the stuff. which i always find very cool when it happens, pedal geeks unite etc.
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Monday, 28 April 2014 15:20 (ten years ago) link
deindexed this for totally self-serving reasons. nothing bad! just caution abt tipping my hand on pedal line stuff since this thread has crept up the googlerank on a few things a little bit further than i would like

I got a bit of a bonus at work and have treated myself to a WMD Geiger Counter for my noise setup. Everything points to it being exactly what I want/need but a couple of reviews of people that couldn't master it gives me the fear slightly.
― Berk errs Gibbs/Ox (aldo), Wednesday, 30 April 2014 23:10 (ten years ago) link
Oh hey guess who just added one, possibly 2 new pedal lines today.
― ohhhh lorde 2pac big please mansplain to this sucker (jjjusten), Thursday, 1 May 2014 02:39 (ten years ago) link
I'll share the first one although there is still some paperwork hoop shit to jump through - we're about to become a Hammond organ dealer, with no expectation of selling b3s, but because they sent me one of the Leslie pedals and it. Is. The. Shit.
― ohhhh lorde 2pac big please mansplain to this sucker (jjjusten), Thursday, 1 May 2014 02:41 (ten years ago) link
Oh also added greenhouse effects. And now that I have deindexed this thread and won't look like a backtracking shitheel, feel free to ask me why I might be about to add zvex.
Hint: can't stop obsessing with the fuzz probe a dude brought into the shop.

I went to Denmark St and went for the Subdecay Anamnesis modular delay, which I'm very pleased with so far.

Uhoh shittons of pedals this week. And I haven't built my new pedal display yet, so I actually have nowhere to put them. Which means I've crossed the 600-700 count. By a long ways. Putting that a different way - I just did a quick calculation with our inventory program, and if the monopoly dude walked in and bought all our pedals at market value, it would cost $150k.
Might be time to actually start an online store I think.

Oh ha shit I didn't include used pedals in that calculation.
I'm just going to lie down for a bit and breathe into a paper bag brb

my pals from dwarfcraft/devi ever are coming into town tomorrow to hang out, so if anybody has any questions for them, let me know. im grabbing the first of some of the dual mode pedals from them (brown/lp and the torn's peaker/aenima) and a couple of one off test models that arent staying in production (war horse and the wolf). then we're going to nerd out and take apart some weird unobtanium pedals ive got in the shop and hang.
also, looks like my friend aaron and i are going to start doing some pedal demos starting in june, thanks to pretty much hating 99% of the pedal demos that currently exist. i'll let you all know when they go live.

jjj, have you ever played with a Geiger Counter by WMD devices? My treat to myself turned up this weekend and I broke it out a couple of hours ago. It's... quite something. I'm not 100% it's much use to anybody except the extreme noise crowd (which was why I wanted one) but it does sound manipulation on a scale I've never heard before. It's a completely daunting pedal, it has so many options, but already found a couple of favourite wave tables.
― Berk errs Gibbs/Ox (aldo), Monday, 12 May 2014 16:43 (nine years ago) link
there's a guy in town here who installs the Geiger counter right into your guitar if you like, cool mod, his place is a little shop but has some good stuff

never had a geiger counter in my hands, but ive been curious for a while. i may have overfilled my insanobox quotient with dwarfcraft/devi/idiotbox at this point but its definitely on my radar.

Hey just for my sanitys sake - tons of dudes asking me to contact Diamond Pedals. I hate to be this guy, but they look boring as hell - that isn't a deal breaker, but is there something cool there that I am missing, or is this the new flavor of praise and worship guitar dudes or something.

I don't think there are any other Chicago people who read this thread but if there are, I went into Rock and Roll Vintage on Lincoln recently and they've done a massive expansion so they're now about three times bigger than they used to be, and they now have a pedal selection that rivals, maybe even surpasses, Chicago Music Exchange. Apparently the expansion was like two years ago so I guess I hadn't been in there in a long time.

does anybody here make their own pedals? if so, does anyone know a good and reputable place on the web where you can buy these Mitsubishi ICs that show up in nearly every Boss schematic?

What's the ic part number? I've got a ton of parts in stock, and I know people that know people.

M5223AL?
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 May 2014 18:54 (nine years ago) link
I'm interested in making the tremolo just because it has some cool parts that I have experience with already:
http://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/s/tr2-tremolo.php
So the heart of it is the M5207L01, which is a voltage controlled amplifier IC. But I'd also be interested in the M5218AL low noise op amps, though I expect it's easier to find a substitute for those.
― the glimmer man (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 22 May 2014 19:20 (nine years ago) link
it's hard to even find spec sheets for a lot of these so as to even determine a substitute
