Holy simoleons. For prices like that, they better be transparent.

my solution to this problem in general winds up being skreddy or catalinbread related

I have an RE-201 that I got for essentially free (well, as payment for debts incurred) years and years ago and it's awesome, more like a living beast than a machine, it is v strange. I wouldn't call it a limited use delay pedal at all. Just had my tech buddy service it cuz the output was acting up, now I need to replace the tape :(

there is a decent digital pedal knockoff though, schwantz has one

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 23:15 (nine years ago) link

yeah i dunno, i love the 201 but the pedal leaves me cold, perhaps it just can't get fucked up enough

don't ask me why i posted this (electricsound), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 23:36 (nine years ago) link

it's true the pedal doesn't act quite the same way although I can't quite put my finger on how. I mean if you crank the delay level up all the way it does the feedback thing but it is different somehow.

XP to rogermexico, thanks!

That's a cool looking pedal however it's not what I saw, -from what I can remember - this one was a lighter colour, more squared off and had a cassette tape housing mechanism built flush in the centre with a cassette in it, it was the coolest looking thing.

This pedal looks pretty interesting, but I ADORE the demo:

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 29 January 2015 16:45 (nine years ago) link

Holy crap. Want.

(and that's seriously the best pedal demo video I've ever seen)

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:35 (nine years ago) link

I want the pedal too! Only $200.

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:41 (nine years ago) link

Man, the Caroline Kilobyte pairs so well with a theremin. Thanks jjj for suggesting it and shipping it down to me. I needed it.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 2 February 2015 23:02 (nine years ago) link

two weeks pass...

And

Wait for it, I know this is shocking

Added another pedal line

Nice! have toy heard of M.A.S.F.?

You should carry them too.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 18 February 2015 07:13 (nine years ago) link

I want to hear that drone station. Can you make a quick demo when you get them?

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 18 February 2015 07:14 (nine years ago) link

Holy
Shit

And yeah, I'll do a drone station demo as well

a strawman stuffed with their collection of 12 cds (jjjusten), Thursday, 19 February 2015 05:36 (nine years ago) link

what is that?

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 24 February 2015 13:10 (nine years ago) link

the logo seems to read "skatefuzz". Juan Alderete posted it on facebook last night. Googling skatefuzz got me some other pedals called a skatefuzz, but none with a skateboard wheel where the switch is supposed to go.

iyo iyo un day (how's life), Tuesday, 24 February 2015 13:14 (nine years ago) link

I'm guessing it's a custom piece, but damn is it cool looking.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 24 February 2015 13:21 (nine years ago) link

This is my most recent purchase and utter obsession:

It's The Great Destroyer from Dwarfcraft modded with a cv out and cv ins for tone and gain.

The combo of awful dad-practice backing track and fuzz pedal is kind of amazing

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 03:31 (nine years ago) link

i knew before I clicked on that link that this was a prymaxe demo.

iyo iyo un day (how's life), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 10:10 (nine years ago) link

to the trained eye, "prymaxevintage.com" in the corner of the preview image is a dead giveaway

resulting post (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 12:48 (nine years ago) link

Sorry, I forget that other people can see images/youtubes without clicking on them. But yeah, Prymaxe demos are terrible, particularly for their jam-along backing tracks and for their tendency to showcase pedals on both rhythm and lead simultaneously. I wouldn't mind hearing more pedals demoed in an actual band context though.

how's life, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 13:02 (nine years ago) link

oh just teasing - don't apologize! i haven't listened to this one but fwiw in a band context demo i'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between a klon and a bad monkey

resulting post (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 13:13 (nine years ago) link

90% of pedal demos are close to unwatchable for me, but yeah, prymaxe is among the worst

Things that happen when you start impulsively buying out the stock of a closed down crazy pedal store. This is all from Uh today.

That video. That guitar. That dude. My god.

a strawman stuffed with their collection of 12 cds (jjjusten), Friday, 3 April 2015 04:20 (nine years ago) link

there's one on reverb for $130 right now, but I doubt it comes with the tan satin shirt.

three weeks pass...

Thoughts? Had a bunch of this sent to me for demo purposes and it floored me. Not as exciting as stuff that destroys your guitar, but one of the better mid price loop solutions I've seen - that programmable 5 loop streets for $280.

New version of MWFX Judder out and in stock as of today. I bought a Glitch on the basis of the video of the Judder above and love it, it's a massively fucked-up beast.

I should also point out I did buy a Warped Vinyl from JJJ as discussed upthread and although I can't get it to work the way I want to (or how I thought I would get it to work) it really is a thing of beauty, Thanks JJJ?

wtf, that last sentence isn't a question!

Aldo, have you seen the Dwarfcraft Gears and ARF yet?

Also did I mention how much I love the Knobs YouTube demos? Because good lord.

Caroline Wave Cannon MK II just showed up today and it is (without hyperbole) the best thing that admits to being a quote unquote distortion I have ever had in my store.

a strawman stuffed with their collection of 12 cds (jjjusten), Saturday, 2 May 2015 22:52 (nine years ago) link

Those dwarf craft pedals look right up my street, on want list.

the bowels are not what they seem (aldo), Sunday, 3 May 2015 08:23 (nine years ago) link

I know. I swore I wasn't adding any lines this month. I lied. Just became a dealer for function fx, who only have one pedal out (right now) but it's awwwwwwwesome.

i had to fast forward through that demo because i really wanted to see what that "8 bit" knob did

Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Tuesday, 12 May 2015 18:53 (eight years ago) link

two months pass...

Don't typically think of myself as a big "pedal guy" but I spent a while at the local super-fancy guitar store playing around with pedals yesterday and it was so much fun and now I'm like "I think I need a chorus pedal!??!!?". I'm going back after work to get a used Earthquaker Ghost Echo which seems very niche but a niche I think I fit into, also I want all the other Earthquaker pedals, so crazy-sounding and -looking.

Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 27 July 2015 17:21 (eight years ago) link

Oh you want a chorus pedal? I just bought this from jjj and it literally is the most glorious thing I have ever heard in my entire life:

http://digitech.com/en-US/products/luxe

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Monday, 27 July 2015 17:27 (eight years ago) link

I have very mixed feelings about chorus, it is such a dated sound (I guess most effects are dated but chorus sounds like music/eras that I'm not as interested in replicating), but I'm looking for ways to play around with my non-distorted tone. I had fun messing around with a couple of chorus pedals yesterday.

Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 27 July 2015 17:32 (eight years ago) link

The Luxe pedal sounds nice.

Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 27 July 2015 17:32 (eight years ago) link

I like the Small Clone chorus that I have.

The Ghost Echo is awesome.

brownie, Monday, 27 July 2015 17:35 (eight years ago) link

lol cure fetish

resulting post (rogermexico.), Monday, 27 July 2015 22:15 (eight years ago) link

(luxe sounds great btw. fwiw i've been using a jacques meistersinger for years and never felt a need for another chorus after that)
