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

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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)

resulting post (rogermexico.), Monday, 27 July 2015 22:17 (eight years ago) link

My chorus go tos are the catalinbread Callisto, the Dr. Scientist Cosmichorus, the Mr. Black Doublechorus, and the Greenhouse Stonefish. The only reason the luxe isn't on that list is that it is technically not a chorus. More on that if people want to nerd out.

The big MXR analog chorus is also cool.

I've added so many lines. Sorry I've been absent. Black Cat lands next month.

Also if anyone has any questions about Stomp Under Foot, hit me up. Or the Supro amp reissues, because that's also about to happen.

I've been considering the Black Cat super fuzz lately. I'll have to see if I can come up with the scratch.

Does next month mean August or September?

August

I have the Deluxe Mona Wah on the order, and I was still going back and forth on the Super Fuzz. I'll add it, and if you don't want it, someone will.

a strawman stuffed with their collection of 12 cds (jjjusten), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 17:37 (eight years ago) link

Cool! I've just got to clear the purchase with mrs. life. I'll hit you up.

so many pedals

oh, i am a lonlely poster. i live in a box of posts. (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 18:19 (eight years ago) link

The Black Cat Mona features a special custom tuned Black Cat inductor, as well as the newly engineered Black Cat wah pot, which is like nothing else on the market. These features allow the Black Cat Mona to be used as a sophisticated tone-sculpting tool instead of a mere novelty quack machine.

how's life, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link

but I WANT a mere novelty quack machine

I mean, a quacking guitar, who doesn't want that

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:38 (eight years ago) link

I've been without a wah since I made the mistake of loaning my old V848 to a friend for a gig lol.

covet the Mona. so spendy but so pretty...

I've been curious about these forever but they don't have a dealer anywhere near me. So when I was in DC last week I made a special trip out to the suburbs to a weird small guitar store at 10 a.m. to play around with the Galaxie 4. I like the hollowbody deluxe model more than the solidbody but all of the hollowbody colors/finishes are way too flashy for me. So then I get back to Chicago and yesterday I wander into the local fancy guitar store and of course NOW they are carrying DiPinto guitars too. I think I like the natural mahogany finish the best, even though it's probably the most boring:

I'm a boring guy, I can't have a sparkly guitar with a psychedelic headstock.

Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 19 August 2015 16:40 (eight years ago) link

Even the black hollowbody Galaxie 4 is pretty flashy: https://reverb.com/item/513452-di-pinto-galaxie-4-deluxe-2015-black-white
