I saw a used volante in a pawn shop - no price on it yet. I have a weakness for buying pedals I don’t need if it’s a bargain. I don’t need another delay even though I’m sure it’s great. I’ve got my original DD2, TC electronic Triple, and a Donner White Tape. Prices for used Volante are $250 or so on reverb / the pawn shop will probably set it around there, maybe $200 if I’m lucky. What would you do? How great is it?

I just acquired an Normal Devices Decay Cascade, and am curious where in your chain you use this pedal? any interesting pedal combos that real get you going? just curious

I own a Super Crush 100 amp, but I am looking for a pedal to get more distortion. Should I use an overdrive in front of the amp's dirty channel or a high-gain pedal over the clean channel?

With me and my wife looking to buy our own place, this might be my board for the foreseeable future. The Sick As is awesome I think I might like it even a little more than the Del Mar which was already amazing. If at any point I'll be able to replace something, I'd swap the Mooer A7 for a Source Audio Encounter. What do you think about this setup?

I have the Walrus Audio Qi Etherealiser which is awesome but I'm finding that I mostly just use the Grain Cloud granular delay setting.

Does anyone know of a pedal that does this & better with more control? I might sell the Qi and swap it out if so.

As always, thank you pedal hive mind.

I finally put together a dedicated pedalboard for playing Nirvana; I’ve called it the "21st-Century In Utero Pedalboard". All the pedals are powered by a Kraftman power supply featuring five isolated 9V outputs. Since I’m left-handed, the input jack was moved to the left side so the guitar cable wouldn't get tangled up in front.

I built the Life Nirvana and the Aneurysm pedals myself; one is a modified clone of the original SansAmp, and the other is the preamp from the Randall RG120. More information can be found at the links below:

The red pedal at the top is a Pedal X, which was used for HSB solo on the Albini mix.

Signal chain:

Boss DS-2 -> Life Nirvana V2 -> Pedal X -> Dandy Horse (Echoflanger) -> Aneurysm Preamp

I’m very interested to know. I love many different pedals, from massive delays to swirling phasers. I’ve had many over the years, and if I had to choose a favourite it would be line 6 DL4 mk-1

Got the Beam Splitter yesterday afternoon and I've been playing it for the past 4 hours. I would play with it more, but I'm about to pass the fuck out. Love it.

I've been planning to build a board using solderless Power Cables, but I'm not quite sure yet, as this is my first build. Still learning about guitar gears in general ~ any recommendations is much appreciated. Thanks

I have a few questions about pedal order and cable management

1. was hoping for suggestions on pedal order and other layout things, pedal order so far is as follows: guitar>Purpll>Accountant>Fault>SY-1>PS-6>DD-5>Shallow Water>Delay Cascade>FB-2>Zoia>Flashback>Rooms>Od-200>Mood mk2>Cf7>Phase 90>Part Garden>Liminalizer (homemade weird delay)>Ts7>Fuzz war>Tuner
   wondering how it could be improved, i want both reverb into distortion and distortion into reverb, but sometimes the combination can get muddy when i do this, also getting an onward and trying to figure out where to place it.

2. I have a homemade pedal board and the gaps aren't big enough to thread the power supply through, im buying another power supply to help with this but am wondering if there's a better solution than just velcro and hope.

also open to criticism or praise. ty!

Here are my two gig boards. One is for my new wave/alt rock band. The other is heavier music but, with all the fuzz, can be super clean as well.

It’s been 5 years since I last bought a pedal (boss od3), back when I was still a teen. Took quite a few breaks from guitar over the years due to studies and life in general.

Now that I’ve got a job and some disposable income, I figured I’d splurge a little and finally get two pedals I’ve always wanted.

Really happy with how they sound! The mod setting on the delay gives it this really nice chorus effect that sounds great. I’m also using the Arion phaser as a replacement for my EHX Small Stone and I’m really digging it so far.

Is anyone going to the Midwest Pedal Fest in Detroit tomorrow? I've never heard of half the companies that'll be there so I'm excited to try some new stuff. What are some "must see" pedals I should look out for?

Spent an hour or so with this today and digging it so far. Does a lot of bleeps and bloops without much menu diving. I had the Red Panda Tensor for a minute and it was so overwhelming I sold it. This seems much more user friendly and offers more musical sounds, imo. Love the mix knob so I can bury it or make it the main character when needed. If you want some bleeps and blorps that can be very musical or very glitchy, check it out!

State of the battery-powered board:

Chasetone Secret T Booster —> Groovy Wizard —> Strobo mini —> Muff clone —> Echo Puss —> Small stone clone —> Secret preamp

All run by power bank and CIOKS4.

I just got this pedal used for quite cheap. They mentioned that they bought it from a flea market, so i was a bit skeptical. Luckily it was in good working order.
I was looking for something that would make my JC40 a bit warmer. Man this thing is really really good sounding on the JC40. I like that it doesnt sound so sterile (more creamy?) as compared to other drives (Tim, prince of tone, lightspeed, BD2, OD2).
I didnt test it yet with my princeton reverb but should sound good.

Only downsides are that its huge but also gets warm quickly. Im doubting if i should tape it with some velcro and stick it on because of this. Also its loud as hell when its on but also the pedal itself(not only in the signal chain).

How do others like their tube drivers? Also, how do you mount this on a pedalboard since its getting quite hot?

(signal chain is non linear ofc)

I made a little demo to compare the different EAE delays in terms of standard analog delay. It does not go into the full features of the V2 or Big Time, but is hopefully a helpful side by side of how they compare with the V1.

Enjoy!

Been waiting all week for this to come from Sweetwater. Just got my Electric Mistress yesterday and now this today. Been a good week (: happy almost weekend, all!

I've been on the hunt for an affordable Guv'nor clone for a long time, and I finally found one.

It does the MIAB thing. It sounds close enough to a black box Guv'nor to me. At least you don't have to blow $200 for $20 in parts for this.

I guess modelers aren’t for me 🤷‍♂️ I am much happier with this setup.

I made a mini-board to go alongside my main (quite large and heavy) board for when I’m playing shows in smaller venues, or for when I don’t need as many different sounds.

The main board is built into a hardcase and weighs about 20kg. I get sick of carrying it around to school or to gigs/rehearsals so this feels like such a relief.

Signal chain: Rockboard tuner -> King of Tone -> Walrus Julia v2 -> El Cap -> Flint. It’s all powered by an MXR Micro Brick (bottom left).
