[Moods For Mallards]

Damnit.

The only question is this: buy it on Music123 now for 187 euro and have my mate bring it over from the US in a month's time, or buy it in Musician on Saturday morning for 240 and have it right now?
It's eating me up.

240? Yer man told me it was 180.

 

[hop]

Have a dream of having one of these

on an aux send, next to the hihat pedal, of an internally mic'd kit.
just because.

boxo who posts here has one of these. its worth it for the manual alone, and also the little writing on the pedal that says 'there is no bypass only zuul'.

personally, i have to pick 2:

the jackhammer - (OD setting) been my workhorse goto everyday crunch pedal in times of darkness. It actually sounds better these days, probably because i play through more tube amps than i ever used to

dd-6: keep finding new ways of making things sound cool (super fast delay time, an ebow, a fender blender and a fz-2. Mercy)

Really? I might give them a call. Doesn't sound right though.

a big part of me was going to go for The Big Muff, Tony Mound is right they are not all they're cracked up to be, but it's a total workshorse of pedal. You know exactly where you are with it (in a land of low level, not very well defined mush with a bad filter sweep for a tone dial)

but actually I could live with out distortion and I think the Digi-delay would keep me amused much longer. Brilliant slap backs, really 'boingy' sound for the olds 60's rip off solos, and then just bats backwards delay that goes on f-o-r-e-v-e-r-r-r-r-r-r-e-v-e-r-o-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f

the looper function on it is dirt basic, but pretty useable all the same...

I've got one of those on my effects mic chain, I like it a long.

I think I PM'd you about him

never got any of his stuff, but I think I have an old live recording of Tubular Bells he plays on... he still sounds totally fascinating, just never found a starting point

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

oh right, tubular bells heh

 

[JohnnyRaz]

picked up one of these on ebay there a week or so ago. Tis indeed a nice old pedal...

The reason being, is that its the sound I've always been after. Its the perfect blend of crunch and grindy distortion, to mellow overdriven "bluesy" sounds.
I love it.

There is a robert keeley mod that I'm curious to hear.
But I wouldn't get my factory pedal modded, its perfect, I'd get a second.

So... whats yours?

 

[big homeless]

since I'm new the forum won't let me post pics but I use the Mesa Boogie V twin, it looks like a bit of metal and produces some good sounds, it is a preamp and great for recording. I like it.

DS1. Anyone who says its not class is a fag.

 

[Willie Willions]

Because delay is The Greatest Effect Of All Time.

Hmmm ill be looking to get a new delay soon. You recommend this huh? Highly?

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

I need to line 25 delay pedals up in a row and find the right one.

the line6 echo park one is really nice, simple as Tubridy if you like it that way but capable of doing almost anything . Much warmer and analog sounding than that big filthy green Line 6 as well. Only thing is the pedal part itself feels like it's going to break everyttime I step on it.
