KillerIsMe

I just got a shiny blue box from the postman

wow, tons of compression from that thing. boy is it cool but maybe not quite for my setup. holy crap for a little blue blues pedal it sure has a lot of gain.

what is the sole pressure like?

Goddamn, that's a sexy rig. What other gear do you use? I'm goin MIDI here pretty soon, no more pedal dancing. But for now...

Crybaby-Volume-DOD Overdrive-Marshall JH1 Distortion-MXR Phase 90-Ibanez Delay. Amp switch for dist. and chorus. With an SKB pedalboard.

Finally finished the collection with a Line 6 Tap Tremolo. I've also got an order in for a Shannon Overdrive, once I get paid for my Marshall combo, but that'll probably be a stand-alone unit (not on the board).

How's your Pedal Power 2 treating you? Loving mine to death. I'll have to make an adjustment when the Tremolo gets here, though... I've already used up all my outlets. I'll probably put the two Keeley's on a Y-cable. I'll also have to figure out if the Tremolo uses the Line 6 adaptor, or a standard Boss... no worries, I have both, but it'd be nice to know. At least it's 9v, don't have to flip one of those damn little switches.

Is that a SoundTank, or the PH7 or PT9? Some of those Ibanez Phasers are pretty frickin' cool... My first phaser was a SoundTank PH5, and it was okay... the switch was pretty well gone by the time I was done with it, but it sounded alright. I'm more happy with my Phase 90, although I kinda miss a depth control.

i hope you like it and if not, it'll go on ebay for at least what you paid for it i think. that delivery was faster than i thought it would be.

the sole pressure is less transparent. the gain is focused on the lows and mids which is perfect for me. there isn't as much "clean" gain available in the level control but tons in the drive control.

it's plugged into a fender deluxe reverb with a vintage 30 and a hotplate most of the time.

thus you have the rust booster.

The BD2 is really clean and nice by itself. I don't know I couldn't put my finger on it the first hour or so but my roommate called it. He says, wow that's a lot more compressed. There is much much more clarity from the BD2 in comparison to the Rat but the Rat still sounds damn nice. I'm not unhappy with the purchase at all I just think having 2 similar OD's might be redundant and at volume I'm not sure if the sound plays well with my personal rig. (the looseness of the open back cab and the lower wattage of my Orange contribute to a loss of tightness when both the BD2 and Barber are engaged, it's almost like too much of a good thing. However, it is extremely bluesy and a damn nice OD. I'll probably kick myself to sell it, but I'd like to try a Barber DDSS with the DD and maybe sell the rat (although this too may prove to be a stupid move) and put a Big Muff in it's place.

I'm getting bored I guess looking down at the PB lately. I think I'm going to put an orange LED in the Direct Drive. I'm not sure exactly why, but I love that thing. I've been kicking around getting a Burn Unit EQ instead of the other too as well and perhaps a Tone Press when I dump the comp. I like that little Maxon unit you have as well.

in the end, what I really want, is the orange running into a seperate 2x12 or 4x10 closed back cab and a DR (or Princeton Reverb) running in stereo, this of course if I don't get one of those unbelievably awesome lacquered Bassman RI's and a Wiggler. Those bassmans make you want to forsake all pedals, but one could never really do that. I'm also still kicking around getting a 69 fuzz too just because they are fairly cheap on Ebay and I'm going to want a fuzz when I eventually get some semblence of a vibe pedal.

i tried a fulltone 70 last night. quite nice but nothing i can't do already with my double muff and turning the amp up.

i'd prefer the 69 i'm sure but i've never had opportunity to play one.

the sole pressure just suits the DR i feel. that amp takes a low-mid boost very well. the new speaker's starting to break in a bit too so the sound's just getting better and better. i haven't played anything but my SG in days.

I'm interested to try Fred Bronte's (Black Cat) Superfuzz and local boy Nick Greer's Black Fuzz. The rat is a fuzz bomb but it's always fun to see what other stuff can do.

i have some fuzzes in the pod to play with as well. that's kinda why i'm not bothering getting a vexter fuzz factory. it's not a full time effect anyway. i just need it once in a while for certain things.

the 70 seemed too dark for me. too much colouration or something. i don't know.

yeah, fuzzes are really particular, that's one reason I was going to buy a CC2, I figured if I didn't like the config, I could just change it.

Maybe I should look harder at the ZIM.

the ZIM will be very appealing once the big muff and fuzz face cards are ready for it.

definately. I didn't know those were in the works.

for whatever reason, he's been really slow to release them.

for now it's just buffer/boost and tube screamer variations it seems.

yeah, right now it kind of feels like I have too much of the same thing with the 2 overdrives, they aren't really too different than what I have already except for some smoothness. I know it would be different with a different amp, I know what I really need at the moment is a very clean presence boost just to give me that solid fat clean without going over the top. I can get it it just takes some adjustment. Some of that is not the pedals but the amp/speaker combo itself.

I like the ZIM because essentially like most of the barber stuff you can adjust it to your setup.
