    It really is. The one I snagged is actually the updated version that came out a few months ago. They added a speed led, put it in a smaller box and added a notch in the rate switch for the filter matrix.

    I got a great 2009 American Fender Strat (used), Soul Food overdrive pedal which I'm still toying with, and a 100W Fender Champion.
    Anybody know of any really good phaser pedals or distortion pedals? I like using my Soul Food as a clean boost b/c the gain on it is only ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pretty expensive too, but I guess you get what you pay for!

    Congrats on your strat!! I really like the MXR Super Badass distortion. It has an EQ, and you can get a wide range of OD/Distortion out of it. That was an early Christmas present to myself.

    MXR Phase 90 is the classic. I love it. Distortion...The DS1 is always a classic. The BD2 Blues Driver is the most versatile IMO. Everything from clean tube break up/clean boost all the way to a heavy crunch. I'm not obsessed with the boutique pedals (like some). I've got about 5 or 6 Dist/OD pedals on my board. The BOSS pedals are great for modifying, too.

    Thanks for the advice. I checked out the DS1 and really like it, but I also tried out the OCD and it sounded great as well. I think I'm gonna get a DS1 and mod it though.
    Since you were so helpful with that, do you know of any great delay pedals?

    Depends on what you're looking for. The cheap PB&J delay from Danelectro was good but not road worthy (good if you aren't jumping and gigging with it). Decent for short delays. My favorite is the Digitech X-Series Delay. I've got two on my board. Very versatile. The BOSS DD6 is more expensive and does basically the same thing as the X-Series. The Ibanez AD9 Analog is decent analog but you can't get that crazy warp sounds. I have the MXR Carbon Copy analog delay and it's the best analog delay for the price. Gives me a great harsh delay but also good for smooth subtle analog sound. Finally, the BOSS reverb/delay is decent for reverb and very short delays. Like I said, it all depends on what you're looking for and how much you're looking to spend. Again, I'm not the biggest into boutique pedals because I can't afford them and I never got into the major hype over the indie craze. There are some great ones out there but I just never tried them. Hope this helps.

    Used a gift card to get a TC Electronic Flashback Mini Delay Pedal. Have read a lot of positive reviews. Cant wait to get it and test it out.
    PLEASE give us a review!

    So Ive been playing around with this pedal for about a week now and as much as I would love to give a review of it, I feel as if I am not qualified. I still consider myself in the beginner/intermediate phase as I have only been learning/playing for about two and a half years. Second, this is the first delay pedal that I have owned. Its hard for me to compare it to anything else. With that all said, I can say that this pedal will serve MY needs and wants as it pertains to sound with no problem. Having an unseasoned ear, I still can tell that it is versatile enough to probably meet the needs of a wide spectrum. Tweeking the settings really can take delay to where you want it. My one recommendation is that I would go for the TC Flashback Delay and Looper Pedal with four knobs instead of the Mini Pedal with three knobs. The four knob pedal has all the tone prints already on the pedal and a turn of the knob can change each one. With the mini, it comes loaded with the 2290 delay and you can change the tone prints but requires you to download them onto the pedal. I have been fortunate to have received great advice and knowledge from friends who have played for many years as well as other 10c members who have shared their knowledge and insight as well. Both have been an invaluable service to me and pursuit to be a better player.
  • Thanks for the review. I never knew about the downloading thing. I might shy away from it because of that.

    I like the idea of the Catlinbread Dirty Little Secret. I'd also like a small, cheap practice amp. And of course a 59 Les Paul. :)
