    I took this picture last night. It's the misfit pedals that aren't on my board but I can't seem to bring myself to sell them.

  • Harmonica Board (for real!)
    I love this board! The one pictured a few pages ago, other than the Pog and the Lex, was a board full of unused pedals that were not specifically acquired for harmonica. This board however is all harmonica. The blue pedal with the target is a Harp Octave. It's not really an Octave pedal though, more of a tone and overdrive fattener.

    That's a great pedal.

    Most of the older photocell vibes sound great but are also a little dark. I read in a tech manual a long time ago that designers selected cap values to roll off the high end in an attempt to reduce hiss/noise from the circuit. It's not much of a problem if you keep the Vibe on for a whole song and can compensate for it somewhere else in the chain but using the Vibe for just a lead or chorus or something always drove me nuts. Every time I switch on my MicroVibe, I have to turn up the tone control on my guitar to compensate for the loss of highs. It takes away the brightness or openness if that makes sense. 

    Having EQ right in the circuit on the pedal really simplifies things. Congrats!

    thanks man. i really like it. i have played it with my blues junior the last couple of days and it sounds killer with my tele and my les paul with paf pickups. i plan to plug it in with my main marshall tonight or tomorrow and see how it sounds. 

    the main reason i bought this is because of the level control and the on board bass and treble knobs. i had read that there is some volume and treble drop off with certain univibe pedals. i figured i might as well spend an extra $50 to compensate for that. can't wait to dial in some live yellow ledbetter tones with my strat, haha.

    funny that i was neve ever a "modulation" guy, but I am really liking starting to experiment with it.

    Just opened this birthday present from a good friend!!




    Any reviews here? 

    I can’t wait to plug it in. 

    Edit: D’oh! I don’t think this one takes a 9 volt battery but rather a DC 9-volt jack, which I don’t have at the moment.

    is that a chorus or a tremolo?

    I'm flattered that you think I would know the difference.

    Had to look at the owner's manual; it says that it has "classic chorus sound," so I'm going to go with chorus. Guessing that's going to sound layered.

    I like tremolo. Cool that they have pedals for that. I use the whammy that came with the guitar I bought and kind of shake the guitar around a bit. A pedal seems like it might be easier.

    very cool. yes some of the tremolo pedals i have seen are more versatile than the old amp style tremolo. some of them are a bit over the top for my tastes though. 

    i like chorus. hopefully that one sounds as cool as it looks.

    This one is a BYOC Mouse. Built from a kit. Very versatile, even by Rat standards. It has 3 clipping modes (Si, LED and Ge) and the ubiquitous LM308.

    I can't compare it to some of the other boutique Rat clones out there but I think it sounds great. Good quality components in the BYOC kits.

    that looks awesome!!

    that LM308 is the big component of the rat, correct?

    if i could solder i would be all over trying to build pedals.

    Thanks.

    Yes, the LM308 is the chip that was used in the originals and is considered by many to be superior to the modern equivalent. Much like the JRC4558 is the IC for the Tube Screamer.

    Just finished up some major pedal buying/pedalboard surgery. Maybe dump the acoustic sim and get a ditto, but otherwise really happy with how it turned out

    So you guys all take these boards out and play in public (assuming pre-COVID) or are some of these just to have the home setup a little cleaner?
