Andy's Top 5 Pedals EVER: Part One | Reverb Tone Report

This was definitely an error, our apologies! If you know where we can find one for $50-99, we'd love to know... In the meantime, the general cost of the Belle Epoch Deluxe remains in the $280 - $360 range.

[@chrismetzler8049]

Predictions for the top two: Based on their presence on the pedalboard he took onto TPS, and how crazy happy/smiling he looks in the individual videos where he demos them: the Empress Phaser; and the Hamstead Odyssey Drive.

[@bradcarroll3719]

The Belle Epoch and the Echorec by Catalinbread are both magic in a box. There are plenty of great delays, but I haven’t found any that inspire me, or absolutely nail the respective sounds they are going for so perfectly. P.S. I do like to have a Carbon Copy on the floor for just great, plain old analog delay sounds as well.

[@jasondorsey7110]

@@CharlieMoney777 I've gone through several, nowadays I go with a plain old DOD from the 80s, so simple and intuitive it's easy to get it to do what I want, which is an issue with these more modern, feature-laden types

My guess for top 2 is a uni-vibe and a marshall-style overdrive.

Good call

Frank B Yeah my Ernie Ball VP pedal sucked because the string broke in less than 3 months, and that was after I thought I noticed it start crackling anyway. I've had my dunlop volume on my board for 2 years. Gears, no flimsy string.

[@frankb5728]

@@atonofspiders you can replace the string with a metal one.. I know it's more likely to break than gears but the action is so much smoother. the range of motion is also better... I am aware that wah pots usually have different knurls on their gear so a string pulley action might not be good enough for the purists.

I shit canned my wah wah decades ago. I just wasn't using it anymore. My favorite fuzz that I still own is a Top Fuel from Skreddy. You can't beat the original Carbon Copy for delay, still have one of those. My board right now is pretty scaled down after 37 years of playing: Top Fuel, Saucy Box, a Boss digital delay from the 80's (for U2 stuff), a Carbon Copy, a Boss Compressor from the 80's (the one Gilmour used) and a Blue Hippo Chorus.
