Cheap Shoegaze Pedals from Amazon part 1

Cheap shoegaze pedals from Amazon that I love
No talking - just playing some Shoegazey riffs.
I also play some metal/metalcore because the p pi fuzz can do that too.
Each of these pedals were under $50 new
Twinote P pi fuzz - $17
Kmize Overdrive - $17
Moval Falling Star Modulated Delay - $40
Behringer digital Reverb - $45
Kmize Chorus - $17
Total new = $136

The Twinote Pi Fuzz is one of the best bargain, extremely versatile and overlooked pedals i have ever found.

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@ronkusmier143 couldn’t agree more. I’m guilty of not using it as much as it deserves cause it absolutely rips

[@joeduncan4971]

I could listen to this shit for days

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@joeduncan4971 too kind

[@gelatinspiders]

Even if you don’t end up liking the behringer digital reverb, you can always use it to split your signal!

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@gelatinspiders didn’t think of that. Sweet!

[@onlyusernameleft2]

​@@Ian-Threadedparallel signal processing is GOATed.

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@onlyusernameleft2 absolutely

[@clown4932]

do you mind explaining that to me pls?

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@clown4932 you could use it to send your one guitar signal to two different amplifiers if you wanted. Could have one amp setup with a nice tight distortion and the other amp setup very fuzzy and loose and get a crazy sound from two totally different sounds at the same time. Can do many other things but that’s probably the first thing most people would think of

[@gupster24]

Ive been using the twinote pedal for shoegaze and grunge for nearly 5 years already, it does so many cool sounds and the mid control is incredibly helpful and can even get it into some of HM-2 sounds if you turn it up, not to mention if you turn every knob up it feedbacks also

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@gupster24 that’s awesome. Have you used it jamming with other people at all? I haven’t yet but I think it would cut through a band mix situation pretty well. Reminds me of maybe a Russian muff with way more gain and more mids to be heard and not lost in a mix. Got mine a couple years ago (but not as long ago as you) and then they seemed to be hard to find for a while. Glad to see they are easy to find again currently.

[@gupster24]

@@Ian-Threaded yeah, ive been using it with jams, thats where the mid control comes out best as youre able to still keep clarity but with more upper and regular mids added in, should also mention it makes for an awesome bass distortion as well as ive been using it for both ever since ive gotten it off of wish in 2019 lol

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@gupster24 that is sick to know. I have been trying to copy Cloakroom’s pedalboard and this has kind of been my budget solution to their vintage Russian muff. Now I definitely gotta try it in a jam situation given your positive experience. Great to know that it rips on bass too. Such a cool pedal that really seems to be its own take on a classic sound rather than basically a dead on copy of something else with nothing new to offer

[@gupster24]

@@Ian-Threadedthe original nux pedal this brand is based on is kind of an enigma, as i dont think people have traced it back to anything yet. Though i think it has some rat lineage since the proco solo pedal has the same kind of sound to it

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@gupster24 ahhhh very interesting. Maybe like a rat with more gain cause like you said it’s got that rat character with that fuzziness in it. To me a rat is like 80 or 90 % distortion and then 10 or 20% fuzz

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@manualofalternativemusic can’t wait to see that when you release it. You did more with just two pedals than I ever imagined was possible. Unreal sounds

[@destroyallheresy]

I love this! Better tone than some big high production channels / setups, honestly. Haha what amp / speakers / cab are you running through?

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@destroyallheresy first of all thank you so much! you are not going to believe it but I was running the pedals through the clean channel of a Marshall MG 100 head (clean channel all knobs at noon with master volume barely on) into a katana 2x12 cabinet. Marshall MG amps are basically a meme and get made fun of a lot but they do not deserve the hate. Dave Simpson on KZbin has shown that. They are loud as heck and the speaker cabinet makes a big difference compared to the MG cabs they came with. I just love it for $100 bucks. People hear with their eyes unfortunately

[@GhostsOfJenova]

Bro i thought you were playing one of my songs lol. Your playing style is just like mine. Not just the chords, but the way you transition and move around the neck

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@GhostsOfJenova dude that’s sick I’ll check your stuff out

[@GhostsOfJenova]

[@gwugluud]

I’ve been starting to buy ridiculously cheap Temu stompboxes, and I haven’t been disappointed with one of them yet. There’s this one called “The Riffer” (not remembering what brand duh) that “woke up” my Ibanez 7-string, which normally sounds like mud lmao but that Riffer pedal brings out the low notes nice and sharp. And it’s just a cheap one that was about $20. Good rig, you sound good.

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@gwugluud thanks for the tip I gotta look that one up. Always looking for cool cheap pedals

[@mogfodan]

this is awesome

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@mogfodan thank you!

[@onlyusernameleft2]

I have a small pedal board with my HX Stomp and all my stereo pedals. It's a weird variety. Like Joyo next to Wampler, Amazon-only brands, the EHX Oceans 12, and a lot of Boss. I have a separate board for my dirt pedals and basically everything before the Stomp and that one is 75-80% Caline.

[@kalkoken7304]

Love the pedals but also great playing. Do you have any advice for general Shoegaze theory at all please? Chords/Tunings/Keys anything like that :)

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@kalkoken7304 thank you so much. As for general advice a lot of the bands I like are more modern shoegaze like Trauma Ray. A lot seem to use drop tuning and specifically drop C sharp. A lot of basing songs around the “Deftones” chord 9 9 11 x x x. Wouldn’t be a bad exercise to just look up tabs to one of their songs or other similar bands without knowing it and trying to make your own song using the chords and notes they used etc

[@kalkoken7304]

@@Ian-Threaded thank you so much for the advice!

snap. i've got the p'pi fuzz and the falling star on my board. if you ever want to more towards doom/stoner madness can i suggest the irin golden fuzz. I don't really use it much but it's awesome to know i can go brutal if need to.

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@tonebunker I gotta get one of those I’ve heard of the irin brand. Is it like an aculpulco gold?

[@tonebunker]

@@Ian-Threaded yea i got it because i read the cuvave/mvave fuzz (which i also have) was meant to be a woolly mammoth clone without the "pinch" control so thought this must be an other clone. turns out it is.

[@samuelwynn737]

What kind of chords are you playing at the beginning, sounds cool.

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@samuelwynn737 thank you for thinking they sound cool. The very first stuff I was playing was from my side project Strayline - Cause. I have a guitar tutorial up

[@facu6433]

Sounds so good, damn. What guitar are you using?

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@facu6433 thank you! That’s my 2007 Gibson SG faded cherry red with Duncan Distortion in the bridge. I forget what exact model of pickup I have in the neck but I think it’s a 59

[@oscarrameno6865]

I’m sure a better question would be, what kind of speaker is in his amplifier. With distortion and all of these effects running through- the guitar and pickups mean absolutely nothing when it comes to tone

[@facu6433]

@@oscarrameno6865 yeah... I was just curious though, cause he didn't show it... So... I asked

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@oscarrameno6865I pretty much agree with this except I was playing this same setup with my squier affinity jazzmaster before switching out for my SG and that squier’s pickups are so muddy that it did really make a difference. I’m one of those people who don’t believe in tone wood, $500 pickups, special tone capacitors that go for a fortune on reverb etc etc etc but I was surprised the difference I heard between my two guitars with very different pickups. It’s hard to hear all the notes in a big full chord as it is with the SG but it was even harder to hear each note in a big chord on the jazzmaster. Made a big difference for the little metal notes riffs too. Went from farting out and very bassy to pretty clear and such. Surprised myself honestly

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@facu6433if you are curious that was a Marshall MG head on the clean channel with everything at noon. Guitar cabinet was a boss katana 2x12 cab which was stock as far as I know. Both things I got used for pennies on the dollar and love. Great gig work horses that you don’t have to worry about too much

Have you tried setting the fuzz in a chain first and then the rest of effects?

[@Ian-Threaded]

@@Madolf yes it worked nicely for that and definitely had a sound but I prefer overdrives before my fuzz for sure. I also like putting the gated reverb on the Behringer as first in the chain for that type of blown out huge gated fuzz sound for certain songs
