Chorus (MXR Analog Chorus or Strymon Ola for stereo) 4. TC Electronic Alter Ego (3 programmable 'analog style' delays + tap tempo all from independent foot-switches) 5.

@@drock2313 Hi - there are a few vids floating around on KZbin. It's designed by a friend of mine in New Zealand called Paul Crowther, formerly the drummer with NZ band Split Enz (which sort of morphed into Crowded House). Very versatile pedal - from light overdrive thru to terrific cutting lead solo stuff. I bought one in the mid '70s and another one when that got stolen and recently got the Double Hot Cake from Paul, which combines the original with another pedal he designed and you can daisy chain both for a 3rd 'fat' drive. Pretty well every Kiwi guitarist owns one and I believe Mark Knopfler & Noel Gallagher also owned them. Well worth checking out - you can order direct from Paul.

My short answer: (1&2)Overdrive + Boost/Overdrive/Volume (3)Compressor (4)Reverb (5)WILD CARD! but probably chorus My long anwswer: I've really enjoyed tooling around with my old Line 6 M13 -- it was not "old" when I got it, so maybe that just means *I'm* old. It still sounds great and has allowed me to dial in some really specific tones, but I wouldn't say they're as perfect as you get out of your Strymon Flint in the above example, for instance. I'm now looking at a handful of individual pedals that provide top tone but also a degree of versatility. (1&2)For overdrive & boost, I'm now looking hungrily at the Strymon Sunset, which among other things takes an expression pedal input in a variety of creative ways. I've known for a long time that Eric Clapton's "secret weapon" in his signature Strats, and the thing that has allowed him to outgrow the massive Gibsons from his Cream days, is an absurd 25dB active mid-boost that's right on-board the guitar. I'm not really interested in carving up a guitar to put that in, but a boost pedal that clicks on or off doesn't provide nearly the level of on-the-fly control that lets him shape his dirt in very organic ways that give that famous human-voice richness to guitar parts that are otherwise fairly straightforward pentatonic stuff. So my plan at present is to set one of the Sunset channels as overdrive, one as boost, and control the amount of boost feeding into the overdrive by way of an expression pedal. Maximum tonal shaping on the fly. Does that count as two pedals because of the expression pedal? If so, fine, I'll count it as two. The expression pedal, through the Sunset, would count as a separate volume pedal for swells & such. So I guess I'll count it as two pedals collectively. IN a pinch, if I NEED to go a lot more heavy than I normally do, for metal and the like, the Sunset will let me feed an overdrive into an overdrive instead of a clean boost into an overdrive, sacrificing a little bit of that perfect solo-guitar tone sculpting to get me closer to the really thick fuzz sounds of the heavier distortion that I don't often have much use for. Most of the time the amp I play through has its own high-gain models that already add to distortion, and I don't ever need more distortion, no matter how metal I get, than OD + OD + the high gain "metal" modeled amp would give me. (3)Everybody needs a compressor. I don't know what to do here. For now, the M13 has some good-enough options and I just dial them in without thinking too much about what they are. The "red" model, I think, is my go-to? Probably on a dedicated board of single-use pedals I'd want something like a Keeley, but this isn't something I've had much time to learn about as separate units. (4)Everybody needs reverb. My unit, because the price was right, is the TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2, which is the first pro quality reverb I've ever owned that was just a straight reverb unit. The price was actually BETTER than right, because I ordered the HoF2 and they sent me the bigger 2x4 version by mistake. One of the additions to the larger unit is a proper Shimmer function, which is one of the reasons I was really lusting after the Strymon flagships - the BlueSky, or the way-too-much-for-my-needs BigSky. The truth is that I could go down the rabbit hole of reverb tones forever, and this is the exact right unit for a connoisseur to have: it gives me enough options and flexibility to do a lot of things, but the BigSky, when I look at it, is so theoretically infinite that I'd just sit in a room dialing in reverb settings for the rest of my life and never record or tour anymore. I'm very happy with this one. (5): ????? Here is where the idiosycratic stuff comes in. What do I use the last spot for? Chorus? Delay? Tremolo? That classic orange phaser? The now-discontinued, completely nuts Hatsune Miku pedal that makes me sound like an anime pop idol? The first thing to mind, because I'm in a Clapton headspace owing to the Sunset OD above, is that I love, love the sound of the Dytronics CS-5 Tri-Stero Chorus, a rackmount unit from the 80s that was part of his 24 Nights sound, and a big hit among LA session players like Michael Landau and Steve Lukather. If I was going to rely on one chorus unit, it'd be a n affordable stompbox that knocks off this unit... Earthquaker makes the Aurelius Tri-Voice Chorus, which might be one I'd want to try, especially given my newfound love of plugging that expression pedal into every stompbox I can. There's a lot of tonal shaping possible here, and I feel like that would quickly become the "special sauce" that makes an otherwise conventional sound I play into something that others could duplicate 90% by ear, but never 100%. Again, the M13 has a decent tri-chorus copy on-board, and so I think we're coming back to the idea that the M13, or the smaller one-or two-pedal equivalents, the M5/M9, would BE the fifth pedal, just because the versatility is there to make the "wild card" pedal whatever I need it to be.

@seal-nowweretalking67536 ай бұрын
@drock2313 That’s a very good question. I tend to always put some kind of amp/cab sim pedal at the head of every board I’ve been having built recently for the simple reason being ‘why not 🤷🏾’. With features like a ‘headphone out’ and in the case of the DSM Humboldt Simplifier mkii, an ‘aux-in’ for plugging in music from your iPhone to practice in your hotel room or bedroom, I figure it gives you the option of bypassing it by turning it off and playing through a real amp or in the absence of one … going straight to FOH. Also the Iridium has decent Room verb on the right side as you know. The Deco is probably the pedal I’d request to be buried with, it’s that good in my opinion and is on every board I’ve ever built. It’s just so versatile providing everything from tape sat-chorus/vib/double tracking borderline delay and great modulation Hope that helps. ✌🏾&💜

@@RevvAmps I've actually noticed the opposite - if anything it adds high end, but I also started with an Aqua Puss, which cuts the high end way off I think by design. Since I only have the two pedals (I don't even have my tuner in the chain) and Strymon's default bypass buffer is excellent it's indistinguishable from being plugged straight in. Plus I only use a 10 foot cable with a 5 foot going into the amp - the pedals sit next to the amp. Not really a need to have reverb or delay in front of me. Either the song calls for it or it doesn't.
