Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

Drama? Responsibilities? Even more curious now.

For future reference, next time you want to remain anonymous don't tell everyone your a professional musician and expect people to not be curious about your band.

New Pedal Day Sparkle on November 27. My new 2013 limited edition DOD Phasor 201 and DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 vintage reissue pedals arrived at my house! Thanks to Tom/Digitech for surprising me by sending these out well before they go retail probably in late December. He called me a "Keeper of the Flame" for being such a big fan of the '79 grey spec DOD 250 and thought it was only right I should have the new versions of these vintage classics. What a great guy and company for doing this. Thanks Tom for all you do. I love the metal flake finish. The 250 really looks much better in person than in photos and shines like gold. The new 250 sounds fantastic, just like my 741 OD 'gray spec' clone with a nice thick bottom end and midrange tone! The Phasor is really interesting as I've never used that effect before. I didn't think they could improve on the '79 grey 250 but this new '13 gold DOD 250 Overdrive is the real deal. The Phasor 201 is going to be a great effect to have. Now I'm oozing in vintage mojo and gushing a bit. This new 'gold 250' is a clone killer!

My Pedaltrain Mini can only fit 5 pedals so I'm thinking of doing this new arrangement:

Fender Strat w/YJM-Fury > Boss NS2 Noise Suppressor > NS2 Send > MXR Dyna Comp > DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 > NS2 Return > NS2 Output > VHT Special 6 Ultra Combo Amp Input > Amp Send > DOD Phasor 201 > MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay > Amp Return

I'd need to get a new Dyna Comp (probably for Christmas) to complete the configuration I want and offload the Boss RC-3 because I really don't use it that much. Also I seem to be losing the novelty of using clone pedals in my rig, even the ones I had built for myself! Feels weird at the moment. I'm keeping them though for playing through my Line 6 Toneport GX computer interface when I don't feel like disturbing the peace with my tube practice amp.

So here's my current pedalboard layout since getting the new DOD pedals. Everything sounds pretty good together! I like minimalist rigs.

well it seems there is faction of members here who hate on little ol' UG. i have responsibilities not to embarrass people i have professional working relationships with.

i didn't tell everyone i was a professional musician in some grand pronouncement. somebody(ies) asked what i did for a living and i answered musician. i had already agreed not to advertise nor market my band/label/studio when i found this great website, even before I found the threads that were solely for said purpose. i understand curious, this is blown way out of proportion. i'm just a guy like you who loves the fuzz

those look sweet what are the main differences between your 79 grey and the vrgold?

So today is re-do pedalboards day. One for solo shows, one for band / recording stuff, and one for my keyboardery-synth times.

Some of the collection;




Solo board done.. Added the RC-3, changed out Thru-Tone Ernie Ball for the Boss volume pedal (EB is going onto the Pedaltrain).

nice collection, we both use the shiva, distater transport, and i play a shin-ei fy-6. superfuzz is top notch
its been re-do month(s) around here. workin out new material so its a free for all over here:lol:

have fun

Thanks mate! I feel a little guilty as I've been contemplating letting go of the FY-6 - I've been using the Boss FZ-2 for very similar tones; the EQ and smaller form-factor are a big appeal. That said, if I could magically trade the FY-6 for an FY-2, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I love the Wattson build quality and aesthetics.

Likewise, actually it's weird I've been working on acoustic material, although you wouldn't know it from my pics above. I am planning on combining really warm acoustic stuff with drones from my Grendel (into El Capistan) when it arrives.

have fun

Thanks again!

I've never played a wattson, but they look top notch recreations. it took me awhile, cause i wanted shin-ei branded and not jax or however many others, but I finally landed two minty near mint lovelys...a fy-6 and fy-2. at the moment I'm on the other side of the coin and really exploiting the harmonic overtones of the octave fy-6. that and my foxx tone machine, which is another beast of a pedal worthy of is status. They stack real nice with careful tonal adjustments.


man, i love mic'in an acoustic while having a death by audio fuzz war in the aux loop on the board. that and an old vintage fuzz that's gated in another loop, like a maestro fz-1a. once its fuzzed up it takes to modulation better in my opinion. then mixing the two together or...whatever. it's just funny that when i think of recording an acoustic my mind goes right to fuzz

if you're interested go back about 9 pages or so and over the days i was posting what my set up was. diverse.

got inspired

shin-ei fy-2 > echoplex ep-2

oh boy. here we go again

Sound-wise they are identical since the new metallic gold 250 uses the same '79 grey circuit and 741 OPA. Physically the new pedal uses surface mount SMT parts which is probably better because they have tighter tolerances than 20% to the original engineering specs. Here is a new 250 gut shot that Digitech provided and their video demos for both the 250 and 201:

Thats impressive
Thanks for the gut shot, was wondering what was under the hood.
Thanks again

pigdog spectrafuzz is one damn fine rangemaster clone. its one big ass pedal too, saw on his site that he's retired this casing. the gain is huge as well and there is some seriously lovely colour to the buzzz on tap.

audio designs fuzzound is a nice contrast to the spectrafuzz. it's lower gain but has a more intense buzzzz/fuzzzz that at times can sound on the verge of tearing a hole in the space-time continuum. at extreme settings gets into interesting gated sizzles, to full on fuck od crackle.

spectrafuzz > fuzzound > echoplex ep-2

[myrrh]

Wow, how many jazzmasters do you have?

So far I have seen three? red, black and white?
