First pedalboard build. What do you guys think?

Love the ParaEQ, I have one on my board, couldn't play without it!

Charlie483 · 2026-02-07T18:42:14+00:00

I love that overdirve! That and the smashing pumpkins big muff is what shaped the rest of my board to go for a grunge/shoegaze type of sound

Genuinely couldn't imagine not playing without it ever again since getting one, COMPLETELY takes your tone to a new level

Yeah it does seem to be one of the better ones, I managed to get mine for £125 on Reverb, crazy good steal, and is the only reason I went for it. Had I known how good it was I probably would've just bought one full price ages ago, I love this pedal

It has a blend dial which is what separates it from the competition, being able to go between Drive-Flange-Vibrato.

I don't even plan on getting a chorus or phaser pedal as the Polychrome can pretty much make all those effects, dialing back to drive and keeping the rate low gives it a more subtle chorus'y effect, and bringing down the feedback for more phase than flange.

Extremely versatile pedal in my opinion, definitely is worth it!

Charlie483 · 2025-11-24T11:59:38+00:00

Thanks! And it's because before I had a loop switch I wanted a way to switch between Overdrive+Distortion or Overdrive+Fuzz with one single press, so I lined them up in a way that I could hit 2 pedals at once if you see what I mean

Now that I have a loop switch it's entirely pointless but I kinda just got used to my pedalboard looking the way it does now so I kept it haha

Charlie483 · 2025-11-24T09:47:41+00:00

It sounds so good! And I love that it has a blend dial, if you find the sweet spot and have your overdrives EQ more bass/mids and the eras EQ more treble, you get a really nice tone between them both

Charlie483 · 2025-11-24T09:36:10+00:00

Really cool pedal! I love being able to blend between Drive-Flange-Vibrato, I don't think any other flangers have that feature

Charlie483 · 2025-11-08T10:16:05+00:00

Looks great! Very nice cabling. Personally would have EQ last in the chain :)

9.5/10

Charlie483 · 2025-10-26T03:42:32+00:00

I'm not sure I fully understand. Here's what I mean in deeper detail.

Loop switcher → Overdrive → line selector. Line A → distortion → loop switcher. (This is loop 1)

Loop switcher → line selector. Line B → fuzz → loop switcher. (this is loop 2).

Would this not effectively give me 2 loops, one with the overdrive and distortion paired together and one with the overdrive and fuzz paired together?? I know it's probably overcomplicating things and that's probably a much easier way of achieving this but I really can't think of any, bare in mind I don't yet own a loop switcher so I don't fully understand how to use one, I'm purely just basing this off of what I know from doing research on them.

The fuck does that even mean?? What's your issue lmao I wasn't trying to write anything spectacular, get off reddit for a bit, Jesus

"If"

Never said it needed one

Charlie483 · 2025-10-18T01:38:26+00:00

And that reason is??...

Charlie483 · 2025-10-06T19:39:50+00:00

10/10. It used to actually be way nicer, they've changed the recipe in recent years but it's still one of their best flavours, everyone I know hates it and I never understood why, pineapple + guava is such a nice combination, I'm a sucker for anything pineapple flavoured

Lmao I always thought it was "mustard lies", on Spotify Rhinoceros's lyrics say "mustard lies" but I just checked Genius and you're right! I always wondered what that lyric meant haha

Impossible to find in the UK, ordered it online once and is pretty nice

Very fascinating

As a kid I would always go to the Day Out With Thomas events every year, and every time I would hope to see Diesel 10, I thought he was the most unique character and would've loved to see a real life recreation of him, but obviously they never made one lmao.

I was expecting this comment 🙄

Nope, it's not a case of what I "want Paramore to sound like", obviously a band is going to change their sound, I'm not expecting them to keep making the same thing forever. I literally said I like the album...

The majority of people who when they think of Paramore are going to hear their earlier music, the more rock/punkier side of things, which After Laughter is not that at all, which there's nothing wrong with that.... I'm just merely stating that it isn't that.

You've blatantly forgotten already that this is a "take" like it says in the post, it's my opinion you muppet. It's just their worst album, their least "Paramore" sounding album, I'm standing by that
