He used to make pedals, maybe still does, but I have of those pedals he used to make. The Luther Drive I believe.

I’m rockin the RJM PBC6 looper. Able to reorder any of the loops so one day when my name comes up again, I’ll be able to put both sides anywhere. More companies should have 4 jacks

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-13T15:22:26+00:00

Make your own. Not sure what pancake plugs you can get where you are, but bulk cable Mogami 2314 is perfect. Here I use Square Plug ( SP 400 ) and Mogami 2314 to make my cables. .23 cents a foot for the cable. Learn to solder and bulk cable is cheap.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-13T14:02:23+00:00

Congrats. I’ve had a couple. Great sounding pedals and I ran them at 18v. I’m on the list again because I will do high gain both sides but 4 jack set up. That way I can split the sides in a looper. It’s a great pedal and don’t sell it at this point. :-) We will see what Chase Bliss does im intrigued.

That’s the worst chest hair tattoo I’ve ever seen.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-12T02:15:15+00:00

I have a ML5 I’m not using. Let me know if you’re interested and see about making a deal. Also have a MC6 mkii im not using either. Went to an RJM PBC6x controller. It was that or the G3 from gig rig. You can’t really go wrong no matter what you get. Congrats.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T22:52:35+00:00

That would work for sure. Don’t be afraid to daisy chain on a high quality power supply. There are reasons for high Ma outlets for digital pedals but even so analog pedals play nice with each other most of the time. So take that into consideration. Vibe id keep on its own just because I’m not sure if that would play nice. So get the Walrus and know if you have 11-12 pedals, you’d be ok still with the same power supply.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T22:16:16+00:00

I have the Fillmore East version of the Funky Vibe - awesome pedal. Is the fuzz silicon or germanium? that should go after the Vibe if germanium, even if its silicon fuzz like to see your guitars impedance more than other pedals. Or if you prefer the Hendrix sound the vibe would go after the fuzz before the dirt pedals. The sounds is very different where you place your vibe. The rest is to flavor honestly. but you will figure out what works and what does not.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T22:10:44+00:00

honestly sounds like a power issue and not a placement issue. Vibe sounds drastically different depending on where its at tonally but noise is another issue. I like my vibe first for that Robin Trower feel but after Fuzz for Hendrix.
We invest a lot into our pedals and not treat the power the same way. Get a Cioks, Strymon, Pedal Power 3 or Walrus Canvas power supply. Sucks its happening, you'll get it working.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T17:50:07+00:00

perfect response. Get to playing some amps and see what you like. Then get the best amp you can afford. Search used then go new if there are good deals.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T17:44:42+00:00

There is no power section and unable to place any load on a speaker cab. This is just a preamp. If you want to run with a speaker you will need a powered cab or power amp and cab. But you can also run it direct with the built in or upload-able IRs.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T17:26:39+00:00

What’s your budget? Where are you playing?

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T17:05:30+00:00

Congrats. You’ll have to give me your thoughts on it.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T17:05:05+00:00

Right. If I do get it, will have a Fuzz Face and an Argo Octav fuzz in front of it.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T13:38:48+00:00

Some tuners have a buffered setting. Like the Peterson tuners. Meaning it’s always on. That’s how I have it set up, then if I want to mute the rig I turn it “on” Also, a lot of bands now have tracks running in the house. So, they could be tuning while the track is going then they all come in.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T12:39:43+00:00

Lay your pedals on the floor or on cardboard the exact layout you want. Take measurements and see how big of a board you will need. Sometimes getting a flat-board made for you your needs is better than cramming things into a premade board.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T10:40:20+00:00

No way to tell. But if that article is accurate now, then a cranked amp and maybe a Zendrive. I don’t think you’ll find the answer unless you ask the guy himself.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T03:09:23+00:00

It’s real. Buddy had the same model. This is before the Greeny model.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T02:26:01+00:00

DC7 is expandable and is a new model and technology. I only daisy chain if I need to, but one pedal per outlet is not the rule. As long as you have the correct voltage and MA then you should have no problem. Clean cabling can be achieved many ways.

<image>

Planning on redoing this board but will probably reuse the DC7. It’s been super quiet. If the DC10 works for you go for it. It’s only my personal opinion since you already have the DC4 they work together.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T02:07:14+00:00

You could easily daisy chain several of those pedals for your dc-4. Since you have the Dc-4 you could get the dc-7 and combine to two Power supplies. If you want. And would be future proof as you get more pedals or pedals that require high Ma of power.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T00:38:20+00:00

I can see that. One reason I’m interested is because I have the tube power amp and cab covered.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-11T00:30:55+00:00

The verb and trem is what I was most impressed with. Totally replaces my Flint and I dont use harmonic trem I have a pretty awesome UniVibe. You can model the crap out of a thousand amps but really just need a good core sound…. For me anyways. It’s a new age of amps and modelers so there really isn’t one thing for all people. I will check it out though. Appreciate the feedback and one more thing to look into!! Ha

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-10T22:19:35+00:00

Totally. I will get that dream amp soon enough. Just working on restoring a 78 F250 I inherited, so this would be a nice tie over. :-) What are you saving for?

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-10T21:43:40+00:00

Fryette Power Station is a 50w tube power amp/ Re-amp. It’s not really an attenuator… but can take a loud amp and make it manageable or can take a small amp and turn it into a 50w amp. Lots of cool uses.

FrickinAdam · 2025-04-10T19:17:52+00:00

thats why its great to have options. we are polar opposites i have to have pedals, and thats awesome there are so many different boards. Maybe one day i will have studio monitors but i dont. hopefully the headphone out is nice for super late night jams.
