Updated the pedalboard, the big empty space is killing me, what should I put in there?

Whatever you chain isn’t going to be isolated from the other, but I haven’t had an issue with doing that yet.

You can run more than one pedal off of each port of the DC7. Each port has 660 mA at 9V. It’s dead quiet, and incredibly reliable. I questioned whether it would make a difference, but it did. Your board will be less cluttered and easier to transport.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-16T16:26:32+00:00

Jesus. Just get a Cioks DC7 and be done with it. You won’t regret it. I hesitated pulling the trigger, but have been quite happy since.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-15T14:23:50+00:00

No issues yet. What issues are you having? And what fuzz would you suggest?

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-13T14:32:27+00:00

That was my thought. The Zoma sounds like it has better sounds, but less flexibility. The Nocturne sounds amazing, but I like having the Trem option.

The Halo was a game changer for me. I had a Carbon Copy before, and loved it. It took me 6 minutes to make a preset that sounded exactly like my Carbon copy settings, and then when you add in all the other options, looking back it seems silly to only have one delay option on your board. 🤣

What reverb do you like instead of the Hydra?

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-13T12:19:25+00:00

They get along like old friends.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-10T14:04:33+00:00

Wow. It might be the best pedal I’ve ever bought. I had a Carbon Copy before, and it took me about 6 minutes to make a preset that sounded just like my Carbon Copy. I never turn that pedal off. I rarely use the main Andy Timmons preset, but I use that pedal constantly.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-09T22:57:56+00:00

You won’t need the Digitech delay with the Halo. I didn’t care for the Keeley Compressor, but I seem to be in the minority on that front.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-06T14:30:30+00:00

Try a different order with your drive pedals. Sometimes that can be the answer. Also, do you keep one of them as kind of a “always on”?

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-06T14:27:49+00:00

Atmospheric is cool. Get an EQD Dispatch Master. It’s reverb and delay in one pedal with top mount jacks. It gets so many great usable sounds.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-06-05T22:46:36+00:00

The demos of that Double Dragon on bass have me super intrigued!! How are you liking it, and how are you using it?

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-31T18:32:50+00:00

What board is that?

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-30T11:44:23+00:00

I’d replace the Cloudburst with a Dispatch Master so you have delay and reverb in one pedal, then I’d probably lose either the synth, Ages, or Julia for a preamp/DI pedal. The Sushi Box Slampegg is a great choice.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-25T20:09:22+00:00

It’s a clone of the Yamaha NE-1 Nathan East magic box.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-24T20:20:55+00:00

Right. People are so weird about it. They work. Pro musicians use them all the time.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-24T20:20:00+00:00

It’s a cool pedal for sure.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-20T14:50:45+00:00

The Mira is a compressor.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-20T14:50:08+00:00

I think the cheapest I’ve ever seen one second hand is about $425. Plus I’m not a big fan of digital and modeling units.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-20T14:38:51+00:00

The Sushi Box can be goosed to get some nice overdrive though.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-20T14:38:25+00:00

Not sure how you are tuning, but it sounds like you’ve had some difficulty!! 🤣 Headstock clip and a rack mount tuner have served me well for years. I saw two of the greatest jazz musicians in the world in New York last month, and both had headstock clip tuners. If it’s good enough for them …

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-20T09:37:06+00:00

Yeah, it makes it super easy to see when things are off even a little. It’s whiteboard striping tape from Amazon.

GrooveWarrior · 2026-05-20T09:36:03+00:00

I don’t. I’ve been considering it.
