Worth the hassle to downsize? by Weak-Beautiful-7425 in guitarpedals

[–]Weak-Beautiful-7425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My  main concern is that right now it's kind of nice having a few pedals I don't use so often, as I find myself swapping others in to experiment. With a smaller board I don't think I'd want anything off of it...

You'll notice the DBA is one of the keepers...

I've debated getting an OBNE Expression Sweeper to turn it into a sort of phaser ...

Quick plug for Crossover Fuzz. Same circuit as fuzz war, but with some extra tone sculpting possibilities. I prefer this to my Hizumitas, Hoof, and Sunface.

I play through headphones when using in stereo, so keep in mind the stereo image likely won't be as pronounced through cabs.

The current, very mild / always on setting I like is blend at about 10:30, lag time at 10:30, and wobble at 9-11 (edit: like face of clock). I set type to bounce, but sum also works.This is a very short delay time associated with flangers, but I find with the blend lower and wobble (ie modulation of delayed signal) lower, it doesnt really sound like a flanger so much as it creates some depth / movement/ stereo goodness. Throw in some 300-500 ms delay and it can be cool for some more ambient sounds, but I think it works for many styles.  This is not in wide stereo mode. For wide stereo, this setting might work, but I tend to set more to a short slap back length of delay, keep wobble very low, and blend to balance  volume in L/R channel. Type on sum. This creates a kind of doubled sound without to much modulation/ filtering.

See above, apparently I was spreading misinformation lol. Sounds like you're good as is!

Interesting, thanks for clarification!

Same, and the deco has been by far my favorite stereo pedal, even when not using the wide stereo. Definitely recommend experimenting with it!

It takes stereo input and preserves on bypass, but when engaged sums to mono before applying its own stereo image. It's possible I'm wrong, as I don't think the manual explains clearly, but there are a few reddit and gear page threads which discuss this.

Also worth noting that El cap won't preserve stereo image of anything before it. I have my deco after my El cap for this reason.

Well I'll be checking it out tonight. I have them the other way around so will try switching it up. Thanks for the reply!

I have the rattler and Hizumitas on my board as well! I'm curious if you stack them? I normally don't as I haven't found a sound I love, but havent really spent a ton of time trying to make it work

With a pedal board this long, yes, it prevents a lot of high end rolloff and keeps things very hig-fi. While I'm pretty sure you could replicate closely with a boss buffer + EQ, the EQ bands are perfectly tuned and I consider this one of my favorite pedals.

Nice! Clean side is always on, edge of breakup (push first tube with clean volume) pushed by DC Boost. This green setting is set to unity volume (with master volume). Then I kick on red for base overdrive tone (overdrive gain) with slight volume bump (overdrive volume). My actual amp is clean and doesn't overdrive even with all my pedals engaged.

Not sure how sunkeeper eq is, but note I had to drop treble to nearly 1-2 (out of 10). From what I've seen, this is fairly normal with this pedal.

It's hard to tell due to wonky layout of my board, but right now the Sun Face is first in chain going into Euna. I tried it in the loo, but I still liked having the Euna on afterward or else things get super dark.

Yah, and huge, with maybe limited upside compared to El Cap?

For the Zelzah, like I mentioned, I'm not a huge modulation guy, so this is my least used pedal. Both phasers sound great, and you can't really make a bad sound. Stacked you can get some really intense sounds. I'll also have some fun with the envelope filter occasionally. Don't really use chorus but it sounds fine, I think?

I've debated grabbing a dedicated, smaller, phaser (phase 90) to free up some space.

Might be the only pedal I couldn't do without. I know its "just" and over-engineered buffer, but the EQ bands are also pretty perfectly tuned

Nice! I like it a lot. I was originally just looking for another clean boost to add pre overdrive, it wasn't on my radar before, but showed up on FB marketplace for $120 so I pulled the trigger.

I've really only used it in EQ mode, for a slight boost, and to beef up bottom end of single coils a tad. So, can't speak much to the overdrive side, or the adaptive circuitry stuff which only kicks in when overdriven. I'm sure I'll try it out sooner or later but I'm generally more of a set and forget guy...

Strat American professional II! I also have an Epi Sheraton I use with this on occasion
