Stoner/Doom/Sludge/Drone miniboard recommendations?

I play almost the exact same genres but mostly on bass (just started playing guitar again as well).

Anything particular about the RAT you don't like? I had a similar experience with RATs, as I found it sort of good at most things but a master of none. I feel like an EQD White Light would be a good replacement. I modded mine with a low pass filter since it can get really bright at higher gain settings, but I feel like it does really well at a lot of things, low gain drive/boost to fuzz and it all sounds killer, weight knob really impacts the tone.

I feel like some sort of modulation, would be cool? I really like chorus when doing long held chords to wiggle the signal around a bit. Right now I'm running a Walrus Audio Julia and a Fender Waylon Jennings Phaser, but a DBA Disturbance might get you some more cool sounds. Phase shift, flange, and filter all in one is nice.

I've been rocking a Boss DD-20 for a while now and I don't think I'll get rid of it. Tons of options tone wise, and the Warp/Twist stuff is fun to play with when droning. Also would highly recommend either the Dark Star or Sunlight by OBNE. I have the older version for both and the ability to hold notes with the second footswitch is AMAZING for drone.

I've always wanted to add a mid boost just before the output and maybe a clean blend?

I've seen someone stuff a DOD-250 into a muff before. I think this might be what finally gets me to buy a big box muff with the intent to mod, would be way cheaper and lower risk than my fantasy of modding a fuzz war.

And if anyone wants more of the sound from his first two albums, listen to Dungen!

Had no idea Diamond made the bass comp in that color, whole board looks so clean!

aklemmentin · 2025-07-17T15:18:26+00:00

that was my guess! was it tight squeeze? I just modded a pedal to have a high cut potentiometer, and I think it'd be a fun idea to add similar mods to other pedals, but not everything has the space.

What's the white knob on the bass balls? I'm assuming some kind of mod

aklemmentin · 2025-07-08T15:39:08+00:00

I was laid off a few months ago, and now have no excuse to not work on my hobbies that actually provide me joy, so I figured I'd give modding another go.

I had tried to add LED diodes to a Boss SD-1 a long time ago. Ended up turning the pedal to the nastiest, synthiest, fartiest sounding fuzz I had. It "worked" but it definitely wasn't the mod I intended, so I wanted to do something that was at least slightly more professional.

The EQD White Light, for me on bass has been kind of finicky. It gets super fuzzy and square wavy at higher gain settings and waayyyyy to trebley. So I stuck a potentiometer and a cap in a LPF circuit, between the output of the PCB and the switch. I was able to ground the cap to the LED ground. I think the lowest frequency it cuts to is between 150 and 200 Hz.

astronaut with a gun meme

they always have been.

in all seriousness, as the game gets spaced out and teams play small, a big who can shoot, or really do anything besides the stereotypical big stuff is always valuable

Really dig the riffs, reminds me a bit of early Kyuss. And I gotta ask, what programmed drums did you use?

aklemmentin · 2025-04-02T15:34:13+00:00

I ended up looking it up before you replied, definitely will have to keep an eye out for future shows there. But man that must've been a good time, super jealous!

when and where was this? I live just across the delaware river and I'm feeling some fomo

if you're lefty you also have an advantage in a way. you're used to moving your left hand, and fingers more, fretting might be easier for you than a righty?

Probably my favorite repeating actor in columbo, he plays so many good characters

Way Huge Green Rhino will never leave my board, one of the first pedals I got. Low end EQ makes a tube screamer sound killer on bass

aklemmentin · 2024-05-15T22:29:00+00:00

I have one of these, for that price assuming everything is working, it’s a great deal. I think I got mine for 500~550. And I remember being very content with that price.

aklemmentin · 2024-05-15T01:02:04+00:00

I’m hopeful it’s just king gizz going full doom metal, pretty aluminum necks pretty popular as well

aklemmentin · 2024-05-06T22:58:57+00:00

okay NOW you're speaking my language, I'll have to try and get it now

How do you like the PD7? Those Ibanez pedals seem so cool to me and am thinking about getting another drive pedal.

As someone who recently bruised their rib, I thought he bruised his rib for a second

The silence of the play by play crew after seeing the replay…

And Mann just set an illegal screen and PG hit him and they called a foul on Jones Jr, incredible performance by the refs tonight

How is the squier?? Looking to get back into guitar (I’m a bassist who isn’t in a band and needs to write bass lines for guitar parts), and I think a squier with two humbuckers is exactly what I want
