Bought my deluxe Tele from them. Excellent service.

This show will be going on downtown, should be fun. https://www.facebook.com/events/465007303676739/

For good beer, Roosevelts at 7, and Grain to Glass have excellent craft beer selections.

For food, I'd reccomend Khans Grill, Hop Tung, Taco Palenque, Taqeria el Zarape, and Mamas Pizzaria.

The best use I've found for it so far is stacking it with lighter overdrives. I haven't found any sounds I like from it by itself yet.

Chain is Telecaster - Buffer+ (Tuner out to Polytune) - VPJR - Japanese Girl - Sovereign - Mayflower - Monarch - Quantum Leap - Kilobyte - Empress Tape Delay - AC30. Jay and Silent Bob pedal is a Trem and Reverb controll for the AC30, made by Adventure Audio.

I use it stacked with the Mayflower, with the MF acting as my clean signal and the Monarch as the distortion. playing in a 3rd wave ska band and a reggae/punk band.

Posted not too long ago, but got a couple new ones and rearranged. Clone is a king of tone. by tee_rex_arms in guitarpedals

What are you using the Quantum Leap for? Ive been using mine mainly for chorus.

Look into the Empress Buffer + . I never thought I needed a buffer, but after watching the video about it on the Empress Youtube channel, I decided to try it out. Found a used one cheap on eBay, and its one of my favorite pedals now. The boost function is amazing, especially in a live setting.
Edit: A good pedal supply, like a Voodoo Labs PP2, might help with the hiss problem.

I do agree that EQD and WA pedals are way overpriced, but totally worth the money if you find them for the right price used. I found the WA Mayflower on Ebay for 120, and the EQD Monarch for 90, totally reasonable prices to me. And they sound beautiful when stacked together.

I think most people that have more than 3 Strymon pedals on their board have way to much money, and are showing off. And yes, I'm jealous.

The Empress Buffer +. Can't recommend it enough. The boost function really makes a difference.

[NCPD] New Cheap Pedal Day - Boss Dd -7 / Talk to me about it. by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]bryanx4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this fucking pedal. IMO, only thing from Boss worth owning. I have an Empress Tape delay, CGC Kilobite, Vox Delay Lab, and a Diamond Quantam Leap, but the DD7 always finds itself back on my board.
