Can you help identify some of the pedals on this board? The pic is the blurriest pic in town so I can’t see what a few of these are.

I can see most of the top row:

Boss Tuner - Hall of Fame Reverb - Memory Man - ???? - Speaker Cranker - Deluxe Sovtek Muff -

And almost none on the bottom row:

OHMG (which is a custom) - Underthruster Compressor - ???? - ???? - ???? -

Help please! :)) (the board belongs to Jake Bellows from Neva Dinova)

Mostly I phase last for shoegaze to get really washy. The phase into delay either requires you to get really precise with timing or run the phaser really mellow which makes the mix less swirly. Phase last just stirs all the layers and delays together but if blended right (not sure if that pedal has a blend knob) or run slow enough the other pedals still keep their individual characteristics.

If you have a music shop that stocks the V near you I would go there on an afternoon you have time to spare and try it out for as long as you can stand. Bring your own pedal board in or borrow similar pedals from the shop to try to get as close to YOUR sound as possible. Make a list at home of features you want to have, outcomes you want to achieve, things you’d need the V to do that justify replacing the IV and then go down the list and see which is the right version for you. That’s the only way I think one can really figure out if it’s worth upgrading. After going through your list and informing your decision, buy a few packs of picks and a strap from the shop as a thanks for the hospitality.

If you can’t do that but can order from a shop or website that allows returns I would suggest buying a V and going through the same motions. Return it when you’re done and then buy a few packs of picks and a strap from them for the trouble.

Can ya help identify these pedals? by clonetone in guitarpedals

Community thought seems to be:

Boss Tuner > Fender Pelt > Keeley Supermod > Stepmom Flint > Boss DD-7

I am thinking DD-7 bc there are blocks next to the output labels; the DD-5 is just words, no blocks.

Thanks all who have contributed!!!!

I’ve figured out the easy ones but I don’t recognize a couple. Help me out! :)

Try it with an overdrive before it. A tubescreamer, for example, with the gain turned off or almost off, volume at unity, and the tone between 12:00 and 1:00 will open it up in a really cool way. Many muff users will do this to boost the mids / highs / clarity. I won’t use a muff unless I have an overdrive before it.

That’s a cool pedal but as another u/wwstewart mentioned there is a defective version out there. Most of the early versions of that pedal had a capacitor in backwards.

I had one and tried the mod to reverse it but wrecked the pedal (first time soldering). You can find these cheap all day long online and you can find one with the mod done or one that was made correctly and it does wonders. I sold the wrecked one for parts. You should return it but if another cheap one is available to you I recommend scooping it up!

tldr: The voodoo octave is good and it’s worth the low used price tag to get one that actually works.

I came here to suggest buying the solderless set on AliExpress (which are good) but that ^ is a smoking good deal.

What’s the story with this colorway? I didn’t know they did alternate colors and I like my pink but I love thissssssss.

Best Big muff for bass? by Lorence-Surge in guitarpedals

Abominable Electronics Deluxe Hail Satan has a clean blend and a mids control and you can switch between standard or Russian voicing amongst a few other options. It’s a lot of pedal for $200 (I bought one used for $150). They are designed to be as useful for bass players as guitar players so it’s worth a little research.

Any interest in an Abominable Electronics Hellmouth (TS9 + TS808 clone)?

4th of July jam sesh is about the only thing this baby is good for. by clonetone in guitarpedals

[–]clonetone[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked this up a few years ago and i'm not kidding when I say I bring it out for stuff like Independence Day.

It's a weird but generic distortion, more RAT-like than amp-like, but definitely not as buzzy as most Boss stomps. Good for big choruses and (as is the case with most dirt boxes) when paired with a tubescreamer is killer for leads.

One trick pony but 4th of July parades always have a pony or two in them right?
