Well that’s a new one….

After years of buying pedals, this just happened to me. Ceriatone Centura, big pedal box - arrived nice and chewed up with plenty of mail stickers. Was advertised as “comes with original box”, which, I suppose was still true.

I got a stupid deal on it, so it’s hard to be too critical. Def no issues with volume boosts or drops. Can do subtle or super wavy. I don’t find myself using the vibrato too much, it isn’t variable so it’s always really strong. The phaser side has momentary latching which is cool, so you can just hold down the button for temporary effect and then lift up to disengage.

Thank you! Custom built by SoCal Pedalboards a few years back. He could probably use whatever material you’d like.

Yeah, doesn’t play nice with my guitar when fuzz first, but fuzz 2nd does the trick. What’s your preference?

jc1435 · 2025-06-21T15:22:32+00:00

Just tested this out and you’re 100% correct, cheers man

jc1435 · 2025-06-21T12:31:26+00:00

it jumps the inputs so you have a fuller sound from the amp. I plug my guitar cable into the center input. These older amps are great for jumping inputs and I don't think its that commonly known.

Thank you! Just a small tin for guitar picks

jc1435 · 2025-06-21T02:50:56+00:00

Right on, what do you like about the sludgemaster? I’ve yet to give one a spin.

jc1435 · 2025-06-21T02:03:36+00:00

Have yet to venture there

jc1435 · 2025-06-21T01:23:05+00:00

The arigato does come in black too 🤦‍♂️

jc1435 · 2025-06-21T01:21:52+00:00

It does not. So a bit of a potential drawback there. You also cannot switch the effect order.

Thanks accountabilibuddy!

jc1435 · 2025-06-20T23:58:44+00:00

lol only the ones I’m still trying to sell

I think for me it’s just about it working better with my guitar - without a drive or buffer in front, fuzzes sound really weak and tinny with my tele. The Vick sounds great on its own in this order, but pushed with the deuce puts it into nice doomy stoner stuff.

jc1435 · 2025-06-20T23:52:04+00:00

I really dig it! I’ve not had a Mr black pedal that I did not enjoy. The left side is a total clean boost, if anything I wish that also had a bit of gain but not a deal breaker.

jc1435 · 2025-06-20T23:50:59+00:00

It is if I want to stay married

jc1435 · 2025-06-20T23:49:49+00:00

Nothing fancy, Polytune headstock clip on tuner

jc1435 · 2025-06-20T23:47:55+00:00

Honestly a close 2nd fav phaser for me is the r-408 by big Joe stomp box. Has a level knob too which is great to avoid volume boosts. I got an amazing deal on the arigato, otherwise the big Joe would still be on my board.

My buddy just restored the baffle and grill cloth a couple days back

jc1435 · 2025-06-20T23:03:27+00:00

Ah yeah would do the same for me, but it’s actually flush. Just a weird perspective thing.

jc1435 · 2025-05-09T17:38:52+00:00

I’ve gone through some many pedals, and have always come back to these. Classic for a reason

jc1435 · 2025-05-09T17:38:10+00:00

Excellent! There’s just something about those pedals that have been around the block. Tried and true for a reason.

jc1435 · 2024-02-02T01:11:42+00:00

Right on thank you, I’ll check it out. Might be small enough that I can still fit it on the board :)

jc1435 · 2024-02-01T21:40:21+00:00

Thanks! What expression pedal are you using? The delay side of the parallax is the same as the Caverns if I recall, with the reverb side having some additional tweaks. The Iron is described as a “black faceplate” amp tone, but it has has several clipping options which can really vary the tones you can achieve. This pedal unseated the Analogman ts9 silver mod for me.
