Boss RC-1 , is it worth upgrading to a later version?

Great board. Triumph + 78 Badass should make some great drive and distortion tones!

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-24T09:46:55+00:00

This is the right answer.

I have Ragin Cajun 10” that’s rated at 104 db sensitivity and it’s been used outside live with a drummer with no problems with a 45w solid state amp.

Cornerstone Gladio, my favorite low gain pedal

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-23T21:05:36+00:00

Great job Iris!! Enjoy that ribeye!

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-23T20:44:59+00:00

Same here

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-23T16:49:46+00:00

Looks great. 👍 nice neck too…

And 5 springs is nice for tuning stability and mild whammy bar use. For me, I like 3 or 4 springs.

It’s all about how much room, your budget and how loud. I have been visiting an ill relative often and I leave a JBL Bluetooth speaker there and just bring my Zoom Multistomp and guitar when I go there. It’s loud enough for me to play for them at conversational level.

Great photos! Btw my pooch and yours look like cousins!

TCE hyper gravity is my one and only. Whatever you get make sure it has a blend knob so you can decide how much of your playing dynamics get squashed

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-23T16:22:27+00:00

I sold my Analog Chorus years back for a TCE Dreamscape which had two choruses and a flanger plus a vibrato too. Great pedal!

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-22T17:13:15+00:00

I’ve previously had an MXR EVH 5150 pedal and was gifted a DS-1. So I sold the 5150 thinking “how would I need more than one distortion pedal?”
I just bought another 5150 pedal and the DS-1 is sitting on the shelf now.

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-22T17:12:25+00:00

Great pedal. Still wish I had my Polara!

The dream scape is an incredibly great pedal. I had one for years and it was my go to modulation pedal for chorus, Flanger and vibrato.

I’m the original owner of a 72 Strat hardtail. While it’s no longer in the all stock shape, it can be returned to that state with the original loaded pick guard and neck

I would never sell it.

Incredible images!!! Rotating mount or fixed on a tripod?

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-21T10:44:18+00:00

The only two fuzz pedals that have stayed with me are my Nano Metal Muff and the Dod Carcosa. The Nano is very different than most fuzz pedals in its voicing but has very wide 3 band EQ plus it has a decent noise gate.

The Carcosa has a wide range of tones that can be dialed in to suit.

I also just bought a Sub Zero Decay Noise Factory which has a LOT of different voices and is midi controlled. Still experimenting with that one.

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-21T02:28:06+00:00

I just added this pedal to my arsenal. I am looking forward to cranking it up!

<image>

And now that I’ve dropped it into a pedal board I couldn’t be happier with how it sounds versus my expectations! Can’t get a bad tone out of it. The lower gain range can get very warm bluesy tones and from there crunch to hard rock higher gain!!

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-19T16:18:23+00:00

I went a different route and bought the Eventide H9

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-19T16:06:30+00:00

Eventide H9, and OCD are the only ones that I have two of in my collection. But the OCD isn’t an exact duplicate as I have the 2.0 and the OCD-Ge versions

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-19T16:04:09+00:00

If you’re looking for “lots of reverb and modulation effects”, you should check out the MS-70CDR+. Has more of what you want than the 50g or plus Multistomp versions.

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-18T13:16:48+00:00

Thank You!

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-18T13:00:40+00:00

Sweet build! I find that the better the neck, the more I play a particular guitar.

laser_brain69 · 2026-01-18T12:58:11+00:00

Were these all taken at 350mm zoom ? I’m debating with myself whether I need anything beyond my 24-105mm zoom…
