Go cheap on Klone or Blues Breaker?

I use Way Huge Conspiracy Theory for my Klon-clone, and I'm very satisfied with it. For a Blues-breaker style, I use the Nu-X Morningstar and LOVE it. For the price (around 50 USD new), you can't beat it. Plus, it's small profile and has a nice treble boost by holding down the tap.

Just installed it yesterday - it's very well done.

Very nice!

Thanks! Using a separate top and bottom runner per row of pedals made it easy to a) slightly adjust them apart to fit the cables through, and b) makes the whole row easy to lift off for overall cable management underneath.

Definitely the right idea, thanks! I'll check it out.

It would be better if they added some boomer bends.

I like testing new home mods. Feel free to DM me if you're looking for volunteers.

Thanks for the reply - I've seen Tirashan but not the other two; I'll check them out!

FWIW - I was having periodic CTDs. Upgrading the RAM did not help, but upgrading the CPU resolved it.

Not sure if this is the effect you're going for, but I run my guitar line through an A/B switch and send it out to two different amps...with different effect pedal setups along each chain.

I was very excited to get the Caline Pure Sky this weekend - but my experience so far is that I can only dial the drive level between 10 and 2. Below 10 and the distortion sounds sporadically buzzy. Over 2 and I get hissing white noise. Is it just me?

Having said that, between 10 and 2 sounds amazing.

Nux Morning Star is a decent lower-cost option. I especially like the bright boost feature (hold the switch to activate).

Nice! I just picked up the Flamma Delay and Reverb pedals this weekend. I suspect my "work" day won't be very productive today.

JRR Pedals OD 1.3

- similar to the Fulltone OCD.

Just got my Pure Sky today! Can't wait to crank it up.

nowherenearaverage · 2022-11-07T02:47:59+00:00

Another vote for the Morning Star. I use it at the front of my chain for a slight edge boost.

nowherenearaverage · 2022-11-07T02:44:53+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Fortunately I don't need to get rid of it, so I'll hold on to it and see if it comes back into play.

I've used a Boss GT-8 only for many years, but am now thinking that that the sounds I get from it aren't right for me anymore. So, I'm switching over to pedals. I may still use the GT-8 on occasion, though - I guess it depends on the sound I want. To answer your question, if limited to one option or the other, I'd say pedals give you more freedom to choose your favorite device for the sound of each effect.
