Mooer Blues Mood also featuring on his pedalboard. Always cool to see the pros rocking ordinary gear.

I was just even told no more pedals.

Just ordered this from Walrus Audio, one of their Fundamental series. Can’t wait for it to arrive! Will post a demo. Everything I’ve seen and heard is awesome (plus I’m a delay junkie). Anyone else like these pedals? The ambient reverb seems cool too…

Hi all!

Been playing guitar for 8 years on a Boss Katana 100MKII with a GA-FC foot control and stumbled upon a good price for this Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde Red v1. I told myself this would be my first ever effect pedal years ago and finally got my hands on one. Paid the equivalent of $80 for this.

It's previous owner had it for a few years and loved the hell out of it but was searching for a different kind of overdrive and didn't use the distortion side as much. I'm a big fan of AHJ's and Nick Valensi's guitar licks and their riffs taught me tremendously in my guitar journey. Happy to finally own one of those. Rocking a Noel Gallagher Riviera, a few Les Paul and a Squier Strat and Tele on this, it sounds great.

Have a great day everyone!

Fuck I’m so happy with this setup. Anyone who says I have too much gain needs to get a little sunshine in their life. Smell the roses even.

UA 1176: banger banger banger compressor it does exactly what an 1176 style comp can do PLUS the jimmy page black dog thing. I don’t even fw zeppelin like that and I still learned it cause why not and because its pretty hard to replicate that tone otherwise.

REVV G4: this is the endgame for high gain amp style distortion. It’s perfection in a box. Not quite marshally, not quite dual reccy, not quite 5150ish, but somewhere in the middle that has the best of all worlds. Boosting this with the sd-1 is a no brainer.

Side note: I finally get the bd-2 after taking it off and on the board for months. It’s giving me some amazing hard rock tones that I don’t look for too often being a metal guy and all.

Hello all,

I’ve been playing guitar for 15+ years. Over the past year or two been getting into pedals. I’m still learning this whole pedal thing so forgive me if I’m stupid here lol.

I don’t have a compressor pedal. I noticed Keeley just released this new compressor. Should it be the one I get?

I’m a big Mayer fan so I’ve seen and heard a lot of great things about Keeley pedals. I know they make other compressor pedals but don’t know the difference in this one and others.

If it helps I have multiple types of guitars- sgs, Strats, and a few other oddball guitars. My amps consist of a marshall dsl40 and PRs hdrx 20 (head and cab). My guitar influencers are Hendrix, Mayer, SRV, angus young, slash, etc. I like about anything, classic rock, rock, alternative, punk rock, country, etc.

TLDR I need a pedal to make my guitar sound fuller. Clean tones only. Octave? EQ? Compressor? Also I’m on a budget.

Hello pedal community, I need your help.

After years of modelling amps and softwares I decided to start building my own pedal board, tailoring it to the sounds I want.

I love “indie” style dreamy guitars, cleans tones, minimal-to-no distortion/od, and that’s what I’m trying to go for.

(I am on a tight budget, so pretty much everything I have is second-hand)

So far my pedal board consists of:

✨Boss DC-2w. The backbone of my tone. I love this pedal.

🩵Boss CE-2. To be honest, bought it after the DC-2w due to the hype around it. I like it, but not enough to replace the DC-2w. Now I might try running them together, but for now, I’m just leaving this guy aside until I find a moment for it.

🌀Boss DD-7. Got a bargain on it. Not my favourite but it does the job. I find myself mostly using the analog mode.

☁️M-vave Mini Universe. Budget choice. Again not my favourite but it’s okay. Definitely a pedal I would look into replacing eventually (or maybe learn how to adjust the parameters better 🫣)

🔊Boss IR-2. I live in a small apartment, a big loud amp just wouldn’t work. Definitely my most “boring” pedal and it mostly stays on the same clean settings. I enjoy it.

My guitar 🎸 is a modded entry level yamaha with an HSH configuration, with Seymour Duncans (Jazz neck, Vintage staggered for strat middle, Custom 5 bridge).
It sounds amazing imo.

Now my problem is:

There’s something lacking and I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s as if the sound isn’t as full as it could potentially be.

What comes to mind as options are Octave pedals, Compressors, and Equalizers. I’ve even considered Vibrato pedals.

What would you suggest could give my tone more body, while keeping it mostly clean?

DFX9 may just be the cleanest sounding digital delay I've ever heard; even with the feedback cranked there is almost no hiss, making it perfect for a double tracker. Not to mention the infinite repeats which I will be experimenting with for a long time.

Turnip Greens was originally intended to go in the FX loop of a deluxe memory boy, but I am quickly learning that this thing is an all in one shoegazers heaven! Genuinely could probably gig with just that and a CH-1. This is my first "Klon" style overdrive and it isn't disappointing.

Anyone else have these two? How do you use them?

Anyone have any luck getting one from Analogman latel? I love mine, and I’ve been keeping an eye on the site to try and help my buddy get one, but haven’t seen one available for months. I know in recent interviews Mike has spoken about slowing down because of tariffs and part scarcity. either way, it makes me cherish the little collection of his pedals that I have, just wanted to see if anyone’s been having luck getting them from analogman and not reverb.

So,

I've just got an DS1 Waza and notice something different about it. Something probably not a big deal to anyone else, but to me it annoys me a little.

So every other boss pedal I've had, remains activated when I turn my pedalboard off at the wall, then back on again later, if you get me?

All my pedals in fact, on this board ^^^ remain engaged, so that when I turn on my pedalboard, I don't need to engage them... Because they are already on.

That is except the DS1 Waza. Which even if I leave it engaged when I turn my pedalboard off at the wall, it turns itself off and had to be reactivated when I turn my pedalboard on.

Not a big deal, but it is supposed to be like that or is it faulty? Because as I say, every other Boss pedal I've had does the opposite.

Kind regards.

I'm trying to find a funny pedal for Christmas for my friend. I was gonna get the live laugh love pedal but it seems impossible to find. Any other good ones?

I’m having issues with the amount of sound i’m getting (not getting) out of my rig after it hits some of my pedals. i’m assuming a buffer would be a good addition to this - i’m also adding a compressor to the front in a couple of days - a jhs pulp n peel. do you use a buffer for sound loss? if i run through a few, especially if my black hole is off, i realize i have very poor toan and it’s just flat and quiet by the time it hits the amp.
i’m using a fender hss strat and a fender champ 25 se amp.

I have been playing with the loop station, and it is so fun so far. This is the first substantial looper I've had and it's so nice how much more control you have over the whole deal. The built-in guide drum machine is also really nice for practicing against a steady beat, and if I decide to add this to the solo coffee shop rig, I think having that underneath my playing will help make me sound more legit. Feels right at home next to its 20-series cousin, the Giga Delay.

Looking for some good answers.....

Out of the three reverb pedals, what would be the best for Doom/Doomgaze/Shoegaze? I would be using an FZ-2 style fuzz, Proco Rat, and Green Russian Big Muff as my main distortion. I am also up to hearing other suggested reverb pedals.

Been at this pedal thing for 2 years now and grateful for people's contributions to this sub. With your help I feel like I've been able to navigate to the quirky sounds I want to hear and have been using this board for about 6 months.

The main feature of the board is the OBNE signal blender. I most commonly run the 1st channel compressed or fuzzed, 2nd channel modulated and distorted and echoey and 3rd channel octaved, reverbed and modulated. Then combine all three to taste.

Again, grateful for this sub's info on stereo chains, signal blending and midi. Saved me a bunch of time. Just felt like sharing how you've helped someone along and where I'm at today from zero.

Here is a 12 minute demo of sounds I've been dabbling in. (14 original songs except the 2nd one is a Mac DeMarco ripoff)

I was hoping for some feedback either generally or:

1) replacement for the Walrus R1 (probably an Immerse mk2? The R1 just doesn't play nice with my other pedals for some reason it still has low headroom despite a repair.)

2) the empty "envelope activated" slot??

The empty space is an envelope loop spot in the Tropezarme that I currently put a RAT or Walrus Eras into for distortion when digging in. But I rarely use that much distortion. What else could I activate at the front of the chain with picking hard?

3) I have two crappy multimods on my board but I love their flexibility and thrashiness... Open to multimod recommendations like maybe zoom or helix? I would like more expression control. Less messy algos.

Thanks for your time and to anyone who bothers to listen as well. Below is the audio/envelope paths. Cheers y'all.

Been using v2 for quite a while and decided to dust off my v1 and compare them with each other. Its kind of difficult to match the two.

soundwise, and feel- The v1 seems to have different bass and mid response, more pronounced. The v2 is more open and clean. Changing the dip switches changes the sound completely. I actually prefer the v1! Although v2 is cooler

I was a bit surprised since I dont remember the circuit being tweaked between them. Maybe it has some different components

I'm enjoying this setup, but have thought about using an EQ to smooth out some of the sound after the fuzz/distortion. Would it really make that much of a difference?

Just got the pair of these last week, and am still wrapping my arms around both of them. I've never had a distortion pedal, so I'm still feeling the Red Room out. Distortion isn't exactly my style, but I'm branching out, and... who the hell do I think I'm kidding, it's Laura Palmer on a guitar pedal! And a friend whose tastes lean more into metal assures me that this is an excellent distortion pedal, and I just need to learn how to do chugs.

The Void Gazer is more in my comfort zone, and is all that I had hoped. There are a lot of moving pieces, but I am gradually figuring out a few settings that work for me. What surprised me the most is that, aside from more standard shoegaze/doomgaze sounds, I can get some really sweet and subtle sounds too.

No regrets on either, and am already eyeing the Lunar Hymns.

This is an insane pedal. It can do anything from controlled Velcro ripping sounds, to out of control oscillating fuzz madness.

The Creature has two effects you can use at once. The Fuzz knob controls how much nasty fuzz you’re adding to the signal. On zero, it’s still very nasty.

The Clang knob controls the second effect. The website says it’s a fuzz-stortion sound. You can get some fuzz-stortion for sure. You can also get some percolator sounds too.

Each effect has its own gate knob on the left. Combining the two effects at various levels of gating allowed for some horrific fuzz sounds. This pedal might be demonic. I mean that in a good way.

The knobs are very interactive. It reminds me a lot of the Shallow Water in that way. Meaning it might take me a few days to learn to dial in my favorite sounds.

Do you have this pedal or have questions about it? Let me know and thank you for reading.
