Re: Why Am I Building So Many Pedals?
Ahhhhh yes....Sorry,I almost forgot...The "Guv'nor" pedal is great,cuts great,does a very convincing grinding Marshall tone and sits great in the overall context of the band....
The RAT...Great throaty tone,sustain for days and easy to get,ballsy tone....A bit dark overall and I need to lower 1 tone stack cap to remedy that....
The BLUE Magic pedal....Great tone....My favorite of the pedals I'm mentioning....Had a problem with this pedal(Stupid me)....I had put the volume knob onto the Drive pot and the drive knob onto the volume pot....All night I kept wondering why I couldn't get proper unity gain with my other pedals? As I maxed what I thought was the Drive pot,I was actually maxing the pedal volume....LOL.....I found out yesterday upon going back inside the pedal,as I thought I had a bad volume pot....
The Phase 90.....Sounds really great....Clear and warm and an ever so slight overall boost when engaged,but still a classic phase shifter overall....Not too overbearing also..
The MQB....May Queen Boost(Brian May)in a box...Great pedal if you want to cop Brian May's Queen tone,but I found it to be a bit boxey sounding and lacking some lowend balls....Add some flanging or chorus and it does nail the tone you hear in the "Keep Yourself Alive" tune from Queen....This pedal needs a bit of lowend tweaking,but it's not a pedal I'd get alot of mileage from in my band,unless we did some Queen stuff....
All of the pedals turned out great,they are quiet,have good tone,and I had the enjoyment of building them myself....
My favs right now are the Rat and the "Guv'nor".....The RAT needs 1 cap lowered and it'll also cut perfect....I played through my Fender Cyber Twin last night on a really nice 65 Twin Reverb preset I created....The pedals sounded great straight into this preset all night with my Tele..
