    Re: Gain at your feet

    I'd love something like that too--especially if it had an equivalent "minimum volume" feature for gain/fuzz.
    I wish there could be something like that for for delay-time too!

      Great idea for delay as well! I don't use it but I think this would be a great feature!

      I could be wrong, but I thought the Boss GT allowed you to assign the expression pedal for stuff like this...

        Pretty sure the Moog Delay lets you... ummm... watching the video... holy h#%$, that looks like fun...

          perhaps parallel split the signal between clean and gain and use a blend footswitch

            Hmmm... that's a very interesting idea... may have possibilities!

              I had thought about trying this too although it's a lot of switches and cables. Another approach would be to run stereo amps, one clean the other dirty, with a vol. pedal after the stereo split on the dirt amp.

                Yup it can be done on the gt10 & above, not sure about older models. The parallel split thing is also possible with blend controlled by the exp pedal. It should be possible on a hd500 & digitech gnx4 as well but i'm not sure about the latter.

                  I am a huge fan of the MOOG stuff. I have a bunch of minis and the Clusterflux which is the best flange/chorus I have ever used.

                    *nods* I've got the Tremolo, wouldn't mind getting the Delay.

                      Have you used the Trem with the expression pedal yet? Talk about hours of fun.

                        I haven't, with the move and all, but I have the expression pedal.

                          I believe it works with the GNX4
                          I can do it with my GNX 3K

                            Ok so I got the AKAI SHRED-O-MATIC thing in the mail yesterday, and took it to the practice space to mess around with it.

                            Just to give you an idea, when I bid on this thing on Reverb, it was listed at $50 with $10 shipping. I bid $40 and the dude immediately accepted. When I got the package, the shipping cost was $17 on his end; so he paid $7 extra just to get rid of the thing.

                            After troubleshooting the crap-o power supply (not original, barely working) that he provided and giving it decent power, I concluded that the tone options varied from "can of bees" to "can of really, really angry bees". And that was on the tube overdrive setting. With the "high" tone control turned ALL THE WAY DOWN. I was afraid to even really try the diode setting.

                            The sensitivity of the treadle was such that you went essentially from "slightly too much gain" to "way, way too much gain" -- even when the gain knob was turned all the way down. As a volume pedal, it seemed to work OK but with a weird taper.

                            I can see why they stopped making them; more than likely out of pure humanitarian considerations. Good concept, really poor implementation. That having been said, someone who is really into super-high gain might like it. I guess when you call your pedal the "Shred-O-Matic", you are announcing your intentions pretty clearly....

                              There are probably a few diodes in the circuit that could be gotten rid of to make it more palatable...

                                Yeah, I think that the basic idea of the pedal is pretty solid, but its tone and gain stack is so over the top with treble and saturation. Probably if modified by someone who knew what they were doing, it could be pretty cool.
