Can you build a functional pedal board for under $100?

[Aceman]

Easily:

MIAB for $38. https://reverb.com/item/74093697-moo...ion-pedal-used

Chorus:$34 https://reverb.com/item/240729-new-j...g-chorus-pedal

Analog Delay $30 https://reverb.com/item/74407104-beh...dal-2010s-gray


I went $12 here...but if I went to Reverb and hit used pedals, sort low>high price....could easily get 4 under $100. Just depends on what is needed for the gig.

 

[Mincer]

I think the real challenge would be under $50.

Awesome that is what I was talking about. We are getting there.

Honestly though, if you consider I got my Bad Monkey for $35, DS-1 for $25 (plus like $1 for mods), and $30 for a Joyo Classic Flanger; that's a speaker sim, splitter, OD, distortion and any type of modulation I want for $101 plus shipping.

So my answer is no, I can't do it, but I can get close :19:

 

[Securb]

I would go with

IRINÂ UZI Disatortion - $30
Mosky Ammoon Delay - $30
Kuassa Efektor Flanger - $25
Rowin LEF Boost - $15

Are Bad Monkeys that cheap these days? I think the prices on the used ones went up recently. I could easily use my Bad Monkey for my only source of gain, though, but most modern players wouldn't dig it.

 

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

My gig board is around that.
Donner DT-1 tuner $20
EHX East River Drive $55
Donner noise killer $25

sometimes I use a delay but most of the whole set is just the 2 pedals on.

Not since this video came out from Josh at JHS. Did you not see this Dave? It's destined to be a classic.

Yeah, it is amazing how one video can change the market. Did anyone actually buy one of those overpriced BMs? I am holding on to mine. Not because of the value, but because it sounds damn good.

 

[Chistopher]

That video actually made me like my Bad Monkey less. I still use it the same way and like the sound, but it's average user has shifted. It used to be a good cheap workhorse, now it's a slightly overpriced (>$90) pedal that's most likely been picked up by people that spend more time posting about gear for the approval of others more so than making music

 

[Mincer]

I use the BM with the mixer out jack to the amp. It is a slightly darker sound that I like more.

 

[ErikH]

Considering that my amp has reverb, delay and modulation built in to it, yes, I could do this easily. One Boss Super Overdrive, or my BYOC Yellow Overdrive out front with the amp footswitch and done. I have a Mosky Silver Horse on the way (well under $100) that would work too.

 

[Aceman]

I have never used the direct out on a Monkey, but isn't that freaking cool?

Bad monkey plus a delay and straight to the board. How cool was that? Not that I ever did it. Still super cool.

 

[ErikH]

Does the BM direct out have a decent speaker sim on it? I don't have one so don't know.

I just use the direct out of the BM to go into a regular amp.

My other guitarist just pulled his off the shelf and has been playing it pretty often lately. Sounds pretty good.

 

[Chistopher]

Yeah, it's pretty good. It's just a really aggressive high cut. Not aggressive in the same way a tone control is, but above the cutoff the signal is pretty much completely gone. If you A/B both outputs into an amp, depending on your settings you may not even notice, but it makes a huge difference to the board

Some of those plastic Behringer pedals are great sounding .
One can get some for as low as $ 10.00, but in the last 3 months, prices for the better sounding ones are going up in price .

I never used it direct, but it sounds fantastic into an amp. It just cuts the right frequencies to me, I guess.

 

[Chistopher]

I could see plugging the board out in to the amp in certain situations, but when I play live I'm fully on the amp sim / cab emulator train
