OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

[Aceman]

My name is Aceman, and I have a pedal fetish. You know what I mean. A specific type of pedal that you really need one of, but you have five. Or pedals all the same color. Or maybe it is brand specific. Or a special chip, or year, or shape & size, or artist...

Well, here is mine: Let's be honest - no one needs this many Tremolo pedals.

Great thread idea!

I have far too many phasers but Fuzz is the one that I just keep acquiring... some duplicates, but still. Not pictured is a Wampler Velvet, Analogman Sunface NKT-275 and Foxrox Captain Coconut 2.

The crazy thing is they all sound different and do different things!

Whole Lotta fuzz in those pics!

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

Devi Evers (I know.) Bit, US, Rocket (which is a Soda Meiser and Vintage Fuzz Master chained together,) and a NoFi ZG at the moment. I continue to want a Shoe Gazer and a Hyperion (and a Hypno-Mangler...)

Maybe not as "bad" as some people in terms of the quantity I've collected and the fact that the pedals (mostly) sound different but... I don't use them too much at all. I just like to plug them on for five minutes every month or so, then go back to my Fulldrive.

Haha, I have too many Marshall-in-a-box pedals. But they're all different! I swear!

I could see myself getting too many EHX pedals, as I quite like the brushed steel enclosures. They just feel good to the touch.

You wanna unload that blue Fuzz Face?!

Nope, I want to send it to BMF!

I think Fuzz may be the most common of all pedal fetishes.

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

My pedal fetish is having as few as possible on my board.

I currently use just four.
Front: Joyo Tuner and a Jet City Afterburner (OD + boost)
Loop: Boss GE7 and a EHX Memory Toy.

More than 6 and I feel a bit stressed.

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

ODs/distortions, Sparkle Drive Mod, OCD, Wampler Plextortion, Paisley Drive, MXR Dist.+, T-Rex Michael Angelo Batio, Duncan Power Grid Distortion, and I know I'm forgetting a couple

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

I like delay pedals...especially really long delays that allow some sort of foot expression control. It is a pretty small category, but they are generally expensive, so I can't have them all, anyway. These days I am using a Fractal for pedals, so they are all virtual.

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

I think it's because one fuzz can sound fantastic, or terrible, depending on how you use it. It's easy to get de-railed on a search for the "perfect" one with the least compromise, or to buy one to use for five seconds in a song.

I don't really focus on modulation/time-based effects at all.

Which tremolo do you like best? I've always been intrigued by the MXR one, but I don't believe they make it anymore.

Diaz Tremodillo, hands down my fave. #2 probably the Dunlop.

 

[Matt42]

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

Tremolo is probably my favorite effect, but I only have one . I've been thinking about picking up a Latitude at some point, but I'm happy with my current tremolo, so it's hard to justify when I have other stuff I want.

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

Overdrives. By seeking out the most definitive circuits, it's taught me a lot about how to make any particular amp have extended gain that sounds the way I want.

Klon Centaur
Ibanez TS808HW
Barber LTD.
Way Huge Green Rhino, Overrated Special,
and Red Llama.
All the fullsize Bogners
Marshall Bluesbreaker/Gov'nor II
Fulltone FD II
MXR Classic OD/Zakk
T Rex Mudhoney
Boss OD-1

Re: OK, let's talk openly about your pedal fetish.

I don't have a fetish, but I have one too many delays and plexi pedals, only cause I was tone chasing and never sold any. They all do something good but none of them are THE ONE.

Boss DS1 Spina modded
Tubescreamer
Marshall Jackhammer
DOD Grunge
ToadWorks Mr Ed
ToadWorks John Bull
Ibanez Jemini Pedal

It's also the effect most players should stay the hell away from...
