Tech: Pedals (2nd update)


Here's an update to the previous post. This is the setup I used to record Rosetta's new full-length, A Determinism of Morality, with a few tweaks. I'm touring with it now. It gets rid of the rack unit without any loss in functionality --- the RV-3 fills in, and now I use the DC-3 to add modulation on that wash effect, all of it fade-able via the volume pedal. I can patch other effects onto that loop with the patch bay.

EDIT 12/2010: I've moved the Digital Dimension off the board and now use it for Temet Nosce.

I'm using the Memory Toy (love this pedal) where my DD-6 used to be, to thicken up the standard delay on Loop B. The LPB-1 replaced my Boss Compressor, to boost clean tapping parts and to add some dirt when hard strumming on the clean channel. I don't use it when the amp is on either of the gain channels.

The Sonic Research ST-200 is by far the best guitar tuner I've ever used, stompbox or otherwise. Highly recommended.

Below you can see the family shot. The board to the upper right is the Valve Junior board, with stereo delay + tube booster + reverb + volume pedal. Earlier effects are mono. The upper left board is for the Model T, with a TS-808 knockoff by NuX (very good!) and the 10-band EQ, both for different levels of boost. That amp is pretty unruly without varying boosts to tighten things up.
