Thanks, homie! Oh and the OR? Yeah... that's a keeper. I think we talked about this before, but I'm angling to get another and mod it with another pair of output tubes. Because rock.

I dug the Carbon Copy but it never seemed to jive with something in my rig. I actually preferred its tone to the normal 616, but the Ekko Dark nails the sweet spot between them for me.

Excuse the Instagram filter.

I dig pitch shifters:

also, I'm in the market for a new reverb pedal. Preferably something small with a good spring reverb and a medium-long decay.

Any suggestions?

I have the carbon copy in A loop now
Got one of those Morley fx blenders
I keep the mix at full
Small stone and a chorus in there too
It rules
Like havin an exp ped on all the mix knobs
That carbon copy sounds so good
Actually thought about getting a second
And scrapping the delaylab
Starting to think I can deal with one kind of delay
Only prob with carbon copy
No tap tempo

Partially disassembled as usual. Please excuse the crappy cell phone pic. Clockwise from upper left: MXR Screamer clone, LSB Boost (LPB circuit with switchable input and output caps). Saturnworks volume pedal, ZVex Fuzzolo, Devi Ever Bit, EHX Deluxe Big Muff:


I kinda cheezed out on the non-dirt FX. I got sick of spending money on time & mod pedals that I rarely used, and got tired of deciding between them. Got an ME70 and use it for non-dirt. Glad I did; lots of weird sounds in there, and when you decide you need a tremolo or something you don't need to spend $200 to play one song. The secret to not sounding canned: Never, ever, ever use the reverb.

I really like my me 70 for noise. Pairs well with an analog synth of choice and a kaoss pad.

Not a whole lot of nice boutique stuff or doomy graphics here, but as far as apocalyptic fuzzyness goes, the dirt departement on this board has served me welll:



About to be dismanteled. New band, different sounds, smaller board. Still want something evol sounding to replace to mastotron and fuzz god II. BAT, Blackout effectors, EQD,...So many options, so little monies.

Anyone selling a SS/BS TAFM or a Megalith: PM me.

Edit: Added a Blue Box

It won't win you any ILF credibility points, but seriously: Hardwire RV7. I'm assuming the newer Polara should be similar in a lot of ways, but it also costs considerably more, for not a whole lot of extras. Also, in case you don't know: Boss RV series is the shit. Or If you want to go booteek: RRR.

For Spring Reverb I'd also add the new Subdecay, the Spring Chicken and the Ghost Echo.

Thanks man. It's actually still together after over a month.

Key to keeping the board mostly unchanged... I ended up putting the fuzz pedal at the top right corner by chance. This has been great because when I swap in a Pharaoh or try some octave fuzz or something it's easy because it's not wedged in around a lot of other pedals and I don't have to move anything.

Also I ended up with all true bypass and no Boss or other buffered pedals on this board which I would normally have at least one. So I'm running one cable to my amps and then splitting the signal with a buffered Boss pedal. Probably would be better to get a buffer on the board somewhere but hopefully it does something.

Sexy Ditto... Sexy Ditto...

I bought that ditto for $20 broken along with an Ibanez Compressor. Needed a new switch and since I don't like 'mini' sized pedals I housed in a larger(125B) 'test' enclosure with a new soft momentary switch. I'll eventually get a new powder coated enclosure for it but I can be cheap with my own gear so I don't care how it looks and may leave it as is for quite a while until I start playing out sometime this spring.

Thanks! I have the Polara but the verbs are either too extreme or too subtle. I'll check the Ghost Echo.
