Damn. I can't decide between the Octave Fuzz and another delay. I just found this website with a ton of el cheapo pedals. Can't stop looking at delays.

mom always said you were her "happy little accident".

So I've decided that I'm going to get a delay pedal. It started with the peer pressuring gentle suggestions you all gave me, and continued into this awesome guitar store in NY.

I tried three pedals, the MXR Carbon Copy, the EHX Memory Boy and the EarthQuaker Devices Disaster Transport Jr. I guess I'm going with analog delays.

I tried the MXR first. Nice pedal. The modulation is nice if unspectacular. I don't like how feedback and rate are tied to the same control. MXR seems to mix controls often, which I find annoying. I thought it sounded good overall.

Then I tried the Disaster Transport. Man, what a pedal. It does not have modulation control (apparently the non-Jr version of the pedal does), but you can still get some pretty gnarly tones out of it. I think this will be the one I get.

The Memory Boy was... well, it's just not for me. I couldn't really put my finger on why, though. I didn't like the vibrato at all and the chorus wasn't great either. I know it's a popular pedal and EHX makes good stuff but this one just isn't for me.

Anyway, I want to try a few more but so far the EarthQuaker one is in the lead.

For analog delay I use a malekko 616 its roughly the same size and price range as the carbon copy. They pop up ever so often on gcused.

Ive tried to incorporate more delay in my normal playing with setting suggestions from you guys but it just doesnt really work out well, just becomes mud. I only use it for the crazy tape delay take off stuff.

I guess im just a fuzz guy

i currently use stacked fuzz/dist and my bass leaning up against my amp as my crazy effect. infinite loop. i can then switch the mini mu on and screw with the peak knob to change the mid frequency sweep up and down. fun as hell.

At the moment i need six patch cables, so twelve right angled ends.

for such a low amount of patch cables, would you recommend making my own? solder some .155 gauge guitar cable to a bunch of ends, then be done with it?

or are there more economical options? a pack of 5 george L's is $120 here, while it would be $72 for 12 switchcraft right angles. I can't find where to buy cable though.

Amazon sells a GLS patch cable kit with pancakes for $25

i might have to try this.. are they solder-free like george L's? doesn't look like it, if this is the one you're referring to

edit: durrr just saw the photo. cool, i think i'll probably order these unless someone has horror stories..

They require soldering, but it's really easy.

Hey ampegfuzz,how come you sold your Grabber? I saw it the classifieds and was pondering ways to get the cash when it was sold. That went pretty fast!

[Niff]

derp amazon can't ship the patch cable kit. I have a friend who will make me ridic. high quality ones for $10 each so that will do.
