I wish I knew what anything on that list was.

For delay, you might want to check out the DD-7 over the DD-6--got some pretty cool new features, and the new expression pedal input is loads of fun! Can control level, feedback, or delay time all with the expression pedal--even all at the same time

Whatcha looking for in a custom feedback looper?

What are you looking for in a tremolo?

I've built one of these.....

A Tremulus Lune ...which looks like this...

Does pretty much everything you could ask for in a trem.
It has 2 leds - one for power and one for tempo. <-- More handy than you might think. You can match the speed to a song tempo without playing a note.

The blank knob on the right was going to be a variable sawtooth mod knob (up/down) but apparently this does crazy things to the speed. I'll replace it with a standard switch like in the vid.

Hay Dash! I'm actually interested in the DD-6 for a vocal effect. I plan on just using the "Hold" mode to do "freeze" sounds live. It's cheaper than the DD-7, but it's just as ideal for my intentions. Thanks for the tip, though.

A heck of a lot. All kinds of opto-controlled photo-eye tremoscillations.

And a bypass loop.

I've spoken at length with Guttermouth and just sent a message to conical johnson (who lives about an hour away) concerning the project. I don't want to give too much away until it's done, though. Hopefully we can work it out...

See, my trem needs some very specific mods. Sound/speed-wise, the EQ Devices Hummingbird is perfect. However, I'd like it to do stereo-panning, have a tap tempo, and can switch over to a photo-eye that will control the rate for crazy, freak-out, drastic speed changes... then I switch back to the tap tempo.

Robertron · #7 02-28-2010, 06:22 PM

Ooo Trem with a photo eye.

Same here. Could qualify his list as "educated gas"

I've been hanging around here for awhile and am reminded regularly at how little I know concerning effects.

There's gonna be a new Malekko 600B with a tone knob. Wait for that. Did you check out the Ruiner pedal by Devi Ever too?

loungesurfer · #10 02-28-2010, 07:24 PM

I'm new to FX, but just picked up an Electrix Filter Queen and really dig the tone options - especially for Chill, Dub, down tempo, etc.

Spacelordmother · #11 02-28-2010, 08:01 PM

Oooh! That 8-bit bass fuzz sounds goooooood.

And dig that housing:

Sweet! I was concerned they quit mekkin it. Link for the Devi pedal?

wdinc01 · #13 03-01-2010, 12:59 AM

For feedback loops, check out OHNOHO

http://ohnoho.com/

He makes limited run feedback pedals and such. I would go into more detail, but I'm very tired.

long video. gets the job done though

SpankyPants · #15 03-01-2010, 10:35 AM

The problem with that is the compressor in front, which probably has a significant impact on the sound. Not to mention that you can't hear much of the bass at all. Just the splatter.

Chronicle · #16 03-01-2010, 10:38 AM

Wasn't a fan of the video either but it does sound like it would rock in hands that know how to use it.

bigchiefbc · #17 03-01-2010, 10:41 AM

Here's a demo Devi did of the Ruiner that has a little more bass to it:

yeah! radioshack knobs!

SpankyPants · #20 03-01-2010, 11:29 AM

I saw that video too, but I feel like I couldn't get a real feel for it there either... Hmm...
