Desert Island pedal

[Kevin Hailey]

Would have to be a loop pedal.
Because when you are marooned on a desert island you’ll spend a lot of time playing with yourself.

I’ll let myself out now.

TurboRat....since i have an Eden Metro that is powerful but warm and clean ..can i bring the Metro along to the island?

You nailed it...

I voted delay because I can be a bit more creative with this than any of the other options.

 

[ADHD librarian]

I'll go for this pretty box o'lights

 

[Grinderman]

Whatever one would most likely help me get off that desert island alive.

If I was trapped for the rest of eternity with only Robert Fripp's looping racks and a bass I think I could be pretty happy for a while.

Ok, say for some reason you can only have ONE pedal- what would it be?

Excluding tuners/noise gates/loopers/etc.

I’m sure this thread has been done before, and someone will link it, but I’ve never seen it and I’m curious.

Mine is the Doc Lloyd Photon Death Ray.

Yeah, I love me some dirt and some modulation, but nothing has affected the way I play more than compression, and that is my favorite compressor.

Is there going to be electricity on the Desert Island?

I would choose my modded EHX NYC Bass Balls because I can get such a wide range of tones.

What did you mod exactly?

One of those with a bright blue LED so you can signal passing planes!

The internal trim pots are external, mod was done by a TB member. You essentially get the same thing on a Mooer Sweeper, which I have several with the 'factory' setting marked. IMHO it makes it a much more versatile pedal. I have dreams of one that has several other enhanced features if EHX ever wants me to do a signature version.

does the bass balls have internal trimpots? Didn’t know that. What do they do? I have the Russian version.

There are internal trimpots that set the sweep points for the up and down filters, EHX has some secret formula for the BB setting. I wouldn't advise it on a vintage model and only if you have one stock because it is touchy to find the right setting.

The jewel on my OE Cali76 CD comp flashes between orange and red signal light.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

I picked Chorus because I'm hoping Julia would help me get off the friggin island and back onto the mainland....also it's a rockin pedal

 

[lomo]

I'd take my Sushi Box Dream Catcher preamp, because it can give me toooob compression and a little toooob warmth or a lotta toooob OD, depending on my mood.

 

[onda'bass]

I voted compression but chorus/verb would be 2nd

 

[BioDriver]

My Walrus Deep Six, since the light on that thing is so bright it could serve as a distress signal.
