What's coming and going XVII: The Relapse

Status
Not open for further replies.
I was off the pedal purchasing wagon for bit, no monies, trying to get all I can out of what I had already (always a good idea)...

However....RELAPSE!

Coming:
A bunch of parts for the making of clones.

Since I can't afford the originals, and I got the taste for making pedals from kits, I thought I'd build some from strip board layouts ala johnk and mod them to my taste, or not.

And yes, if I ever go pro (chuckles and laughter), I'll gladly purchase the originals (after selling a kidney or something).
 
In: Empress Comp (Wow!), Empress Buffer, IE Oxide. I haven't hooked "everything" up yet -- still waiting on the CIOKOLATE -- so I won't have a good test case for the buffer yet. I like the Oxide quite a bit with the few minutes of tooling around with it.
 
oof. besides the amazing box of Idiot Box loot ('m on a tourbox from another site), my Drone Commander just came in IT'S SO ****ING AWESOME.

I was good for a couple of years and like an ex-junkie rockstar going on his first tour in 2 years.... Boom.... Right off the wagon!

Soooo.... the Diamond Bass Comp came last week, the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe the week before that as well as a Voodoo Labs PP 2 Plus. Thought I was done. Nope.

Bought a Darkglass B3K today from another TBer.:help:

I DO think I am done now as I have no more room on my board. :p

Haha, step 2 of the relapse...a BIGGER board. I have filled a pedal train pro and still have 4 pedals on the shelf waiting to find an even bigger board.
 
In: the circuit board and the parts for a custom fuzz that I requisitions from a user on ILF. I'm not going to divulge what it is just yet, that will come when it's done and I do a demo for it. But I will say that this will probably be one of the ugliest and most awful sounding fuzzes any of us has ever heard.

Ha!! I have about 10 pedals waiting for a second board.

Also coming: DOD ice box. And possibly a DOD FX25b. Used to have one a long time ago and I thought it ilwas one of the better env filers out there. And I'm not a big env filter guy.
 
First time poster, long time lurker. I've been very happy with my instruments and amplification...but I've had major pedal GAS lately.

OUT:
MI Audio GI Fuzz (decided fuzz wasn't for me)

IN:
Phaseur Fleur (not sure how much I'll use it, but love the effect)
Catalinbread SFT (kept it on the whole time last band practice...sounded great)
EHX Polychorus xo (love it for the chorus and flanger alone; need more time with it)
Blakemore Deus Ex Machina (decided I gave up too easy on fuzz...like the blend option already more than the previous)

Sometime I need to get a board and power supply. Going to try to stop buying stuff...but pedals are so freaking fun...
 
Oh man I love my octron 2. Such a great pedal and having the ability to turn each sound on and off is great!!

yeah i totally love my Octron, but just wanted the added flexibility of the effect loop (will probably run my TAFM through there) and controlling the octaves with my foot. Pretty pumped to get it!
