What's coming and going XVII: The Relapse

[doubleohnodj]

Coming:
Squier VM Bass VI (hurry up already)
Squier VM Telecaster Special

Here:
Tronographic Rusty Box

Going:
Aguilar Tone Hammer
IE Frantabit

Got the Rusty Box in yesterday...it's so great. I switched from a BDDI to the tone hammer because I didn't like how it was muting my effects that were forced to come before it. It made my fuzzes and synth sounds sound muffled and weak. I loved the tone hammer when I got it because it eliminated that problem, but I found myself missing the stronger tone shaping of the BDDI (I play without an amp). I had to try the last contender, knowing I could flip it or sell the tone hammer and basically break even. The Rusty Box fixes both aforementioned problems for me - more aggressive tone shaping and it actually makes effects in front of it sound better.

The SFT.

 

[FretNoMore]

Yes that's what I'm leaning towards myself. I have to listen and compare of course.

What is the "Wampler Euphoria"? I'm not familar with that guy

Def the SFT.

The wampler euphoria is an OD pedal if I'm not mistaken. Not sure what type but I think it's a warm type of tubey OD. Maybe? Rather nice pedal pedal from what I hear.

A great transparent overdrive. Really good if you want just your sound with dirt, doesn't impose much character of its own like the VMT and SFT does.

COMING:

MXR Phase 100: really dig the tones in it and think that it's a good overall functional phaser. 10-stage phasing is my favorite! Plus I scored one for 40 bucks.

Mission Expressionator: I've wanted one for YEARS so I used the extra funds from my phaser fun so get one of these beasts. I paid less than 170.00 at PGS. Also ordered some colored TRS cables to hook up whatever 3 pedals I settle on.

 

[seescottrock]

Coming: Fuzzrocious Kid Paint Rat Tail w/ 2nd Distortion Level Mod. Seems so far away! 2 months or less is my quote. It will be worth it though.

I'm glad other people are finding the repeater... It's 120 bucks new on sweetwater right now... stupid good deal.

I'm one of them people. But I still don't have one. Why, cause I'm a tard. I always forget about it when I have money. And I'm a delay freak. One of these days......

Forgot to mention, I bought my ditto the day after I heard about here on TB so don't beat yourself up too much.

 

[nshuman]

Coming: SFX Micro Red Dragon, Wounded Paw Blender v4 H2

Will be going when I get the new wounded paw: Wounded Paw Blender v4 f

The noise floor is supposedly greatly improved on the new version so I will try it out. Still debating whether or not I will remove the lpb-1 from the board.

 

[echoSE7EN]

Coming: Strymon el Capistan, and (my second) Foxrox Octron 2...first one died the other day, and I cannot do without. My favorite octave ever.

Actually it is a very cool and simple pedal. Cute too. Amazing how tiny it is.

I don't see using it much at gigs but it will be a great practice tool and lots of fun to play around with.

I told my band during rehearsal I will use it every time we play boring 1-4-5 blues tune during a gig. Loop the pattern.... And go for a beer or a pee!

It is likely a keeper. Plus, I have JUST enough room left on my board for the Ditto and my B3K... which should be in my hands this week.
