Your best 5 pedals.

#21
1. Darkglass Vintage Deluxe MkII. It shines in a band mix and sounds huge by itself.

2. My Fuzzrocious Custom Demon/Cat Tail. Basically just a Demon stacked into a Cat Tail. I absolutely love it

3. Dunwich HM-2. It sounds insane on both bass and guitar, has loads of balls and low end.

4. Idiotbox Blower Box. Amazing distortion pedal, but also a great tone shaper.

5. Darkglass B7K Ultra. A bit too scooped for my tastes, but great for more Modern sounds.

From best to "worst"

1) Bass Whammy. My favorite
2) TC Flashback Delay Mini. Tiny, versatile, does the job REAL well.
3) Ibanez WD7. Kicks ass for both guitar AND bass, due to being able to tweak the low end, output, Q, and the frequency range.
4) Dano 600MS Delay. Very good cheapo delay if you can't afford the Carbon Copy.
5) Dano Fish & Chips EQ. Best budget EQ bar none.


Runner up: Monoprice Chromatic Tuner. Does the job, doesn't color the sound, fairly accurate. Do plan on replacing it, but poopie, it does the job for $25.

1) Noble tube preamp-DI

5) 3Leaf Audio Octabvre Mini

Would say my top three would be
1. JohnK Fet2B
2. Verellen Meatsmoke preamp pedal
3. FEA DE-CL compressor/limiter.
Those three are my always on tone, and I don't ever play without.

Then Out of my effects, my next two would be
4. Panda Audio Future Impact: sweet synthy goodness
5. Broughton PLL clone: PLL is love, PLL is life.
Honorable mention would be a tie between my Bubble Font Big Muff and my Boss PS-6.

Best or ones I like the most? ;) LOL

I hate these questions. It makes things really hard on me. COME ON!!!!

Ok screw it.

1.Dual Bitquest
2. Dual The Elements
3. Toneczar Vault
4.Darkglass B7k
5.Toneczar Echoczar

If I had to, I'd live with those 5 (I know two are duals, but technically they are one since they are in one box!!!). I stack the B7K with almost everything but my signature sounds it he B7K stacked with the Vault. I'm using the vault almost like an overdrive. It saturates the signal so much and is really crisp and crunchy. I love it.

Boss CE-1 (Amazingly rich and full sounding chorus and vibrato effect. But unfortunately it sucked so much tone, even when not engaged, that sadly it was useless in reality)

My DOD FX60 (Boss CE-2 clone) was the same. Subtle but beautiful chorus effect, but the tone suck was just too much, especially for bass. I have a friend selling an MXR Analog Chorus I'm going to replace it with, since it has EQ controls.

isn't this like a boss chorus but just tweaked a bit

I've owned a lot of chorus pedals, and this one is in a league of its own. It sounds more like what you can get with high-end studio gear, by multi-layering some delay and ambience. This (linked) review in Premiere Guitar Magazine, and the sound clips there, and on YouTube made me yearn to try it out myself. Not inexpensive, but in line with other premium pedals.

The meat smoke isn't anything close to an svt preamp. It's very similar to a Mesa bass 400/400+.

I don't doubt it has a similar to the Mesa. the meat smoke. all tube is 300 watt 6550 head. It was built to be the ampeg killer. and cop the classic 70's tone. not really the newer one. which aren't as dark. I believe. everyone hears what they what they want. Either way that's a sick amp. also the power amp section makes a difference. the meat smoke has two different type of models an all tube and a hybrid. the pre is a different beast by itself.

Mesa originally used 6550 now the use 6L6 so that might be what you are hearing

CE-1 into an amp mic'd is what a lot of classic chorus that you'll hear. it's a phaser and a vibrato detune together. the first chorus they produce was a CE-1 clone. the new model has the vitalizer buffer. so they started ce-1 originally. the new one is suppose to be a completely new pedal, but I don't know if I belief that. At end of it all as long as it sound good who cares?! lol
