Your Pedalboard's Evolution (56k BEWARE!) [Get off 56K already...]

Started in about 1982 with an Ibanez PT9 phaser and DOD FX25 Envelope filter. Along the way I had a EHX Screaming Tree and one of those round Jimi Hendrix fuzz things.

This go around is as follows...

I've got one more since that last shot, I'm getting one maybe two more this coming week and another in a few weeks... these things are like little crack boxes.

Newest version...

While my 1st pedal was the Zoom 506 (v.1) many years ago This was my 1st stompbox and what got it all started.

Got the Sansamp and wanted a pedalboard so started collecting cheap used pedals to fill up the real estate. Also traded the Q-Tron for the Synth Wah.

The Synth Wah is 9v as opposed to 24v and a little more up my alley. Lost money in the deal but oh well.

Got a decent working rackmount preamp thus no longer needed the Sansamp traded it for the Toadworks Redux.

Got a good deal on the Boss SD-2 and liking it a lot.

I do miss having the three channels of the BDDIP so I figured with the FS-5U I could have a facsimile of the Sansamp BDDI Programmable.

Still have the Nano Clone and the ToneDriver. Currently at the rehearsal space for the bandmates to noodle with.

Added TU-2

Then the OC-2

Then the Supercollider and a DI box and the delay and synth wah came off the board.

So how do you find the Katana?

I find it to be the best fuzz [for me] I've ever tried, being a supper fuzz it is on the buzzy/grindy side and it has tons of lows on tap, it really sits in the mix well without getting lost or being over the top. It isn't a big wall of doom like a muff but with the Cherry Pop running into it I can get a bigger wall of doom then I could with a muff. It's sound without the octave on is really close to a HAO the Roar which is my all time favorite sounding fuzz but it doesn't have issues with buffers and signals from other pedals or active basses, and it has more out put volume where the roar is a little below unity on bass, so I can get "MY" fuzz sound without a blend a booster and a EQ add to the fuzz pedal so it is repacing about four boxes now to get one sound.

Sounds like it was worth the money then.
