Pedals Of Epicness

[robthemac]

Boring,I’d be going for different, not another that sounds the same!

Plenty of good other flavours that stack nicely with a Klone, depending if you use it as a boost or an OD. If you're using it as an overdrive, my favourite is a Tube Screamer into Klone. If you're using it as a boost, I like a Klone pushing a Bluesbreaker or Dumble-oid overdrive.

Oh dear, I’ve never looked at anything Dumble, best go check some shit out!

Enjoy! Zendrive is kinda the OG, but I have enjoyed the Wapler Euphoria and heard good things about the J Rocket Dude.

For budget version, I'm quite happy with my budget version too https://www.amazon.com/Rowin-Analog-Dum ... VFXQG?th=1

Yip, it was originally built for me, I sold it to Slowy, he promised first dibs, kept his promise and I bought it back.

It’s had another face lift. Slowy didn’t like the face plate so he changed it. bill the maker didn’t like what Slowy did to it so has changed it again.

I don’t even know what to yet, I haven’t picked it up, I don’t have an opinion on what it looks like so I just said do whatever makes you happy!

I need Bill to send me a photo! And I haven't forgotten the backplate...Honest!

Timmy, and either a Tumnus or Archer plus Optimus were my main combination. My tones are on the mild side of OD and crunch but obviously this can get more enthusiastic.

I'll probably get laughed at but I have always thought of Timmy's 3 position switch this way:
Up: Marshall
Middle: Power ballad lead
Down: Dirty Tweed

Just the way I heard them and how I chose which to use.

I’ll figure out how to post a pic on here when I get it back!

The Tumnus is mu usual low drive pedal, but won’t hurt to try another, never heard of an Archer plus so I’ll go look that up!

J Rockett Archer. It's just another well regarded Klone.

I like how you think of them, with the utility being the thing.
It would have ensured you actually played with the switch!

I thought of it as compression, High-Low-Medium but that’s usually because I was building the things and counting the diodes

I use that switch all the time. V3 has reverted to internal dipswitches and the Vemuram Jan Ray doesn't have them at all.
No use to me.

New shiny thing vs older thing that sounds very similar, argggghhhhh

[AiRdAd]

The thing I liked about the timmy was the individual bass and treble cuts. Was great with my my Marshall.

Obsessed with low gain overdrives at present...

The amount of pedals that go thru NZG makes me think that a library should be setup - pedals can be taken out for 2 weeks then returned.

We have a swaps thread and the, aaaah, foreign exchange thread I think it's called.

I'm usually keen to try new gear and happy to swap out mine.

You ever tried a Bronson?

I have not, how would you describe it?

It excels at that low to medium gain range pushing a Vox, punchy, and even works beautifully into a Fender - if you turn the bass control all the way down it’s tuned to hit
the corner frequency that a tubescreamer uses.

Kinda if you rolled a Timmy, a Blues Pro, and a Gain Changer into one.

For blokes




...and the Burr Brown op amp is a real thing. I've heard BB equiped DACs in a monitoring environment and they certainly have a sound...very smooth and clean. Also have/had (on permanent loan) the T-Rex Replica (V1) clone of the TC Electronics black delay box that has BB ops and it sounds waaayy nice...a soft sort of clean, especially on the 'brown' (tape sim) setting.
