Guest iep Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 watmmites, is any of you utilising the Black Art of stompboxes/guitar pedals/robots 'n lasers? are you using them exclusively in combination with guitars, or also with synths, samplers, your pc, and other audio stuffsels? ..if so, what are your favorites? any of you people into building your own pedals....? i'm asking because i'm gonna build a TS-808 (ibanez) style distortion pedal later this week.. i'll be following most of the original oldskool design, but i'm planning on doing a couple of modifications like making it do asymmetrical clipping (instead of symmetrical), getting rid of the (in)famous mid-range boost (for a deeper bass response and cleaner hi's), etc.. share yer darkest secrects, wickedest methods and sickest thoughts... ok, maybe not that last one (things could get messy) but you know what i mean, right? RIGHT?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iep Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 just finished my distortion pedal right now.. i call it the SCHEURERR BEESCHT... that's TEARER BEAST (as in, a Beast that tears shit up) in english.. it's a fucking monster.. here's a small demo... i play a riff on my waldorf microwave xt synth, and i active the distortion pedal after 37 seconds... & proceed to tweak the SCHEURRN (drive) and TOON (tone) knobs.. i feed it raw into my soundcard, with just a little bit of reverb applied.. listen to that lush asymmetrical clipping & keep in mind that this was all recorded at 8am after a long night of vodka and solder fumes.. the lil demo is about 3 minutes long.. and 6mb... Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://sisforawesome.com/upload/files/32/lildistdemo.mp3 i'll check out the designs of the dd5, it sounds wicked, maybe i can emulate it's design and build an improved clone like i just did with the ibanez ts808 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iep Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 yeah i was surprised by his sound, its very crunchy and tube-like and the low freqs can really growl.. here's some more: Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://sisforawesome.com/upload/files/32/knars.mp3 its not really a demo, its more like a full-fledged noise assault coming at you straight from the Scheurerrbeescht. here's some pics of the beescht and his guts: i'm gonna add water-slide decals lettering after the weekend & make some patterns in the metal with some fine-grit sanding paper & i'll probably get some other knobs; solid, heavy and massive metal knobs. the Scheurerrbeescht in it's natural habitat. through the looking glass... macro of the pcb.. look at the display of the multimeter... the devil is in the details.. this is what it'd be like when you'd stuff a pcb on shrooms.

YEK Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 so you bought a kit iep? how did you learn how to do that i'm impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest version2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 very nice I like: sansamp electro harmonix stuff moog pedals (moogerfooger!) I'm always checkin the guitar shop near my pad. This guy always has strange one-off pedals made by fly-by-night companies or enthusiasts. He also sells one-off guitars. very special (and rare) shop. usually a suprise or two when I go in there.

Guest Captain Cooper Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Dan's got this really evil bright yellow analog bass distortion thingy but he won't let me borrow it. This is the extent of my experience with pedals. Oh, and once when I was on speed I sat in my mate's bedroom playing the only 3 guitar chords I knew and rocking his wah pedal... for about three hours... PS, iep, your pedal's sounding fly as fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEK Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 i need some help. are the behringer's any good cause i know they can make some decent gear sometimes http://www.behringer.com/DD100/index.cfm?lang=ENG there's a delay pedal 35 bucks for that pedal or 200 bucks for a boss if i stomp a 35 dollar pedal will it break in half? what's the deal, the behringer looks like a good route to go, i could buy 3-4 times as many pedals that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest version2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 don't buy behringer. you won't regret it that day but it will be trash in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LJG Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 so you bought a kit iep? how did you learn how to do that i'm impressed I second that- Links plz!! Looks like fun. I use a digitech RP7. It has loads of good stuff, tube output, and a realtime expression pedal for wahs and for realtime parameter changes. Excellent on phasing and chorusing, and pretty much everything else. One fine stoned afternoon, I got together with a couple of mates and jammed out with an electric guitar, boss sampler, and boomerang sampler. One guy ran the boss and the P.A.'s eq, another guy played guitar, and i ran the boomerang, sampling both of them, and ran all that through the rp7 for tweakz. It was quite fun.

Lucas Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Digging up the old threads ! I don't have any guitar pedal but I'm interested. Pretty versatile if you consider that you can combine it with every other peace of gear you have, without speaking about all the VSTs and samples you could take from your computer. Anyway, I'm sure you guys and girl have a lot to say after these five years and so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iep Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Digging up the old threads ! Anyway, I'm sure you guys and girl have a lot to say after these five years and so. daymn i sure loved that distortion thing back then when i was 17 :sup: bought the pcb from a dutch company called newtone/newton? i think? in the meantime, lullezucht lended me his Electro-harmonix Big-Muff (russian version) which is miles nicer, he also gave me a weird pink/purple American distortion thing that was borken but pretty neat when fixed. BOSS i believe. BOSS: i have their DM-100 Delay Machine. supercool BBD bucket-brigade analog delays--truly an underrated obscure classic. over.

Guest couch Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I have lots of effects. The ones that I've used somewhat regularly. boss odb2 boss hm2 (an 80s one unnnhhhh) ibanez tubescreamer (again an 80s one) ehx holy grail reverb (its alright I guess) wren and cuff tall font russian (can't find a better muff style fuzz without getting some old russian green box, i've gone through about a dozen different fuzz pedals and arrived at this one) dwarfcraft great destroyer dwarfcraft synth mangler dwarfcraft eau claire thunder some boutique analog tremolo pedal, it has no markings at all. Has volume/speed/depth control on it. vfe killer rabbit od/distortion combo pedal (custom made) Got lots of other boss ones too but I haven't used them much. I mostly play bass and don't actually use much effects except for the TFR for some sick doom fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kokeboka Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm currently using these with my band: Cusack Screamer (a souped up screamer) EHX POG EHX Deluxe Memory Man Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun Devi Ever Godzilla Other nice stuff that I have but don't use very often: Fender Blender EHX PolyChorus Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe EHX Freeze Zvex Machine WMD Geiger Counter Moog Moogerfooger Ring Modulator Boss Tremolo I love the Devi Ever fuzz - I have a thing for fuzz pedals in general. I had a Dwarfcraft Shiva a while ago but I ended up selling it once I got the Devi Ever. I really should try some of these on synths some day.
