I just have a Big Muff, Memory Man and a Blue Box. Simple. But it works. I might get another fuzz pedal to make more noise...

like so (top one on the list is the closest to the amp)
dunlop 535q cry baby
marshall jackhammer overdrive
mxr phase 90
digitech digital delay
EH big muff
(and closest to the guitar)
EH holy grail.
i get a cooler reverb sound if the guitar goes directly into it. and the wah wah i on that side because with it becomes much less wah wah and more a sci fi vacume cleaner sound (ah la sonic youth dino jr)
im not fucking up the effects tho if i change the order, right?



Yes, you want to put the reverb before the distortion (this is from amp to guitar) because you're reverbing the distortion not distorting the reverb. put the delay after the distortion but before the reverb. wah's go either on the end or the beggining. Phaser after everything. No, youre not fucking up anything if you move them

TS9's are great for boosting other distortions. Rats are the shit. I dont know if I should get a Rat or a Superfuzz clone...

Cool, I like simple boards. The Memory Man is sooo expensive. I just ran my Blue Box through battery and it sounds great and the octave sounds better one battery oposed to an adapter.


I might get the Boss Master Switch & Power Supply, How does this work?

I'm thinking of buying this. The trem arm is missing but I could probably install another. Should I?

drrrtyboots 03.25.2007 11:19 AM

For 75 pounds i'd say hell yeah. It'll probably be a fun guitar to just fuck around with, make lots of noise.

I just got my blue box back from repairs and its still fucking broken and i am fucking pissed.

king_buzzo 03.25.2007 11:31 AM

Yes. Come on, its Robert Smith's first guitar! Take out a pickup and put it in the middle of your Jazzmaster. Then you'd be teh Cure.

Well, I bought it from this guy who does custom mods. It has the volume mod so there's no drop like in the standard ones. The first time they shipped it to me, it worked for about a month and then started having these weird volume drops and then eventually nothing, just really quiet static through my amp. So i sent it back, still under warranty and they told me the soldering came loose in shipping and they fixed it. Now it's fucking broken again after using it for a few hours yesterday. They don't have a return policy either and if I have to keep dealing with shit like this i'm gonna put some m-80 in this mxr and blow someone up.

Awesome!

You should have just bought a normal MXR without mods and just talke out the C11 whatever capacitor.

I just found out that the octave effect on mine stands out more when used with batteries.

drrrtyboots 03.25.2007 11:48 AM

Yeah, if it doesn't work after another repair i'm killing someone.

king_buzzo 03.25.2007 12:14 PM

Oh well, just send it to me if it doesn't work after. I'm sure i could find some usage for it. ;)

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.25.2007 03:08 PM

I'm getting a Korg DT-10 this week. I'm stoked. Easy tuning at the touch of my foot.

king_buzzo 03.25.2007 03:20 PM

^ That one is cool, but the Boss's one is much cuter. Anyways, next week, Boss Power Supply and Master Switch.

Does anyone know if it comes with a stock daisy chain or do I have to buy another one?

It's cool. Haven't been using ring mod much lately, but its quality, and it's gonna be on our album cover.

I kind of bought a blender the other day on impulse - im getting this kind of cool metalic storm out of it but haven't had much time to play with it.

I read this quote and was really upset because I thought he was referring the frequency analyzer on an album cover. Which is totally my idea.
