CHOUT, and everyone else about pedals
 
dude, how is the eh stereo pulsar chout? im thinking between the eh holy grail,eh stereo pulsar or the carl martin surf trem...

do you have some clips of the stereo pulsar? i've never seen one in shops around here. i've seen the stereo pulsar trem demo, the normal one and it sounds badass im guessing this is just the same only with a stereo input in a smaller box?

please anyone share your imput and impressions of these pedals

kingcoffee 02.16.2007 06:44 PM

it's a good pedal. Not the best tremolo out there, but for $80 it's a pretty good one. It's EH so you cant really go wrong. Strong, sturdy construction, great effect, small casing for a possibly crowded pedal board. Go for it. It's the one I've been saving up for.

CHOUT 02.16.2007 06:47 PM

I gots a demo of it up here:
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=646255
listen with headphones if you can, it's in dizzying stereo.

king_buzzo 02.16.2007 07:09 PM

thanks those demos rule

king_buzzo 02.16.2007 07:12 PM

jeez that sounds horrible when its in stereo mode.

ZEROpumpkins 02.16.2007 08:40 PM

But do they still rule?

CHOUT 02.16.2007 10:37 PM

I guess not...

I love the stereo mode.

king_buzzo 02.17.2007 05:54 AM

what about the eh holy grail and the carl martin surf trem? what do you guys think about them?

CHOUT 02.17.2007 02:07 PM

I don't use/like reverb enough to justify buying a reverb pedal, but the HG has a good reputation. Don't know about the surf trem.

king_buzzo 02.17.2007 02:16 PM

okay i decided on the holy grail. the flerb setting pwns

CHOUT 02.17.2007 04:20 PM

I'm getting a Fuzz Face today.

Danny Himself 02.17.2007 07:00 PM

Stop, Chout, STOP!

You have enough pedals. Save your money and buy a boat!

:p

 

Found a deal for it on craigslist this afternoon.

The real reason I bought it is because it will be part of our album cover, but it sounds damn good...better than I thought. Perhaps slightly less smooth than my Deluxe Big Muff, but in the ballpark.

Granted, it has no tone control, so not as flexible. It seems to react similar to some guitars though, when you turn the volume down on it, it seems to get a little bassier warmer sound.

ZEROpumpkins 02.18.2007 02:14 AM

Can you post a picture of all your pedals?

Here's a recent one, but I have parted with a few of them since. The right board is my main one for gigs.

This is more current, minus the dyna comp, pic from that tv/radio show studio:
 

fugazifan 02.18.2007 03:54 AM

i love my holy grail. pu it on the second reverb setting, turn it all the way up put on distortion, and youve got yourself some noise.....

ZEROpumpkins 02.18.2007 04:18 AM

That Deluxe Muff is nearly three times the size of a sovtek! How much did it cost again?

kingcoffee 02.18.2007 04:48 AM

Damn, CHOUT!!! You got some great fuckin pedals man!! That's what I want my set up to look like, roughly.

I traded in the Fender Blender, Tube Zipper, Dyna Comp and Arion Flanger towards that Super Fuzz that I just sold. Sold the LPB1 to my bandmate since he used it more than me.
When you have a buncha stuff and are low on money, that's when you have to figure out the gear you don't use much. Everything else on my board is staying.

king_buzzo 02.18.2007 05:03 PM

okay now, thats good, not too many pedals.

a question about the flerb setting on the holy grail, does the depth change while you change the reverb setting or it is just one setting?

ZEROpumpkins 02.19.2007 02:39 AM

I'm collecting guitars instead of pedals.
On my hit list are:
Fender Jazzmaster
Fender Mustang
Fender Jaguar
Gibson Les Paul
Musicman Stingray Bass

I already have a Tele and a Strat

davenotdead 02.19.2007 03:19 AM

my brother has about 18 or 19 pedals...and mostly because i gave him my sweet babysitting job a few years ago....

I don't know, I never count things...they've been in a state of flux lately with trading towards other gear.
