Re: Setup of the day
I love it, I’ve got a mate with one of the new silver jets, this thing just wipes the floor with it. I think the Bigsby bridge is a massive part of the tone though.
It is a bit Gretsch-y though, as you say they’re a bit quirky from back then. Mine has a slight neck twist that is totally stable and which I’ve just gotten used to. Still my favourite ever guitar.
Tommy.

Re: Setup of the day
Not a very OSG setup today, but sometimes you just need to slam power chords with a LP Style guitar into a Marshall turned up very loud.

Re: Setup of the day
Yeah, they're decent pedals alright. Not sure I found the delays/reverbs significantly better than others I've tried, but they certainly do the job well enough, and some will find the switchable modes a plus point.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 8:30 pmThat is a killer board!

Re: Setup of the day
You know what? I should've zoomed in before posting! I had assumed (based on the shape) that all of those UA pedals were their amp-in-a-box pedals, not their effects pedals. I'd still love to try them some day, but the UA amp pedals are what I'm most curious to try!!

Re: Setup of the day
Actually, the Lion one up top is a Marshall-in-a-box, which I didn't bother trying as the FX ones were enough to be going on with....and those dogs weren't going to walk themselves!Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 1:14 amYou know what?

I probably spent more time trying to dial in the compressor and the Klon than anything else, but yeah, the UA Deluxe is one I'd love to try.

Re: Setup of the day
My home practice rig is basically Jag/Meteora -> Catalinbread SCP clone made by a friend of mine -> Prime or Peavey practice amp with the gain turned up, use guitar volume and switches to modify the tones. I like it simple - concentrating on practicing not pedals.
Also my live rig is a pain in the arse two amp guitar/organ sim setup with a DBX tube preamp rack on the guitar output to amp stage, so simplicity for practice is probably a pretty powerful panacea. Next time I do paid gig work or a full band practice at least I'll try and take some pictures. It's like a Chevron /\ with a multi-effects on left side and single pedal organ stuff chained on the right, and I put up with it because it sounds huge.

Re: Setup of the day
Ahhhhh Dimension C! That's one of my favourite pedals of all time. I'm all about stereo spatial effects to two amps when I can, to get that fullness, I think because when I produce records I use a lot of stereo spreading effects on the mix and then usually a stereo expander on the mastering stage. Shame they're so pricey though, they kind of live in that "why are all pedals new and used I want £200 these days" category.UlricvonCatalyst wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 11:57 pm

I bought one of these for £35 shipped from eBay to feed that habit. I've had one before, recommended it to a friend who plays acoustic and he loves it for bi-amp stuff, and figured I should get another and keep it this time, mostly for dual amping at home.

Does the WazaCraft one sound like the original DC-2 do you think?

Re: Setup of the day
Haven't A/B'd them personally, but there are plenty of comparison videos out there.
Meanwhile, you could always keep an eye out for one of these at a decent price:
These are even more variable than the Waza version as you can depress all four buttons simultaneously, in any permutation you like.

Re: Setup of the day
I really should've zoomed in! I didn't even notice the Lion up there (to be fair, it's a dark-colored pedal). If money were no issue, I would buy a Lion, Dream, Ruby, and Woodrow. All the demos I've heard of those were absolutely killer sounding.UlricvonCatalyst wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 3:46 amActually, the Lion one up top is a Marshall-in-a-box, which I didn't bother trying as the FX ones were enough to be going on with....and those dogs weren't going to walk themselves!Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 1:14 amYou know what?

Why did I never think to check for Behringer versions of this damn thing?!
I wouldn't pay £200 but I'd pay 10-15% of that for a decent clone of it, and that way if it got broken at a gig I wouldn't be upset. Thanks bud! New avenue to getting that big wide stereo expanded sound...

Re: Setup of the day
I have 3 of these at home. Never paid more than £25 for them (that's recently too). I even found another one for that money and gave it to GaryPtaszek as a gift.
The 18v one is marginally better but I like both really. Hugely underrated pedal.

Re: Setup of the day
Feel free to gift me one in future then
Yeah that's just a photo I grabbed quickly; I believe the one on the way to me is the 18v one, like the one I had decades ago (literally must have been about 2004). Love them. They're alright in mono but I remember having it hooked up to two stacks in parallel corners of the room and being amazed how much bigger it sounded in stereo.
I want to try stacking choruses as I've never done it before and someone here recommended the Space-C so I'm after that now. Chorus into stereo expander to see how far you can push the spread without it sounding like cheap slapback delay
