Re: Setup of the day

[JSett]

I had a walrus Julia for a chorus for a while and kinda struggled with it. Then on a whim I bought the ce-2w, plugged it in, set the knobs wherever and turned it on and was like: “yep, that’s the thing.” Listed the Julia online minutes later.

If Roland can't deliver a good chorus then we know we're in trouble.

mate. i've been using the same boss CE3 since i was 12 and i got it from my dad who bought it new and every time i try a different chorus i'm just like "ok, that's cute but i'm going back to the boss"

right now my coworker is looking for a JC40 just so he can have that classic chorus tone. he's wanted one for over a year but they either sell too quickly OR are too expensive at that moment for him and i get it.

Love that. I'm still using the same CH-1 I bought used in 1995 at 13 years old (along with my RAT) and it still sounds great. Sounds like chorus does in my head. Fuck the rest, Boss is best.

I had exactly the same experience. It’s one of those small minority of pedals that sounds great at any knob setting.

i also kinda stick the MXR phase 100 in that list. like it has 2 knobs. stick em wherever and just work with it.

i think some modulation pedals just go crazy like "more knobs = more tones" but most folk just want variations on 1 sound that was perfected years ago

It's not my favorite chorus pedal but it's the one one my board and I can't find a bad setting on it no matter how hard I try. It, by all accounts, should be my favorite. It's just... the Analogman Stereo Chorus just sounds so more lush and deeper without sounding as effected and I don't understand how?

My "weird music" setup is not moving much lately, all of this straight into the board:

Gorgeous guitar!

Thank you, sir!

Messing about with the new Funny Little Boxes: Dirt (bet you can’t guess the sound it’s aimed at) & a £40 Fuzz War clone I picked up.

Also bought a cheapo volume control and trying backwards stacking, so taking away rather than adding. I’m using the GE-7 to give me some extra heft with the Tele vs a Les Paul without changing the amp settings . Fun!

That finish with the FZ-3! I wish I still had my FZ-3, I don't even remember what happened to it.

After a few months with my SFTR I’ve gone back to LOVING my Quilter rig. The Twin is great and not going anywhere but the Quilter is so flexible and there’s virtually no background noise. I just got the Exacta fuzz and I’m in love, it does great single note fuzz but I can also play full bar chords with it, what other fuzz can claim that!? I need to tidy up the pedalboard soon, it’s a disaster of cables right now. I mostly used my Vintera I Jazzmaster with Lollars today but I also messed with my Danelectro DC12 a bit and that also loved the Quilter rig. I got a new sticker for the Dano as well today while birthday shopping for my girlfriend.


I don’t partake much, but I suspect that may change with this new administration coming in…

I know I've posted this board before, but I've been having a lot of fun with some new additions and rearrangement.



I recently swapped the physical locations of the DSD-2 and the Tera Echo. I wanted the TE-2 down front because I use it a lot and wanted better access to the Hold function. Plus, the volume pedal was taking away the pick attack that fires off the space lasers.

I also wanted to move the DSD-2 farther back in the signal chain for other reasons. The setup HAD been Tera Echo into DuoTime into Wonderland Reverb, but I swapped the order, and now the DuoTime is before the DSD-2. I can choose whether I want tap tempo delays, or low-res free-floaters, rarely will I chase both at the same time.

Except...

See that green cable leading off the bottom of the board? That's the key to the whole thing. I plugged a M-to-F adapter into the "Trigger" input of the DSD-2, so now I have a jack at the foot of the board for it, without having to yank the Boss off the board to plug something in.

That green cable runs to the "Trigger Out" of my drum machine. So, I can program a pattern across 1-4 bars, and the DSD-2 will "open up" and fire off a repeat on the selected steps.

Which means the pattern of the delays is any 16th-note subdivision/pattern I want to program into it. My 1985-86 digital delay pedal can now sync in perfect time with my drum machine, so that "final" layer of rhythmic delay overlays on top of everything else. The texture of everything before the volume pedal, and even the tap-tempo delay after it can get locked to the drums while I space out in my living room, no digital routing or MIDI required.

Still riding the Boss Renaissance.

Looks good, very clean! I need to get my board that straight.

I’ve always been fascinated with the Tera Echo but never tried one. I hope one pops up cheap on CL someday.

Bassman 100 always is sexy.
