This is pretty standard. Not much changes except for a volume pedal every now and then (for the lap steel).

Bronco -> Hoof -> 600D -> Crush 10

badass

That Hoof of yours is not going anywhere soon! I must say that I find it hard to turn it off and if I had the money I'd buy a second.

I don't blame ya, I've said it before, that particular Hoof has some special mojo, can't quite re-create it with my 4 knob, although it's still a very badass pedal. Glad it's in good hands

More like setup of from now on rather than just the day...

1980 MXR Distortion II
1986 ProCo Rat (True bypass switch)
90s Sovtek Big Muff (True bypass modded)
90s EHX Deluxe Memory Man, tuned up by Howard Davis

(in retrospect, those aren't actually the settings I use, haha)

That Distortion II has a filter in it? Sweet! How does it sound?

It's a somewhat uncommon pedal compared to the regular old Distortion +. It's hardwired 120v like their analog delay.

The filter control is just a weird way of labeling treble/tone. The resonance control adds a kick somewhere in the 50-100hz range for a nice bottom boost that really seems to love dual 12" speakers. You have to be careful with that one though, as it can get real "woofy" and muddy if you go too high with it.

Overall, it sounds a little bit like a Distortion + but the sound is closer to an overdrive than the often buzzy high end grit of the D+. Plus you get the additional tone control and low resonance as an added bonus too. I love it. I mostly keep it below noon on the gain knob for a nice rich pushed sound.

VHT

New amp day for me:

El Pr0n · Post by **El Pr0n** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 5:35 am

New pedal day in the form of the Memory Boy, I got it in a sale for €80. My friend was buying a memory boy and a holy grail, so they gave him a Deluxe Memory Boy for the same price

And man, I LOVE analogue delay. I knew it'd be different compared to my DD-6, but I didn't realise how different. The best bit is, I don't prefer either, I absolutely LOVE having both digital and analogue together

Also, I didn't realise how much of a crazy noise maker it'd be - square wave vibrato with the 'depth' all the way up and the 'blend' set to taste... MAN!! As soon as I started playing, my mind was racing with a ton of ideas for new sounds. I'm a very happy guitarist right now
