Title: If you couldn't build pedals...........
Post by: playpunk on April 27, 2015, 02:27:54 PM
What would you have on your board?

I'd probably have stuff from Caroline GCO, Diamond, VFE, Strymon and Neunaber. At least those are the companies that come to mind when I think of high quality and original(ish) designs. I'm starting to think about this more, because I am running out of time to build much.

So what would yours be?

I would just replace my clones with their real counterparts, price permitting, if not I'd get some Boss or EHX pedals instead. Cause there's no way in hell I'm going to fork out more then €100 for a boutique dirtbox. The only real problem would be my custom loopers, as I made them according to my own special needs and so far I've yet so anything on the market that could replace them.

Probably would have the slew of 90's pedals I had before I built my own: US built Vox V847 with a scratchy pot, Danelectro Dan-Echo, Russian Big Muff Pi, and a Russian Small Stone.  All running off 9v's.  Yay!

Yeah I'd go Boss as well. Still lots of pros using em every night and it's all in the guitar and the amp anyway. Always has been.

A SHO or derivative from that line.

It would be a changing mix of Dr. Scientist, Wampler, Catalinbread, and EHX. And Barber.

I had a bunch of Boss pedals before I started building. I sold them all when I built replacements. At that time I thought... Hey I'm saving money... Then the collection grew and I no longer had pedals to replace so I just kept adding to it... haha

Like Tim, I would probably just use my classics I held on to. EHX big box's and my newer Strymon stuff.

These three things would have me covered very nicely:

Cheap bastard that I am, I'd probably still just have my Korg Pitch Black, and my Ibanez PH-7.

I'd probably have... a EBS MultiComp, couple tube screamer variants Ibby/Maxon, probably no fuzz and a Decimator. I'd then have a Phase100, EHX Delay of some sort and a WET reverb.

That would do it.

All rack mount, a single processor, I used a v-amp pro for years, served me well.

Right now I tell myself that I play guitar so I can build pedals...  :-\

If I couldn't build... I probably wouldn't be playing.  ::)

Strymon Flint, digital delay with option to reverse (my Eventide was a gift so I think I would go with something cheaper, like a one of those TC electronics delays) and Dr Scientist The Elements or  some other all-in-one overdrive/distortion (have to try a Clusterfuzz yet, but that might be an option if it works good with slide guitar).

I can build pedals so.. I (if I had the money) would buy the Strymon and Empress effects I cant build...and then build all the dirt pedals I can build...Oh yea... in a perfect world.

Nice one! I'd go for the Axe-FX, almost all the signal routing and flexibility I could ever want.

I'd probably go broke buying vintage Fuzz's and a Klon but most of my board is pedals I've bought because I like wierd digital stuff with lots of bizzare settings, like the Boss Slicer and Digitech TimeBender. I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to build that sort of stuff.

I'd probably just have the stuff I've built... or clones thereof.
