Pedal Bag
« on: April 19, 2020, 07:27:34 AM »
I dug out the pedal bag this morning, thought I’d play around with a few.  I use these with my guitar.  A few of them I bought new in the 70s and 80s, they all still work great.  :)

Cool.

Somewhere I have a similar vintage Ross Flanger.  No power supply, no battery, it is hard wired to plug into a 110v outlet!

I love that Ross distortion pedal, very fat sound!

I can relate to the Boss Octaver (mine has made in Japan on it which dates it and me!) - it works nicely with my baritone bass ukulele which is E A D G but strung an octave higher than bass guitar.
Also from the same era, I have a Boss Bass Chorus.

I see four or five that I have/had.  Obviously a Brad Sarno fan.

Bill, tgo

Wow - even some in their boxes!  (I'm impressed!)
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure I have an old Ross Phaser. Many moons ago, Dad used to use it on his banjo mic, Pete Wernick (Hot Rize) style. I just about got fired from my side-hustle as their band's sound-guy, for hooking it to the mandolin player's mic one night, then triggering it at just the right moment. He had a little shorter fuse than I thought.  ::)

Cool stuff! One of the things I am doing while staying at home is getting all my vintage pedals back in working shape, plus I am going to build a fuzz pedal from vintage parts I have around here.

I have that Q trop +, only its in silver.

Never really been much of a pedal guy, mainly because the stages I play on are cramped and don't leave much room, but i've been spending more time with my pedal board lately.  Good times.

A Sarno Black Box and a QTron. That’s prodigious!

Those are my guitar pedals, I haven’t used any pedals with my bass yet.  I might try the EBS reverb with the bass.

I bought the Qtron, then right after I ordered it Bill suggested the mini mutton, which I’ve been fooling with.  So, I haven’t tried the Qtron yet. 

What I really need to do is learn how to use Audacity or Ableton so that I can record the primary tracks and then use the effects pedals to add little bites of sound here and there. 

Now, where are those 48 hour days?

Did I suggest a little sheep?  Don’t remember doing that.   Upon reflection I think that would be baaaaaaaad advice!   I assume you mean either the EHX Micro Q-tron, or the Mu-fx Micro Tron III or IV?

Bill, tgo

You’re gonna like it!  But I still want to hear that Mini Mutton - I’ll bet you can get a really wooly tone out of that beast!

hehehehe


Bill, tgo
