I just want Fender to repop the baritone Jazzmaster. They are way too expensive used. Emma Ruth Rundle uses one.

NAD :slight_smile: this little thing is fun

Any recommendations for a spring reverb pedal (cheap and small preferably)?

Reorganized my pedalboard this weekend. About half the pedals on there were not attached, so everything is stuck down now. I’ve used the same stuff for years.

  • Boss ES-5 switcher (I use almost none of the features other than turning effects on/off)
  • Moog minifooger ring mod
  • Seymour Duncan Shapeshifter tremolo
  • Seymour Duncan Polaron phaser
  • Eventide Rose delay
  • Eventide Blackhole reverb
  • Peterson tuner

Pretty simple and I rarely change settings on anything or use presets.

Recently started looking for pedal board power options. WHY THE F*** ARE THESE THINGS SO EXPENSIVE!?

Cioks and Canvas cost more than my most expensive pedal…

I have the ā€œMondoā€ that is currently $300. Absolutely bonkers. I’ve had it for eight years or so, but the original purchase was painful.

There’s lots of options out there depending on your budget and your power needs. Cioks is great but definitely on the higher end; if you need something cheaper there’s decent options in the $65 and up range on Sweetwater.

Can recommend my Klowra Vires and it didn’t sting too much at $129.

Hey everyone hoping to get some suggestions. So I’ve been playing a weekly gig for the last 9 months that has turned pretty successful and actually profitable, just played a wedding this past weekend! I am using a RC-600 as the brain/arranger. I have about 30 different lofi-study-beat drum loops and I just jam along to those and build up some grooves. I use a Tele deluxe and for effects I have a Mood doing a washed out polaroid reverb and a basic analog delay for emphasizing certain leads when Im feeling it. So those are my colors: the 3 pickups which are very distinct, and a reverb and delay. Here’s my problem: after about 90 minutes I get bored of going through this palette of tones and the synth side of me wishes I had some much more esoteric sound design options. I know I could actually bring my synths but as many of you know, loading in and out is about 90% of the gig and I’m not carrying or setting up anymore things. So I’m looking for something weird to put on my pedal board. I’m leaning toward one of the Boss synth pedals but was wondering what else is like that you could recommend?

I still have mine. Haven’t used it in a grip, but damn I loved it for years! Always an inspiration. I used to just lay my guitar on the floor, set the elbow on a string, and then tweak knobs for drones. I should do that again. Haha! DL-4 + Ebow is heaven.

I came to suggest an ebow. I always have one nearby in the studio.

haha, I spent about 3 hours last night thinking about this and looking at different options and the one thing that really stuck out to me was the Ebow, which made me think of my previous comment. Well that was easy, guess i’m going to learn the dark art of ebowin. should be fun to send into the Mood

I was going to suggest an EHX Attack Decay pedal. It does kind of crazy stuff, but sounds like you’re already set.

And lots of reverb.

On the pedal side, I like the Attack Decay and POG 2 from EHx.

Not set! keep them coming!

I just wonder will i look too dorky with an ebow? beacaus, as many of you know, load in/out might be 90% of the gig, but looks makes up the other 50%!

What about something digital like the HX One. Small footprint but has loads of effects, including the swell / attack effects, ring mods and weird decays, and a couple of synths that track pretty well? Or the TC Plethora X1 that has a similar massive range (although no dedicated synth, I believe) and takes up even less space.

Having presets would be very nice, I was thinking of a some multi effects thing, hadn’t come across this tho!
