Effects pedals


Every guitarist out there would have probably owned a couple of these in his/her entire lifetime.

This board is the Ocean of fire board, i have a seperate board for church and light gigging so i dont have to lug this giant thing around, and besides, this thing is pretty selective, it tends to work well with certain amps and not so with others, but generally any marshall will do. ( believe it or not but id ratehr run this through an mg100 marshall than a higher grade valvestate, but of course this thing sounds like heaven with a real tubed monster. )

clocwise from the top yellow corner ( thats on your right ),
dod 250 pre-amp - this is primarily a booster, the level is set all the way up with just a lil drive dialled in to give the signal a lil girth and increase its level. i had this one modded to include a super bright led to blind your eyes.

jh-1 wah wah - i had this since i was a kid, its the fourth pedal i ever bought if im not wrong and i splashed every cent of my chinese new year ang pow on this. Im not regretting though since its proven to really last, 9 years old easily and still goin!

Jekyll and hyde ultimate overdrive - this thing is my main dirtbox. its pretty coolwith lots of options built in. i like the fact that its essentially four different pedals ( 4 sounds readily available ) for the price of one, and since my pocket is full of moths this really does the trick to nail those sounds.

moen anole looper - whats "anole" you ask?, im not sure myself but im pretty confident they didnt put something obscene on their products. this is a lil switch box, it allows me to choose between 2 loops of pedals so i dont have to do extreme tap dancing on stage. it also includes a tuner out switch so that i can go into tuner mode which is pretty cool as well. oh did i mention, it has bypass as well so tht i can take all my drives out at once!

Boss cs3 compressor - there are millions of compressors out there... and i had to choose this one!. frankly speaking, this is simply one pathetic compressor if compared to what mxr has to offer. However no one can really tell what compressor youre using unless you tell them. I subscribe to the fact that only a super trained ear will be able to tell the difference between subtle effects. ( so if you have a choice to buy some cool compressor and youc an afford liek 500 bucks, thsi aint for you... however if you have moths in your pocket like me......... )

mxr phase 90 - Yup, its the orange sideways pedal. set to a slow sweep, it does teh jet thing. SHHHHHHWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEESSHHHHHH,

Tech21 sansamp gt2 - This used to be what i used for solos, but it now i have it set up for a very heavy metallic distortion to drive the church folks up the wall ( yeahhhhh!!!! )

tech21 sansamp tri-ac - just like teh gt2 only bigger with programmaeble patches so i can recall the saved sounds. Im really thinking of getting rid of this pedal, since i only use 1 patch from it half the time, and thats just for overdrive, if i could get a smaller pedal of equal quality this guy is sure to go. IM LETTING IT GO NOT BECAUSE IT SUCKS but for practical reasons, i need more space on an already crowded board!

Leila vintage electronics 4X12 cab simulator - A solution for an ampless gig, this thing allows you to play all your analog effects directly into a mixer. It warms up yoru drives so they dont sound like MOSQUITOS. But i have not played an ampless gig in ages, so i dont think i will be needing this guy as well.... oh yes, it works as a booster too.

mxr micro amp - The red sideways pedal... yup that one at the end there... yeahhh righhht there... yeah that one. This is my solo kick, i kick it in for a clean boost to push the levels up, but these days its always on as a buffer to restore the tone after the long chain of stuff.

boss dd3 delay - Digital delay at its best. yeah yeah yeah... i know a tc electronics nova delays kicks butt but please remember the moths in my pocket . enough said.

Biyang ad7 analog delay - yeah yeah anotehr cheap solution, and no i dont have cash for a dm2 so this will have to do. But to be honest, this cheapo stuff dont sound bad either, in fact, will teh average person tell the difference between my ad7 and a dm2?

Boss ns2 - just a noise gate. does nothing else but that and a lil buffering on the tone.

carl martin classic chorus - i really love this puppy! really recommend thsi chorus to anyone who loves playin with choruses. Its not really that expensive but the sound really is EXPANSIVE. 2 modes of choruses means more fun, plus it has a boost knob for bringing up the level of your guitar everytime the effect is engaged!. doesn't overwash your sound. Nope nothing near the CE2 type of chorus right here, but still quite versatile.

boss ps5 super shifter - I use this as a harmoniser mostly. nut it can also do the whammy pedal thing and some otehr functions, but i never really bother with them.

boss ge7 equaliser - just your average eq, plain looking, straightforward, boring eq. but very very important. Ill never leave home without it. Really saves lives , especially when you dont know what kinda amp youll be expecting during a gig.

behringer dumbass tuner - The name speaks for itself. Its a cheap dumbass tuner.... why?, let me remind you about the moths in my pocket.....

yes i couldve got a boss tu2.... but no way am i paying extra for just a tuner!!! goodness sakes... its just a tuner!!!. And so far, this cheap dumbass tuner has been quite gig worthy. Nevermind it being plastic, still gets the job done.
