i was thinking about a wattson fuzz (spot-on superfuzz)... so many fuzz pedals...

I honestly can't tell the difference from anything to anything else. This cottage industry thing has got way out of hand.

These VFE pedals are dangerous. I think I may need to make a purchase down the track.

If I could I would have seven of these all in a chain.

I looked at the VFE page and the video just had some generic music and showed pictures of pedals and how I could get 61 different colours and 63 different knobs. That seems like cart-before-horse behaviour.

but they're really good prices and they have videos of all the actual pedals?

eh haters gonna hate but the two i've got are awes and can't wait to get more

is the 5:00 fuzz now the fiery red horse?

i think so, i haven't looked closely at the differences but i think it's a slightly simplified version

anyone after an overdrive pedal: lovepedal bursts on sale for $150 australia (incl shipping)

Hey SGH, how much you pay for the T-Resonator and where'd ya get it? Planning on getting one within the next few months myself, only seem 'em on ebay...
Also do you need a transformer to power it?

aaaaaaaand while I'm here, the last device I got was this baby:

It massive!

i don't know what that does but i'm fascinated by it

That looks phenomenal Letsnoise!

Any advice on choices for a nice thick sounding reverb pedal for the noise world?

Letsnoise: A shade over four hundred even (inc. shipping) new from a German eBay store for the T-Resonator. Power is 9V AC, so $15-20 unit from Jaycar would avoid the need for an adaptor.

Hellza: Boss RRV-10 halfrack or maybe the RV-2 pedal, though I'd certainly give one of the Behringer echo knockoffs a go.

Cheers! I'm guessing that's the same guy I was checking out.

Hellpoppin - I've got a Behringer Echo Machine, pretty good I reckon. Has heaps of options for noisemaking:

I'm keen to check out the EHX Cathedral - http://www.ehx.com/products/cathedral

I also use and endorse the Behringer Echo Machine. It sounds like CRAP and it does many weird, unexpected things that no other pedal does (that I've heard).

The worst thing about it is that the little blue light is so bright that it hurts your eyes and makes it impossible to look at the thing. I've covered mine with tape.

the EHX cathedral is a pretty sweet all in one, especially at the price. good control, but probably best for the infinite verb and grail flerb. heard http://cubisteffects.com offers mod for those push/preset EHX pedals that lets you tap the presets up/down with two extra switches. can't have enough verb, so tappin thru presets quick will be cool.

I just bought an EHX Holy Grail Reverb. haven't tried it out yet.

heh - not enough boosts :)

fatboost 3 en route! :D

probably slot it in towards the end.

only kidding man :)

hey fuzz, have you tried running your vocals through the eventide space?

Not as yet but I'm sure it'd sound amazing. This pedal is so sweet. Even on the plain old room setting.

fuzz, up until now, i have not been jealous of your pedalboard.

i still say its too big.

i'm tempted. how much did you shell out for it?

I thought I lost my super hard on, but I found it under my desk!!

gross.

okay, i'm thinking of pulling the trigger on an eventide space and might use it for live vocals. i'd want to have it on stage though, not in the effects loop.

i reckon i'll need something to boost from mic level to line level before going into the pedal. any ideas? also, will probably want to have a dry and a wet signal to blend into the foldback mix so it doesn't feedback like crazy...

Haven't had any level or feedback problems yet, but if you want to have a different wet/dry signal, maybe something like a Radial Stereo D.I.? Mic straight into first D.I. then the through from that into the Space, and back into the second D.I.

so have you tried the space on your vox, fuzz?

my ZVEX Nano Head came today.

ok - i gotta say - this amp sounds amazing. pedals like the MI Audio Blue Boy Deluxe & the vintage RAT sound great in front of it, and it's hard to believe it's only a 1/2 watt amp.

definitely check one out of you see one.

but what do you do with it columbo?

can you put it into a marshall quad box and crank it?

or is it just for direct input into a mixing desk, or DI?

how loud is it?

hey man - and nah, it's not a preamp - it's a 1/2 watt tube amp. i've been plugging it into a Marshall quad.

it's sort of a really cool home-jamming/home-recording amp. it gets loud, but not really loud enough to be heard over drums :)

^ ^ it's designed to be super quiet but, like all the other zvex stuff, it also has a really great sound

''i reckon i'll need something to boost from mic level to line level before going into the pedal. any ideas?''

Ya need a XLR to 1/4'' impedance booster. It's like a male XLR, then a short lead, then a male 1/4''... don't get the thing that's just a little clippy thing without the lead cause they don't boost the impedance. I got mine from Manny's for the whopping and completely unreasonable price of about $50 or so. There are also cheapo cables that have XLR on one end and 1/4'' on the other, which can work ok, but they usually don't boost the impedance, so you won't get as much definition.

oh no!! looks like threads are being eaten again.

Time for MarkIII I reckon. Who wants to do the honours?

hang on - i'm in the process...

done!
