Hopefully later tonight or tomorrow (the missus is watching Monk at the moment), although I'm busy tomorrow.. I'm playing football for a pub team first thing - then watching Liverpool Man United and then getting drunk. Hopefully tonight.

I love this thing Hurb, how could you let yours go? When it self oscillates I pop a boner, and the Chorus, Vibrato and delay sounds are amazing. Sooo much potential.

This fucker is gonna be all over the EP we record next weekend.

SCORE! Congrats, Mike. You've now got more delay and warbling on your board than a stray airbus on Korean time.

haha.. thanks.

I've recorded a sample but can't upload it as my broadband is being spazzy.

Pedal Board Show-And-Tell time!

I hope that image works.

uh yeah pretty basic

Korg tuner which i found, kicks my quik-tunes ass
Big Muff, for J Mascis moments and to piss off my bandmates
Small Clone, meh. If I run the small clone first and turn everything up it sounds like a helicopter, lol.

I need something in the middle-ground between clean and all-out fuzz, what does everyone think of the OD-3? I've heard good reviews on harmony-central, but the 80 quid price-tag pisses me off. I try not to spend over ?50 on a pedal. Any other suggestions for a sort of warm overdrive?

I have one and think it's pretty great. There's a sample I made of it floating around somewhere and it's on "The Wiser" a new song I linked to in the Whore House if you want to hear it. Oh, and I got it 2nd hand for ?30, they don't hold their value as well as Blues Drivers.

cool, thanks.

I used to have a Blues Driver, but I sold it for a Double Muff, which I sold for the Big Muff. How do the two compare?

They're not really comparable - the Blues Driver gets very distortiony and fuzzy at high drive settings whereas the OD-3 stays Overdrivey across the whole range of the Gain dial, it also retains bass nicely, I just think it's a good pedal - try one out at a store when you get the chance.

Thanks Mike.

Btw, Its not big enough to start a new topic, but i need a footswitch for my amp. Its some old big-ass SS piece of crap, but the reverbs really good and its got a jack for a footswitch next to the reverb controls. I'm guessing i'd need a one button footswitch, but would i need latching or non-latching? Whats the difference?

Post by **Mike** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 9:05 pm

Probably latching.

The difference is that the connection to Ground is only momentary on a nonlatching FS but constant after a stomp on a latching switch. Some amps do use nonlatching switches but most use latching.

ooh thats how they work.. I'd always wondered how foot pedals sent signals to the amp without batteries.. thanks.

update...got the pedaltrain in and wired it up with one of those planet waves cable kits...both highly recommended!

Beautiful mess, Shad.

I forgot how bigass EHX pedals can make great booster seats for the little guys who could use a lift.

Why, thank you! And Mr. Melt appreciates the boost.

The Polychorus has the richest flange since Paris Hilton.
