sounds nice, i like to use tubescreamer-style pedals as boosts. they seem to work better that way, rather than using it as a standalone drive, in my experience.

It's halfway decent. The good thing is that it was cheap and the blue LED is bright. What I dislike is that when used, occansionally I'll get a digital sound that Is audible especially while using distortion. It doesn't tune to drop D well or when I use my bass. But for $30 it's worth it until i find a pitchblack on sale for cheap.

yeah, if i turn the fuzz of, it normally quiets down, but yeah, like a buzzing that only happens when the display is trying to tell you the note?

Exactly when it happens to me too, but I just turn it off if i'm not using it.

Today sounded good...

'64 Jag, Pitchblack, Box of Cake, Box of Rock, Carbon Copy, RV-7, RC-2, Spider III
The spider doesn't break up like a tube amp, but its dialed in clean as a whistle and sounds great

Have a Mister Crybaby, Klon, and Sunface on the way
EXCITE

Line 6 spider amps are pretty good. My friend has the original spider 1x12, we set it on the twang setting for our band and it works great. Takes pedals pretty well too.

How's the RV-7, i've been looking into reverb pedals. I think i have it narrowed to the RV-7, Boss RV-3, or the EHX Holy Grail +. Just wondered what ur thoughts were.

Sick board.

You really need to stop buying pedals and get a tube amp Haze.

thats my plan actually, im done with the pedal stuffs for now, i think i might snag a friend's 80s crate he has, 50w, and he let me turn it all the way up and MAN tubes sound great when pushed to 10

you don't need a tube amp until you start gigging. or at least recording...

For $30 I picked up an ART Tube Preamp, it may not be a tube amp, but it gives me a warmer sound and a bit of tubey creamy goodness. Look at my pedalboard post, it's under my DOD chorus. I like it and for $30 you can't go wrong even if it doesn't suit ur needs.

noise suppressor eh? i had one of those on my board until recently, it was a tone vampire. i'd rather have the odd bit of feedback than lose all my top end. do you find it useful?

I realized the tone loss not too long after turning it on. I realized that the higher you have the threshhold, the more tone lost. I just turn the decay knob down all the way, and that way i don't have to turn the threshhold up as high. I found a good medium between tone loss and hiss loss. I like it, plus i'm going to get the parallel DC cord so i can power pedals off of it.
