I got another new pedal
 
Johnson Ft-2 Fifties Tremolo. It's in great condition and it's got a very nice vintage trem tone, I love it!
But, I also found out that my wah is back ordered and it won't be here until next week at the earliest.

Image of pedal, not my actual one.

I've owned the johnson echo, chorus, and distortion. Well, someone just gave me their distortion and it needs a new input jack.

The echo was pretty cool. Wish I didn't trash it.

these pedals kinda intrigue me. cheap and seem sturdy enough. but i have too much stuff right now. CHOUT syndrome.

It sounds great. Set both knobs to the centerish area and put it on Square wave and you get a real nice surf tone on a clear channel.

They have a few cheap ones, but most of them are not budget priced.

nice one, any of you happen to own an ehx clone theory (orig or reissue) ? i'm looking into one o'those and am looking for demos and stuffs (gonna be mainly for bass-use)

CHOUT 02.21.2007 05:44 PM

There are 2 of the CT. One of them is me playing some Police. Other one is Velvet Underground and Pink Floyd.

I need to make a better one.

I know little to nothing about pedals. What exactly is a Clones Theory pedal, and what does it do?

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.22.2007 02:44 PM

It does either vibrato or chorus (chorus is when you take vibrato and mix in clean so you hear them going in and out of tune with eachother)

It can do really slow deep vibrato to make a guitar sound like it is being played by a warped record. Or a really fast shallow vibrato to give a nice organlike tone to the guitar.

king_buzzo 02.22.2007 04:28 PM

small stone
cm surf trem
rat2

might even get the lpb1 power booster. chout, you had it right? how was it? i really dont want to spend loads of money on like a micro amp or a germania so i'm interested in this one...

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 02.22.2007 04:29 PM

Next for me is a flanger and a tuner and maybe some BYOC pedals. There is a new delay coming out that I am waiting for.

That is about it.

king_buzzo 02.22.2007 04:37 PM

i want a fuzz factory. and not the budget one i want the hand painted one.

king_buzzo 02.22.2007 05:02 PM

I have an Effector 13 Truly Beautiful Disaster, which is probably what you are talking about. It's a fuzz with feedback loop. Sadly, some pedals don't work in the feedback loop (they work, but not overloading them with the photo sensitive eye), like pretty much any electro harmonix pedals. Delay pedals sound pretty great in the feedback loop. Mostly use it for a true bypass loop to turn multiple effects on and off with one switch.

king_buzzo 02.22.2007 05:41 PM

yeah that is what im talking about.

anyways i got that holy grail. it pwns, got the free sticker and a free adapter. it sounds great especially flerb. theres a volume drop in the spring setting.

i will make sound clips the next week.
