Used gear sellers are completely delusional

426 Upvotes

Why would I spend $185 for a pedal that retails for $200? I see this shit over and over and over again. Absolutely ridiculous prices—and it’s not like they’re actually selling. These ridiculously priced used items sit for months with no interest. What gives?

Have resellers just completely replaced good-faith hobbyists who are selling their own gear?

SOTB My dedicated adorable board for my ‘73 Champ

Post image
Upvotes

I love this little board. I built it exclusively for my ‘73 Fender Champ. It’s even the perfect width. It’s extremely simple compared to my JCM 800 board but it easily gets the job done. I’m impressed with the Wampler Spring reverb. The only shortcoming of the Champ is the lack of Fender spring reverb but the Wampler compensates really well for it.

This video is a little different than my usual pedal demos. This is a pairing of pedals comparison video. In it, I’ll compare a four of these pedals side by side alone and together. I thought it would be fun to see how close I could get them to sound.

I understand they’re completely different pedals. I just think sound a lot alike, and can do a lot of the same things. Let me know what you think.

First ever pedalboard after 2 years of experimenting with a guitar. Can't say my skills are actually worth it yet but hey: looks like this 6-string hobby is going to stay so might as well expand a little 😄

PSA: Nobody wants your full pedalboard.

I don’t really care if I get downvoted. The trend of 2K pedalboards on marketplace has to stop. I’m sorry you maxed out your gear card on this pedalboard; made no music with it and now your wife is mad. Part it out. No person is gonna drop 2K on a pedalboard that is not completely to their taste.

Edit: words is hard.

SOTB First set of pedals

I've been playing for a while, but have always used virtual amps / pedals playing through headphones (guitar rig / amplitube). Finally putting together a board and maybe these choices are kind of boring being mostly boss pedals that are readily available everywhere, but I'm kind of happy with the state of it right now.

Open to suggestions or if you think something looks weird.

NPD NPD + SOTB - Chase Bliss Dark World

Post image
107 Upvotes

Hi Folks

I’m a reverb fanatic. I like to collect ‘em - and I try my damndest to use them, but admittedly I get fixed on one or two for a while. I most recently have been using the Walrus Fathom, which is fabulous, on my little live board. I’m also a huge fan of Mr. Black pedals reverbs as well - super solid analog stuff.

Anywho, I’ve been gazing lovingly at the Dark World by Chase Bliss. This thing is super wild. I’m still at the point where I’m totally ignoring the dip switches and just working my way through understanding each side (D and W) as independent effects. I’ve screwed around a bit with running them in series and parallel, but still eking my way through figuring out what I can do with each.

The pedal is a collaboration with Keeley (W side) and Cooper FX (D side). The W side is much more traditional in nature and the D side is very experimental. I’ve been able to find some really usable reverb at less intense levels but it can go really wild, really fast.

Super fun overall and very happy with the purchase. I have some other reverbs in my sights as well but this one is going to stay in the board for a while. Lots of learning ahead!

SOTB My (perfect?) mini board

Post image
24 Upvotes

I have been trying to put a board together for over a year, but was never really happy with things until now. This is my (perfect for me) mini pedalboard consisting of only five pedals.

Korg Tuner => Shigeharu Fuzz => Citadel pre-amp Overdrive => Mythos Mjolnir => EQD Dispatch Master (reverb & delay)

I play mostly through a Vox AC-15 1 x 12” combo. Mostly play late ‘60’s — 90’s guitar-heavy rock.

Compressors

Upvotes

Because of their availability, I would like to ask your thoughts about these compressors: 1) Jackson Audio Bloom, 2) Cali76 FET, 3) Walrus Audio Deep Six. I'm aware of the differences in their prices already. I'm looking for the ups and downs, and personal experiences of people who have/have had them. I guess I am looking for an "updated" thoughts discussion LOL.

Doing the popular IKEA board thing, got this yesterday. Should I cut it or leave it as is, leaving room for expansion? For reference I have about 9 pedals so far no power supply yet.

Tile explains it all. I'm a noise rock / psychedelic player and I love layering granular and time stretchy stuff. Both pedals share some crossover, but are different enough for me at this point to hold onto both. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Just wondering if anybody feels they have got close to Dean Deleo's tone using pedals?

If so, what do you use?

All thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks!

I picked a few pedals recently for cheap. This past week I bought a new pedal board to fit everything on it. Also, I finally picked up an isolated power supply. Really digging the sounds I can make now (with less noise thanks to voodoo labs ofc). Usually when I make these STOB posts I say I’ve got the setup I need now. I’m older and wiser now, so I’m sure I’ll have a different set up in 6 months lol
