Up until a couple of months ago I hadn’t played electric for a good 8 years.
I wanted to get in again and found out that most of my pedals have been borrowed out to people who disappeared so I decided to start anew.
The world is like a candystore all the sudden. There are so many more affordable options now.
I got a Harley Benton rocketship board with gigbag, a shitty Powersupply and a few pedals to fill my board with and I’m having a blast!
Signal chain
- Tele
- Tuner
- Harley Benton fuzzy logic
- Harley Benton true grit overdrive
- EHX micro polyphonic octave generator
- TC mojomojo overdrive
- TC forcefield compressor
- Flamma FC03 Delay
- Fender Tre-verb
- Right channel, dry amp: mute pedal into vantage vg-15
- Left channel -> 12
- TC tailspin vibrato
- Tech21 British muffy.
- Fender Bassbreaker
I can do a good deal of sounds with this. I might have a little to much options in terms of drive but it’s a lot of fun.
I especially like the British muffy and the mojomojo…
Tell me about that English Muffy. It looks very interesting. You run it in to the front of your amp? Is it Gilmour in a pedal?
It is pretty rad! I don’t do the Gilmour thing myself, I don’t even own a strat right now. I think it was mostly intended as a gilmour machine though.
The big muff is pretty similar to how I remember my old American muff . I use it for pumping adjacent smearing.
The pedal itself has a crazy EQ. The knobs have a huge effect and can be used for to get to pretty extreme sounds. It has two channels with two different gain knobs each. To me the “character” knob sounds like pushing a power amp and the “gain” knob like a pretty tame guitar preamp.
I use one channel for a pretty clean mid-scooped sound with some added power amp drive. I use it like a reverse tubescreamer, adding some sparkle and bottom end but also adding a tiny bit of compression and harmonics.
I use the other channel for a pretty chunky tone that gets out of the way.
Both channels stack super well with just about anything else on my board.
I forgot to mention that I use it last in chain right before the amp. My amp is pretty clean with a small jump in the kids. I haven’t experimented much with its placement on the board. I guess I should try it before my reverb.
