New band starting on Sunday. I've been building a board with the specific set in mind.

I use mine as an always on pedal. It breaks up my sound just enough without losing the essential character of the bass.

DFX raises ire in the breasts of some people, much as Behringer used to. I won't join that debate; suffice it to say, I am not a lost customer, won over by cheap copies. I'm simply not in the income bracket to try Darkglass pedals. This little beauty is quite simply the best eq pedal I've ever used. And I've tried a few. One of my favourite amps has a control called 'Shape' and it provided quite a remarkable range of tonal sculpting. The 'Character ' on this is very similar. It transforms any bass, any way you want it. The mid range parametric covers everything you want in that crucial area, and boy do the bass and treble make a big difference: a little goes a long way. If you can afford the original by all means buy it. If not Affordaboard has these at a very reasonable price.

It's great.

Scylla has elbowed it's way in as my favourite compressor!

Bought one of these just because it was so cheap really. My excuse was the more expensive supplies I own are either too fat or don't have enough outlets. Truth is I have always wanted to try one of these and a guy on YouTube did a great couple of videos explaining how the power is cleaned up on them. I didn't understand the technical side of his explanation but it sounded pretty convincing. And it was really cheap. So is it any good? Yep. Totally silent. And really slim. Only downside is the flimsy little cable running from a wall wart.

I have bought many of them but the one which so perfectly scratched my itch is the Boss BF-3

Double bubble for me because I had it with a flanger recently too!

I've always had a chorus sound in my head which is never quite matched by my pedals. Every time I think I'm there I'm left with nagging doubts. The ones I've liked seem lovely and gooey on their own but too thick and indistinct in a mix. The others are thin and too light to do what I want. Untill now! I took a punt on a £35 Demon FX copy of the Analogman mini chorus. I can't tell you if it's remotely similar because I don't have the cash to splash on the original. What I can tell you is it's the first time I've had a chorus where I've needed to reduce the depth. Even dialled back the sound was still gorgeously rich, and yet each note was beautifully clear. Will I stop trying different pedals? Probably not. Will this be hard to prise off the board? Absolutely.

Oh it's very nice. Took no time to dial in what I wanted. Metal chassis, looks and feels well made.

It is a bit of a steal. It's a lovely chorus too.

Demon FX auto wah and chorus.

Been dying painfully this week from some awful lurgy. So tomorrow night's board is ready ahead of time. It's as basic as can be for me - the phaser covering both its own and flanger duties too. No 'wild card' crazy pedals, just the ones I know. Two new signings (chorus and auto wah) getting their first team debuts.

Packaging excellent. Pedals excellent. Everything exactly as advertised. Recommended.

I can tell you're all agog with excitement to know if this company is legit, and so here's an update. The pedals have just arrived. That's pretty good for a free post response to a weekend order. More updates when we have them. Stay tuned.

I've ordered a couple of pedals from them just to see if they are reliable. Free postage and nice prices (if you don't object to clones) too good to be true? We shall see. https://www.affordaboard-pedals.co.uk/

A light distortion first will bring that lacklustre phaser to life!

Yep. It's nice to know we're not alone.

Yeah. I'm in a flangey place atm. The Boss is the one gets me where I want to be. Does that thing I hear in my head when I think of a flanger. However the JHS is an interesting one. I get more if a light phaser sound out of it. Probably best suited to a g****r really but very useable

Tonight's creation...

Ok so ... anyone here from Yeovil teach?
