Other players hard work. I just try to copy them.

I love my DOD FX62. one the the few (I've not seen any other in fact...) chorus pedals with a delay time control. It adds a whole host of extra flexibility in chorus sounds. Much more useful than a tone control or, dare I say, a mix control.

Thanks for that. It sounded convincing because he is right, they look like good supplies, properly isolated at each output.

Have you got a link to the video? I have some cheap PSUs too, Mooer and Vitoos, they seem to work fine.

I have one of these, works great. The switchable two 8/12/18v outputs are very handy. I also have the HB Powerplant and Powerplant Junior, both very good.

That'll be the M117R, good enough for Steve Severin*, so more than good enough for me. *and plenty of other people like John McGeoch, EVH etc.

The only thing I'm really looking at at the moment is a Keeley Seafoam Plus. I'm interested in seeing how much difference I can hear with the ADT mode vs regular chorus..

I was looking at my pedal collection a while back and wondering if I could make up some useful boards out of just one colour of pedals. I might give it a try one day for a laugh.

It the same way the Strymon Deco does through zero flanging.

My TC Hypergravity remembers it's on/off state after power down. I've not pulled it apart yet (shocker for me, I'm usually right inside a new pedal checking the guts out) so not sure if the soft touch switch is still mechanical or if they use other wizardry to achieve it.

I have the Mosky XP boost on my guitar board, it's a cracking pedal for the price. I can't see any point in paying any more for anything else when this is such a simple "effect".

Or go for the TC Hypergravity, it's a Spectracomp and more. The 4 knobs give more adjustabilty and there is a toggle switch for "spectracomp", the chosen Toneprint and "Classic" modes. It only cost me £2 more than a Spectracomp when the latter was out of stock.

Mmm nice early string thru body.

There's definitely a difference in my pair's EQ circuits. The '89 is a fair bit brighter, especially when you crank the treble right up. The '79 is more the "classic" Ray tone.

This is my '89. And neck of my '78...

If you pop the neck off, the date for the body and neck will be stamped on each item, in the pocket and on the heel.

Huraah for Brexit!! UPS returned a whole container of orders made over the Christmas period to Thomann on Thursday. They are reprocessing orders net of VAT so it can be charged locally. No doubt will also now get stung on import duties too.

My oldest pedals are an Arion Chorus and Aria Flanger, both plastic and pushing 35yrs old now. I wonder what people do to them to break them. that is, if they really have, or perhaps they are just repeating myths because ThEy ReAd It On ThE iNtErNeT.

We have Ped to thank for that one 😛

So, my old man said follow the van and don't dilly dally on the way. Off went the cart with the home packed in it I walked behind with me old pink torpedo linnet And I dillied, I dallied and I dallied and I dillied I lost the van and don't know where to roam The PJ-74 VW was showing as available in 14-18 weeks so I dillied and dallied... and I lost the bass! It's now not showing on the site at all. My only alternative for a PJ from HB is the PJ-4 HTR, but does my desire for a PJ override the fact it's red.

My finger is hovering over the Buy button for a PJ-74 VW. I've spent the best part of 15 years "refurbishing" (read leaving in a box in the spare room) my original Cort PJ bass, so I've decided it would be easier just to buy a new PJ and get playing. Not the cheapest in their range, but boy does it look nice to me. Also sounds pretty tasty and I have SD 1/4lber P pickup and Fender J pickup I can put in if I fancy.

Having come across some of her posts and circuits on the stompbox forums, she certainly came across as the untrained hack. From seeing some of her circuits, she was just "bolting" together various blocks she had found elsewhere without understanding basics like what input and output caps are for, resulting in having two series caps in the middle of one of her "designs". Also seemed quite clueless on component values. However that lack of knowledge is probably what gave the special horribleness to her pedals that people like.

Well, it' what he used to get his sound, hence why I bought it (that and John McGeoch using one). Sorry! He said his was the older mains powered one, but I guess it's the same flanger circuitry on my later battery one.

I think my favourite is my MXR117, really gets the Steve Severin tone. My Aria one also works well as does the Arion (use different feedback so sounds more "vocal" than a normal flanger). Haven't tried the BF-2 or e-Lady on bass. Yes, I do have a few flangers My flangers/chorus usually go after drive pedals and before delay, seems to work well like that. As far as offering anything more, the few flangers I've used in multi-fx tend to less controls to twiddle, they don't tend to have a "manual" knob or feedback. I'm sure there will be some multi-fx that do offer more than just Rate/Depth controls, I've just not had that much exposure to them.
