[quote name='face19820' timestamp='1390579530' post='2347200'] Have you tried the Rat King yet? Please tell me it's incredible! [/quote] I've just been playing mine on a crappy Peavey combo but it sounds incredible, I'll be at practise with my proper rig tomorrow, so I'll let you know exactly how it sounds, so far, the second distortion setting is exactly what I need!

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1390577772' post='2347157'] For me its a rat and at least one delay pedal [/quote] Any preference on what delay?

His sound is truly incredible, it's just the Chuck Dukowski sound on steroids

What are in your opinion, pedalboard essentials? I'm expecting a lot of fuzz/distortions but I'm interested to see what people say in terms of octave/chorus/delay/what have you! Feel free to mention brands and tuners aren't necessary to mention, they're a must!

As a ritual, burn your ODB-3 and dance around the fire holding your Rat King above your head

Also, order from Joes Pedals, no custom jobs with it, but my god, the delivery time, it arrived at my house in Ireland in less then 24 hours, unreal!

My Rat King just arrived! The latching was a great option! My sleeping girlfriend however, is not a fan of the feedback looper....so all the better!

Price: One human kidney, a soul and few quid (disclosed)

I use a Fuzzrocious Rat Tail, in my opinion, I don't think you could get better/more versatile bass distortions/OD's/fuzzes then theirs!

They just seem like such an expensive effect to buy for just using maybe 2/3 times in a set!

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1390323482' post='2344069'] I have sometimes used analog delays for noise at gigs, bit cliche but can sound cool. For more musical use of delay, I like doing stuff like this: [url="https://soundcloud.com/gazthefink/von-bartha-flotsam-jetsum"]https://soundcloud.c...-flotsam-jetsum[/url] The track above was done with a DD-3, but I recently got a Catalinbread Echorec, and I'm starting to come up with lots of similar style ideas, but there's a LOT more scope in the Echorec to do this sort of thing [/quote] That sounds great dude! I just turn into a complete moron when I have a delay in my hands, I used to have an RV-3 a few moons ago and I just couldn't for the life of me think of times to use it

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1390322847' post='2344057'] Not something I would want to do unless a specific need arose e.g. Pink Floyd tribute band. [/quote] Yeah that's my feeling, I use a reverb to make some big atmosphere, but that's a rare occasion, I find that reverb is really not favoured on bass and delay is preferred, I just wanna know why ya know!

I'm just interested in people use of delays and where you use them? Every time I get one I just can't find a use for it in anyway, it just seems to get muddy but I see delays on a lot of people's boards? I'm just looking at how people use them in a band setting?

From the manufacturer's directly, I've e-mailed seeing about a tracking code if there is one!

Hey guys I've ordered a pedal from America and I am incredibly impatient, I ordered it 9 days ago and I'm just wondering when I should expect it? Also, it was $227, should I be expected to pay import tax, some people say no, some people say yes, any ideas?

My Orange SP212 is perfect, sounds amazing and deep, takes up little space, only bad thing is the price tag

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1389366486' post='2333429'] FY-2 I think? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5hk_nIu1Dk[/media] [/quote] What I would give to see Radiohead...

Never heard of these Bear Claw guys, this is amazing!

Talented bunch of guys! With some great songs, just sometimes it gets a bit samey!

And one more, I find this band a bit hit or miss, but Nick Beard's tone is punishingly punchy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9UkfZ58LmY
