Sibob Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I dunno, I spent some time with the Squeezer because my mate couldn't get what he wanted from it. I found it pretty infuriating, really un-intuitive back-page. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Pretty much everything from WMD, I had the smaller bit crushing pedal once cost a fortune!!! Also the two BB preamps I know have would.have cost £180 new, and I consider anything above £150 to be to expensive to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1349097497' post='1821702'] I've had a Boss Slow Gear previously, to be honest, not overly great. The effect has been bettered since, so if you have a Behringer/Guyatone/Multi-FX equivalent, then thats as good as you'll get. Cool black pedal though . [/quote] I've seen one original in Strung Out Guitars in Glasgow on sale for about £220.00! Given that the BYOC recommends some internal tweaking which I doubt is available on the original, no thanks. I used to have GAS for a Zvex Fuzz Factory but since the screen print version brought the prices down from around £300.00 to half that or less 2nd hand, it's gone. Weird. I'd still love to try the Boss CE-1 and A/DA which are already on the list but the only one I'd add would be an original Roland Space Echo.

Damonjames Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 For me it would be the akai deep impact, human gear animato, ehx civil war big muff and green russian big muff. I wish akai would do a re run of the deep impact. To be paying €600 odd for a pedal that wAs worth £100 odd new is just ridiculous. Same goes for the big muffs, they are awesome pedals, but I would never rely on them for a gig! My Black Russian is very temperamental...

The band I just got sacked from thought they were the greatest if all time... They are a good band, and Chris get some amazing tones but its not really my go. Just have a love of serious fuzz, and also a good synth but not necessarily together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoirBass Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just wanted to resurrect this to see if any opinions had changed or additions could be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've got 2 of the pedals on the list, the Moog LPF & Bass Murf. But my rarest pedal is my cheapest (probably why it is rare) & that's a PSK SDS-2 distortion. Given to me by a chap who couldn't use it on his acoustic guitar back in the 80s, it's quite a high gain, but keep the gain down & put it on a split signal & it helps make a good synth sound (in combination with the Moogs, octaver & chorus).

Marsy Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just the BJFE blueberry for me.. I was adamant to find one last year, until I stumbled across the Providence - Vandal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I would say the sansamp para driver has become pretty rare. But one that I keep on the lookout for although not an effect pedal is the Pearce BC1 preamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't think you'll ever find a Pearce BC1 any more, even Billy Sheehan can't get hold of them (He's only got 2 left). That said, would love to try one as well. I know its not rare but would also like to try the POG2. Had the Trace Elliot SM7 years ago, never seen another one of them for sale since. prob didn't get enough for it.

Skybone Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Never tried a Zeke myself, but I managed to snag one for a friend of mine, who went on to produce a mahoosive sound from it. Had quite a few D*A*M pedals over the years, brilliant bits of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
