Post your latest pedal

[admiralchew]

Yesterday was an exciting one: a pedal I've been waiting for for a couple of years arrived. The backstory is a bit convoluted but I ended up with a 3 Leaf Audio Chromatron that was a little battered and losing its graphics. I reached out to Zac Sweeney at Malaise Forever and asked if he would be willing to finish it however he liked because I love his designs. That was in May 2023. A lot has happened with Malaise Forever shutting down and then reopening in a different form; there were times I wasn't sure I would see the pedal again so it made opening the box yesterday very sweet. I've posted some photos of the finished article below (and, as a bonus, I now have a box for the pedal!).

It's been a big week or so for pedals here. Damnation Audio's Big to be more precise. Made in conjunction with Pet Symmetry, it's modelled after the Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard (a brilliant fuzz) and a boost pedal. Like everything of Damnation Audio's I've tried (MBD2, MBD3, Dirtfixer, Spite Box) it works rather well and actually makes me excited to play with a pick. Big-foot-esque blurry photo below.

Funky Puppy from @Higgie. Basically an accurate clone of the Chunk Systems Brown Dog and Agent 00Funk in one box.

I've been on a quest for a chorus for some time. I moved from stand lone to a multi for modulation, but regretted it. I've been through a lot of chorus pedal over the years and just had an urge to try something different - something that doesnt go with my usual needs. This video convinced me:
 

 

I've been playing with it for a few hours and it's insanely musical. On both bass and synth (I have a Moog Sub 25) it's honestly stunning.

musical is good for a pedal, I picked up an Anadime chorus and had it at the same time as the Tech21 bass boost chorus - the Tech21 could do more - the Anadime just was more musical - good effects don't sound like effects - just glued on change in tone

The Anadime was the next choice - in fact it was the first choice and I'd been hunting for one for a while, but one never showed up, then this got me excited. I'd used an Anadime before at a bass bash and thought it was very pretty sounding.

I tend to use chorus more for that tool-like swirling vibe than the classic 80's use (with bass at least) and this seems to nail it perfectly. It seemingly adds a layer that just makes everything sound awesome. Excited to experiment with it over the next week or so.

Likes a Phaser, started back in the 80's with an Amdek Boss-a-like Kit

Likes a Joyo, have the 3 Knob Ironman Nebulous Phaser, (and the Rowin Nano)

But this takes a battery... and was cheap!

Not a fan of the Vintage Phase decal so scraped it off.

Nice Single Knob Phaser, prefer Slow and Shallow these are not that overbearing on the depth.

Just got this today and already gave it a spin.  Sounds great and is different enough from my Octbvre and T47.

 

The sound options are great and a lot to explore and as Taylor suggests to pair it with a filter (preferrably Xerograph) and that is so true.  I have read a lot about these and early ones had a bleed from the synth voices but this one is really quiet.  Really looking forward to see what I can do with it.

Looks nice, hope sounds nice too. Happy You !!!

After several months of waiting, the Iron Ether Subterranea has finally arrived. Described by Taylor at Iron Ether as a, ‘multi-timbral analog synthesizer and octave pedal’ it acts as an oscillator section for a great analogue synth setup when paired with an envelope filter. 
 

These were discontinued a few years ago but recently brought back for a limited production run.
 

Hopefully they’ll be added back to the regular production line. 
 

It’s a great analogue synth pedal.

Sounds amazing. I was really happy with my low gain overdrive needs... then I heard this. Game changer for me.

so spent a lot of time with this pedal the last 6 weeks 

used it with 7 different basses and it's interesting

the chorus is good but not great 

I was surprised by how much I like the reverb ( reverb seems counterintuitive for bass) 

the para eq is very good , the business, very well thought through 

thanks to @Hellzero to have a go at it 

they should have called it something other than the Fretless  maybe 

 

I see these are pricy but worth a go if you can try before buy

FKT also make an Octaver Pedal which looks mean

The Horrorthia pedal design is pretty awesome. The arcade switch for

on-off is a nice touch (feels super solid, doesn’t worry me that it’s not a metal switch), and they are gorgeous. 
 

I own two pedals from him and both are top notch. 
 

I’m really interested by his fuzz pedal, but I’m also super happy with my fuzz options. I mean, I guess I was happy with my low gain options, but I really have no desire to change fuzz.

 

For now
