I love it
Squeeze the full potential on this pedal using the stereo mode, is gorgeous, the hall, modulate is so good, the delay mode is very similate to a dd3 delay and the dynamic mode is just fun, and the shimmer is the best part if you want to create gorgeous ambient just put the tone in 0 and is a really mindblow, amazing piece of gear
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Shimmer mode with the tone in 0, beatiful landscape sound
Avg price: $182.10
The best delay in this type of model
Amazing build, a lot of effects, amazing sound, the stereo sounds incredible and you can adjust the delay repetition, but the secret settings it's a little complicated to learn how to use and the delay don't stop inmediatly, even you deactivate the trails, or maybe it's me that i need more experience with this pedal.
Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff Pi Reissue
Avg price: $91.21
This pedal is WILD!
Does what it has to do, wild untamed fuzz and if you use a compressor before the signal chain you can do wonders, amazing quality/price for the deal, the design is very simple but it's easy to get dirty so you have to constant clean it and in MY case the footswtich get broken after one year of use (i'm addicted to fuzz) so my personal subjetive experience was very complicated, but this pedal gives you what it promises, it can be a 4 of 5 start after you set up right with your type of amp.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
To get the 100% of tone use a compressor, it's worthy.
Avg price: $202.99
It does what she's made to do it
Walrus Julia It's an excellent boutique chorus, do it what it promises, amazing vibrato features, good quality, beatiful design, just be careful in what kind of pedalboard are you building, this version is mono.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
CHORUS MODE AND SWITCH MODE IN CHORUS TOO AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MIDDLE DO A BEATIFUL SOUND.
Avg price: $64.99
A must go to start in pedal world
What you can say about this pedal, easy to use, very intuitive, very easy learnig curve, the must go to start adding noise to your signal, work very well as a volume booster, in extreme you can make a very grunge, shoegaze, noise ambient, very useful pedal and with charasteristic everlating quality that boss offers, the only bad thing it have so much treble in it, so be careful with your tone knob.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Drive in the middle and tone very in the left almost middle it's my favorite setting.
Nice but with issues
Nice keyboard to start learning basic songs, very digital sound, have a lot of noise to deal and that can be annoying, very high in treble and can be very stressful, need a lot of work to make him working right and become usable making music.
Harmonizer & Octave Effects Pedals
Avg price: $158.99
Very good pitch pedal
Build in the classic and powerful boss design, this pedal offers a lot of variety of options to detune, pitch and "latch" your guitar tone, very dinamic to put in the beginning or final chain of your pedalboard, the problem is the learning curve is very high and it takes time to set up right, the quality of the knob it's not very good, i feel i can break it very easily so you must treated this knobs very kindly, you can put a exp pedal and it's stereo, i use this pedal for dreampop cumbia projects, have this very synth feel that it's a matter of taste, for myself this pedal gain his position in my pedalboard.
Avg price: $201.55
After many tries, this is my looper to go
I love the boss RC-5, it give you 100 memory presets, a lot of drum patterns to play, reverse mode, you can have more features with the footswtich and have very good quality live sessions, i use to play live with him and do wonders, nice quality the classic strong boss case it's just what i need.
Joyo JP-05 Power Bank Supply 5
Avg price: $55.60
This is THE power supply
Amazing construction, durable, rechargeable so you don't have to deal with the weird random noises of the venues, i can play like 4 hours and still the battery is full, battery have color indication, green for full, orange to medium and red be beware to connect the supply to charge, have one switch to connect 9v, 12v and 16v, i connect 12 pedal (with daysichain) and everything is doing fine, and even have a usb supply so i recommend this pedal 100%, and very accesible price so this is a must go! joyo do a home run with this supply.
Orange CBL38-PATCH Crush Patch Cables
Avg price: $19.99
Great patch cables
Great patch cables, durable my only thing it's they ocuppied so much space but the quality is very good, if you have a huge pedalboard this is the deal
