New Pedal Search

the_great_lemon · December 12, 2011, 09:13:59 PM

Hey guys, got the new wah the middle of last week, and so far sounds pretty spot on to what i was hoping for and enough options to keep me busy for a while

A sweet top end, a smooth (after some tweaking on the trim pots) mid-range, and plenty of bottom end for some low pass filter effects. Btw walker, how do you have your pedal set up? Mine could use a little more tweaking, and after hearing the recording of your show, seems like you've figured out a damn cool setting. Cheers

All the gear is down at my jam spot right now. I'll try to remember to check when I'm back down there. I know I've messed around with a ton of settings on there, and probably will continue to do so.

i'm actually lookin to get another pedal as well....the guy I play in a band with has a boss RT-20 and i friggin love the thing. I love that spacey, feedbacky sound it gives off....almost like a phaser. Anyone have any suggestions of a pedal that is similar to this one (giving that kinda spacey, reverby, feedbacky feel to it) but not a twin pedal? i'm lookin for somethin a little more compact and perhaps less expensive. Earlier I was lookin into the phase 90, so I may give that a shot...Any suggestions would be great!

You may want to look into the analogman phase 45 w/ univibe mod, or any univibe clone at that. The original univibe was designed to simulate a rotating speaker (just like the rt-20), but ended up creating a new chewier texture that is more like a phaser. Any robin trower or later hendrix will give you an idea of the univibe sound. Btw, welcome!

I saw a demo of it on tgp... It sounds frickin' incredible. Almost makes me think about getting rid of my dejavibe2 and rotosphere, but then I saw the price, and even though I can sell my 2 pedals for more than it, I want to be done buying gear for now.

Hey guys, just made a big jump in my persuit...yesterday I ordered a couple cables from AO, and solderedsound.com cables to replace the GC brand cheapo ones I've been using for waaaay too long. I was also able to get a couple extra hundo dollars for a Marshall Half-stack I won in a contest a while back. All in all, a good day! I'll post some pics and give a review of the new cables when they arrive...

I'm selling my OCD tomorrow so its pedal search time again! I might just stick with one TS9 for now and get a mod effect. The Wilson Haze Vibe looks pretty nice especially for under $150 used

I just picked up a TC Hall of Fame Reverb pedal because my Carol Ann amp doesn't have onboard reverb. It's a pretty sweet pedal!

webephishin · February 21, 2012, 08:38:05 PM

anyone know of any pedals that kind of simulate a leslie speaker rotary sound and a smaller price? I'm thinkin the closest I could get to that spacey/hollow kind of sound that fits my budget would be something along the lines of a MXR Phase 90...my friend played with that but traded it in for an EH micro Qtron and it sounded so good

MomaDan · February 21, 2012, 09:38:55 PM

The only cheaper actual leslie I know of is the Boss RT-20. Then theres the way more expensive options like the Ventilator or Strymon Lex. Certain chorus pedals will probably get you a lot closer on a budget. Someone else might be able to shed some more light on the subject.

the_great_lemon · February 21, 2012, 09:43:27 PM

Moma is right about that^ not many actually leslie clones out there but a phaser or univibe clone will get you close on a budget.

The Phase 45 might get you closer than the 90 I would think. Less midrange boost in the 45 from the demos I've heard, but if you liked the 90 your friend had, go for it!

MomaDan · February 21, 2012, 11:22:32 PM

Hey lemon what do you think of the SHOD? They seem to have a lot of hype right now

The Voce Spin II does a very nice job at mimiking a Leslie. Not cheap at $400-$450 if I recall, but it's a sweet little stompbox that's a little bigger than a Whammy footprint.
