My Pedal Board Run-Through

[electrichadow]

Mood Pedal = background music for a SpongeBob SquarePants episode

[Asimo]

I like the dookie pedal but $400 god damn

[eeeejdjejsmcneksknddnjd]

That mood pedal sounds like the intro to spongebob

[orlanbro]

Nice! I basically have the same effects in my signal chain but I run my delay before the reverb.

[mattd]

I absolutely love the Dookie Drive!!!!

[rigorhead]

Nice setup! It's also very clean, no fuzz bunnies, dog hair, cigarette smoke, spilled beer, or whatever else funk gets on there from playing on gross stages. I'm sure it'll get there 😂

Delay before reverb… of course there are no rules that are set in stone, but this is a very good “rule of thumb”. The question is, do you want your delays to reverberate in the same space as the primary signal, or do you really want to have your reverb repeat itself based on your delay settings? I would offer that the former is much more natural sounding and pleasing to the ear, while the latter is much more apt to produce a chaotic, washed out sound. If that’s what you were going for, fair enough… the setting you have dialed in on that Mood pedal may be a clue, lol

I get it that you may not actually be using them ever at the same time, but if you aren’t you should… Delay into Reverb can sound pretty damn epic

Love the Rust Rod Fuzz, that's been a staple on my board for a while now

[haribalsac]

The dookie drive is really cool and it's very good!

The HOF2 is so versatile for its price. I have it and I LOVE it

Your TC tuner has a buffer built into it, which is great to put at the beginning of your chain. TC also sells stand alone buffer pedal you could put at the end of your chain ~$70. Most pro pedal rigs I've seen place Fuzz pedals before everything in the chain, even before buffers or compressors. You do you, but try it out and see if that improves things.

Having the MXR Analog Chorus with the EQ knobs straight up is EQing half of your chorus sound out. Those knobs are cut only so flat EQ is with the knobs clear to the right. Of course, if you're shooting for a subtle chorus sound, having the eq knobs at noon will help achieve that. Interestingly, the Timmy has the same style cut only EQ knobs. You've picked good pedals here.

I love your selections! I’ve been eyeing that Empress Compressor for a while, though I’m also really happy with my Keeley Compressor Pro. Both have a visual dB reducer meter (awesome), but I like the smaller form factor of the Empress.

[pabloherashio]

Your mood has a killer reverb and delay so yknow. I have the second gen mood and it’s super versatile. I can get some real fun classic sounds and the trippy lofi ambiance just by twisting a knob and flicking a switch. I Stan mood.

[phillramirez]

Very awesome board! I definitely want to get that compressor and the EQ from empress 😃 Nice strat also you keep rocking man 😎🎸👍

[EDGEGaming.]

yea i really like the hall of fame reverb the church setting mixed with the mash switch is really fun to play around with and really useful for ambient type music

[michaelinglis]

I have the empress compressor also (same model and color). And its my favorite compressor ever. I build most of my gear (guitars, pedals even my tube amps) but the Empress comp mkii is just so good i didn't feel like I could beat it. Its input and output pots got scratchy/dirty a couple years ago so i contacted the guys over at Empress and they offered to ship it to them in Canada at their cost and repair it then send it back. But id mentioned i build and repair amps and pedals so they also offered to send me the parts i needed to fix it myself so i wouldnt be without it for so long. I was shocked, no company ever lets you fix your own device much less you the parts for free to fix it yourself lol. So I took them up on that offer and a week later the pots arrived and i replaced them and looking at the pcb youd never be able to tell components were replaced. Empress also sent me a new mix pot even though i only told them the input and output were scratchy and a year later the mix pot just so happened to get a little scratchy also so i was able to replace it too. I should mention the pots getting scratchy wasnt Empresses fault at all abd wasnt a quality issue. It really just says more about how much i use them and how much dirt and dust is in the areas i practice/jam in lol. Anyways i love that compressor. I also built a diamond comp clone which is fantastic for that compression as an effect sound but the Empress MKII is still my absolute favorite compressor for sweetening up my tone without getting in the way. I also use the MXR M234 (which i true bypassed cause the m234 buffer dulled my tone whenever it was in my signal chain) and my main reverb is a Chasm Reverb that I built with a Belton Brick (long decay) bit i also have a Hall of Fame (original) that still gets a lot of use especially when im playing through the Fender Champ style amp i built (Fender Champ but with SS rectification, a 6V6 output tube or an EL84 that can be selected with a switch, mid boost push pull on the bass pot, bright cap push pull on the treble pot, Negitive Feedback defeat switch, and high/low input push pull on the volume pot). I also use the same boss looper as you lol. But i use a two button footswitch with it i made to trigger start/stop with one click and to scroll up abd down through my saved loops.

[Handleneedsormorecharacters.]

That’s a beautiful colour on that strat

If you don't want to spend an arm and a leg on the Dookie Drive, the MXR FOD pedal is the exact same circuit except there is a 3 way toggle for mid boost, mid cut, and flat.
