Pedals 🔗
A work in progress list of resources for the effect pedals I use in my pedalboard.
Some stats:
- 20 Jack SquarePlug SP400 Mono hand-soldered by me
- ~2m50 of patch cable
- ~4m of velcro tape
- ~5m of pre-made black electric cable
- ~1m50 of transparent electric cable hand-soldered by me to power the OC-3, BO100, Dark Mouse and Instant Lofi Junky in parallel from one 100mA output
The power supply is a Donner DP-2 I can't find a lot of references to it online but I'm quite happy with it: It is very quiet and just does the job.
Signal chain:
| Brand | Model | Description | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peterson | Strobostomp HD | Tuner and mute button | Peterson (mirror) |
| Boss | OC-3 | Octaver. Bass and low synth sounds | Roland (mirror) |
| Behringer | BO100 | Overdrive. "not a clone" of the Boss BD-2. Overall light overdrive to add some sustain and space. | Behringer (mirror) |
| Donner | Dark Mouse | Op. Amp distortion. Two modes from overdrive to heavy distortion | Donner (mirror) |
| ZVEX | Instant Lofi Junky | Vibrato+Compressor. Lofi vibe mixing vibrato, chorus-y sounds with a compressor. | ZVEX (mirror) |
| Boss | CH-1 | Chorus. I haven't found a good way to incorporate it to my sound yet but it's fun to use once in a while | Roland (mirror) |
| Electro-Harmonix | Canyon | Delay. A very complete delay pedal from classic delay, to tape and modulation delays. The shimmer mode give a nice wide reverb and the octave mode plays amazingly with the EQD Afterneath | EHX (mirror) |
| EarthQuaker Devices | Afterneath | A crazy reverb pedal. It's quite hard to describe but creates crazy ambient sounds which reverberate to the infinity. The user manual is worth a read, it approaches the pedal as a role playing game | EQD (mirror) |
| ToneCity | Tiny Spring | A discreet reverb. Always on to add some space to the sound | device.report (mirror) |
| Boss | RC-3 | Loop station with "start record on play", tap tempo and a drum machine | Roland (mirror) |
| Boss | RC-10r | Loop station with two parts loop and larger drums than the RC-3 | Owner's manual (mirror) / Parameter guide (mirror) |
