Orange PPC 441 CabJuly 9, 2010 at 3:12 am #110072bill ruppertParticipantHands down my favorite OD pedal.
I have used it on countless sessions and after countless years of playing I can say that pedal rocks.
it sound just like a classic Brit tube amp turned up.
I use it into a totally clean amp sim and it records like a DREAMKeep the treble at 9 o’clock as well as bass.
Thats the trick.
Mids between 12 and 2 o’clock.Great Fratellis Chelsea Dagger Jumpstyle sound.
BillJuly 9, 2010 at 3:20 am #110073BoyOnAStringParticipantThanks for the tip Bill!
I just ordered one. Like 30 seconds ago. Looking forward to getting it.
I’ll keep those tips in mind.
I’ll probably use it in the Orange. UK Amplification meets US UK Overdrive…got to be a winner!
July 9, 2010 at 3:40 am #110074bill ruppertParticipantCool i hope you dig it.
Set the amp clean and watch top and bottom controls and enjoy!
Great box. I don’t go to a session with out it. I used it on 4 spots today!!!

July 9, 2010 at 4:13 am #110075BoyOnAStringParticipantI can’t wait. Heaps keen for it.
What do you think of the Wiggler? Compared to, say, the Pulsar?
I’m thinking I want a tremolo and the Wiggler looks pretty good. Sounds HEAPS warm in the demo video.
What other “essential” pedals do you never go without? The Stereo Memory Man with Hazari seems to be a fairly staple pedal in the forum diet.
Also, what are your thoughts on the Deluxe Memory Boy? Particularly, can you get it to overload and get those funky distorted delays like the Deluxe Memory Man?
I love picking up tips from pros about their effect set ups. I was watching Fretted Americana and decided to get a Bad Monkey because Phil X uses one, and was not disappointed. And I got mine for $69!
I like to keep and open mind and ask a lot of questions. Most of my most TREASURED pedals are ones that I bought because someone else had them.July 9, 2010 at 7:03 am #110076BrianzeroParticipantI am a proud wiggler owner and I must say the range of vibrato and tremolo effects are awesome. Yes very warm sounding and you really can get those Hendrix univibe sounds too. Its a wonderful pedal and I recommend it highly.
July 11, 2010 at 10:23 pm #110142BoyOnAStringParticipantThanks for the vote of confidence Brianzero.
You’ve sold me on the Wiggler also. I dare say, it will be the next pedal I purchase…
Do you use it for recording or just live? How do you find trying to sync it up with a tempo for recording?

I haven’t used it yet in recording but I use it live all the time. The syncing up you have to use your ear there is no other way. Just take a little time with it and you will soon familiarize yourself with the settings. The valves give it a really warm sound, very very nice.

I guess that makes sense. Most tremolo pedals are like that I suppose. I wish someone would invent a tremolo/vibrato pedal that you would either sync up with tap tempo or like the Boss DD20 you could input the BPM and the note duration you wanted. I guess I will live in hope.
July 13, 2010 at 12:03 am #110169Mr.GrimMemberElectrix Mo-FX is a rack unit that has delay, vibrato, flange and a light OD. there all seperated like they were individual pedals.
you can get a footswitch for it, and it has midi! the best part…..you can tap in tempos for all the effects and sync them all together!!
its an awsome sounding unit, but they dont make them anymore, but you can get them on ebay for $75-$200
i actualy scored a mint one about a month ago for $20! then sold it for $200

FTW! Although I’m not a big fan of rack gear. I prefer stomp boxes myself, but it guess beggars can’t be choosers.
Thanks for the heads up, I’m going to ebay it now…although being Australian these things are probably rarer than in the States.
July 13, 2010 at 2:22 am #110171Mr.GrimMemberim not a fan of rack gear ether, but this was nice!
July 13, 2010 at 3:33 am #110173Mr.GrimMembero and a nother sweet funtion i forgot to mention is that every effect has a button that will make each one only effect the high mid or low frequency of the signal! and you can choose just one or two of the three frequencies to effect at a time! for example if your playing a rythm of chords mostly low notes, but if you choose it to effect the high frequencies for the trem, when you do strum it, the high strings will trail off in a tremolo throb, while the low notes remain normal!
i think the trem was my favorite part of the rack unit, its very versitile, and you can set it to sound like a kill switch and have your chords cut n and off very dramaticly! like the chopper pedal from gig-fx

THAT
SOUNDS
AWESOME!I’m going to keep my eye on eBay to see if any of these come up.
Ideally, I really only want a tremolo pedal that syncs to a BPM with different note divisions. That way I can plug in, say 150bpm AND 16th notes and be perfectly in time with my click track when recording.
July 14, 2010 at 9:51 pm #110222AshjaahsMuffParticipantyh its an awesome piece of equipment, i can get everything from clean warm tube, right through to cranked ac dc tones and everything else, its amazing !!!!
