2. bmptwApril 20, 2010 at 7:34 pm #95571fantomenosMemberI’m not sure I can rank these in any well-ordered fashion, but here’s an attempt:
1. Pedals that immediately got put on my live board and haven’t left:
a) Micro-Pog, does exactly what I want it to, compatible with standard power supply.
b) Stereo Clone Theory, too noisy for recording applications, but live it’s great, if you want the Peter Hook sound, use the Peter Hook pedal. I essentially leave it on the entire time.
c) Nano Small Stone, my newest acquisition, after my Bluebeard Fuzz and set for very low speed, it has exactly the doomy/stony sound I wanted.
2. Pedals I often use live:
a) Metal Muff, only usable for my side project, but really shines there.
b) LPB2-ube, I use as a pre-amp for my Sunn Concert Slave. After I got the noise issue sorted out (tighten the screw between the tubes), it’s a great way to get some portable tube grind without hauling any of my big amps around.
c) LPB1 I’ve used live to push my Acoustic B200H, for some reason I like the sound of the LPB better than cranking up the gain on the amp, and it seems to keep it from clipping quite so much (I may be fooling myself here).
d) Nano Bass-Balls, again, only for the side project. Not the most flexible pedal, but the one thing it does, it does real well. Blend in some sub-octave from the Micro-Pog, and you can really get peoples attention.
3. Pedals I love to mess around with at home:
a) Flanger Hoax, I can’t imagine how anyone would use this live, but at home I can get lost in it pretty easily.
b) Nano-Muff, pretty unusable on bass, so no live applications. It has an okay sound, I like how touch-responsive it is, but I’m more likely to drag out a tube-screamer when I feel like messing with guitar overdrive.
April 20, 2010 at 7:41 pm #94933The Ghost of Sim TutMemberI went through a lot of EHX in the last year, now I’m down to my faves:
1. Q-Tron+
2. Hazarai
and 3., my awesome new Ring Thing, which has way better pitch shifting that the microPog and more useable ring mod than the Freq Analyzer. Too bad my account was deleted and all my posts with it, it would have been nice to have the evolution documented here. C’est la vie.May 28, 2010 at 7:35 am #103555efe_gallagherMember1- Little Big Muff (Blended with my clean bass signal it’s so effing SYNTHesque!!)
2- Stereo Electric Mistress (My to-go Chorus/Flange)
3- Stereo Pulsar (Would somebody add STEREO IN‘s on all of the Stereo XO pedals, please?)
4- LPB 1 (That slight treble boost you get is really good after AND before dirt)May 28, 2010 at 7:44 pm #105121friedjesseradioMember1. stereo electric mistress
2. bmptwreally easy to decide

2880
Small Stone (v1) – amazing on guitar and vocalsFour Stars:
Big Muff Pi (NYC/Modern)
Small Clone (Russian)Three Stars:
#1Echo – not really impressed by this. I’m kind of a delay aficionado though so whatever.One Star:
2880 Footswitch. I really don’t bother with this, other than to make the initial loop- everything else I end up reaching down to the actual 2880. I’ve detailed my thoughts on this one in the various 2880 threads At least it can use a standard guitar cable…June 18, 2010 at 10:21 pm #109594SommyMemberLet’s see…
first-run Holy Grail (big box/chicken-head knob; sold a year ago)

June 22, 2010 at 11:15 pm #109740andvari7ParticipantQuote:I have never purchased an EHX pedal that didn’t make me want to buy another, but here goes nothing:Q-Tron (the big box)
Stereo Polychorus
Bass Micro Synth (the big box)
Big Muff (black Russian)
Deluxe Electric Mistress
Small Stone (black Russian)
Bassballs (black Russian)
LPB-1 (Nano)I’m going to add a HOG.
Wow, eighteen months really changes a man. I now have some different ideas as to what is cool:
1. Q-Tron (it’s better than yours)
2. Big Muff (green Sovtek)
3. BMS
4. DEM
5. Stereo Polychorus
6. Small Stone (the same one as before, except that I no longer have it)
7. Stereo Clone Theory (which was traded for a vintage Roland Jazz Chorus amp, so I’m the winner)
8. Small Clone (modded, and not in an ideal way)
9. Big Muff (which was sold to a TalkBass denizen, modded to Civil War spec, and flipped again)
10. Big Muff (a duplicate of 9, which went towards a rather good-quality, if a bit boring, Fulltone Clyde Deluxe)
11. Bassballs (same as it ever was)
12. LPB-1 (once I figured out why my signal was weak, I had no more need for it, and it went towards my ring modulator, at the most expensive damn guitar shop I’ve ever encountered)July 9, 2010 at 12:14 am #110068ZippsterMemberCurrent:
80 Electric Mistress (green computer-like circuit board with no trim pots. Much less hiss than the
70s one I had. Sounds like a hi-band flanger)
70s Zipper (very warm resonant filter. Throaty, not quacky. Has an orange LED which I’m not sure is
stock or not)
79 Microsynth (trigger is a bit finicky on mine but many awesome sounds to be found)
75 Octave Multiplexer (currently broken )
84 Big Muff (smooth warm muffy tones from the last year of the original EHX)Past:
Holiest Grail (everything’s tweakable and 8 presets. Easy to overload with HBs though)
70s Hot Tubes (Gritty low gain OD. Massive boost potential.)
70s Ver 5 IC Big Muff (huge sounding, particularly with the tone switched out)
Flanger Hoax (brilliant thru-zero flanger. A bit too hissy though)
76 V1 Small Stone (very buttery unobtrusive phase. Lots of tone suck and volume drop though)
70s Electric Mistress (Cream hand-drawn circuit board with 2 blue trimpots. Incredibly noisy and lots
of volume drop. A old curiosity only)July 15, 2010 at 4:53 am #110234exodia333MemberWell I’ve only owned 4 EHX pedals
1.1970’s Electric Mistress (broke and i hope it gets repaired one day :love: )
2.Small Clone (reissue sadly)
3.Cathedral
4.1970’s Small Stone -
