into crate vintage club 20, or fishman loudbox (acoustic), or fender devillethe pedal board is just a shelf I took from my closet, a strip of velcro, with two screen door handles, and two door stops stuck to the bottom to angle it.
eniacmikeMembertry the lpb-1 if you have a tube amp. You might be surprised and save yourself a ton of money!
other than that I really like the ocd from fulltone.
eniacmikeMemberI have the nano soul preacher. I love it for clean sounds, finger picking, flat picking, etc. It sounds really good doing some wilco type stuff with chords and little country twang fills in between. Most of the time I run both knobs at noon and keep the attack time on fast. You can boost the volume up if you want to send the amp into a little overdrive, very sweet sounding.
This sounds really good on my acoustic too. I do alot of high capo stuff on the 5th-7th fret and play open chords kind of like a fake mandolin, and the sustain and “sweetened” tone sounds great for that kind of stuff.
It does color the tone a little bit I would say it is brighter than any regular clean boost like the lpb1.
This pedal is noisy, and I was worried about it, but I was watching eric johnson go through his rig and when he hits his compressor (i think it’s an older mxr dynacomp) I heard the same kind of noise that I get with the soul preacher. I did adjust the trim on the inside and it seems to help the noise though. Just don’t stop playing! or you could run a gate or something before it. The noise does stop if you turn down your guitar, so it isn’t really the pedal making noise on it’s own.
eniacmikeMemberThis is my favorite pedal that I own. It is actually inspiring just to play with the stereo pulsar turned on. I like doing ccr type riffs with it, some pixies type stuff, pretty chords. Everything just sounds good with the tremolo. I love just using the neck pickup with the tone turned down or middle, and playing organ type chords. It’s really cool to do swell type sounds with it as well.
It is also really fun to make noise with tons of distortion and tweaking the knobs in the higher speeds.
The only thing I don’t really like is the “sweet spot” of usable speeds is pretty small. Most of the time I need a tempo that is between 9-11 o’clock everything outside of that I only really get to when I’m making noise. That being said the knobs on the EH gear is really nice and offers a smooth resistance so it’s easier to find your perfect spot.
I have yet to hook it up stereo and I don’t know when I will do that, I don’t really have access to two similar amps.
I got this pedal when I exchanged a nano muff, it was the “floor demo model”, and the last one they had in stock so I got it for the same prices as the nano muff! I would gladly pay full price for this pedal though if something happened to it.
