I’m excited to hear the new EHX stuff.
The Bi-Filter, though it isn’t a pedal, is the biggest GAS I have now. After that, the usual suspects, like the rare vintage pieces.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:an MXR dist+ (vintage) this is on the way.I was hoping to get that out to you yesterday, but my wife had other plans for us. Sorry about that. Hopefully tomorrow.
I tested it out – works great. Sort of reminds me of the Muff Fuzz.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorI’m the most excited about these. I’m wondering, though, if it’s the same thing as having a Bassballs in the effects loop of a Q-Tron+. I already have that combo, and it sounds incredible.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorThere’s always this option too, and it doesn’t de-value the pedal:

That’s not to say that the new POG2 won’t sound amazing; but I’m sure those of us who have grown with the HOG or the original POG will continue to love the unique character and tone of those pedals, no matter how many times the circuit is updated.

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6747245Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:I spend a lot of time playing with pedal order. I have a general rule I setup by, but there are always exceptions to the rules, and those exceptions generally produce the most interesting results.Compressors are tricky, because they also sound good at the start of the chain to help the tracking of the Pitch Shifters and the Filters. But I like how they smooth out the peaks in filter effects or deep modulation. They help with issues of overloading in The Worm, The Flanger Hoax, and the DMM. They also help with volume drop issues.
For standard, in-the-box functionality, I follow this chain:
Pitch shifting – HOG
Sustainer – vintage BlackFinger
Filters – Qtron+, Micro Synthesizer, Octave Multiplexer, PolyPhase, Tube Zipper, Zipper
Dirt – Big Muff Pi, Deluxe Big Muff Pi, Little Muff Pi, Hot Tubes, Germ OD
Wah – Muff Fuzz Crying Tone Wah
Compression – Black Finger (reissue), White Finger, Soul Preacher
Modulation – PolyChorus, PolyFlange, Electric Mistress, Deluxe Electric Mistress, Small Stone, Flanger Hoax
Tremelo/Vibrato – Wiggler, Pulsar, The Worm
Delay – Deluxe Memory Man, Stereo Memory Man (original)
Reverb – Holiest Grail, Holier Grail, Holy Grail
Equalizer – 10 Band Graphic EQ
Looper – Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, 16 Second Digital DelayI updated my entry. I’ve since found a preferred sequence.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:me toowah after distortion sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Which can be desirable sometimes.
I love the vacuum cleaner sound, myself!
Definitely wah after dirt for me. The Muff Fuzz Crying Tone, if I’m not mistaken, is built with the filter after the dirt. It’s more pronounced that way.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:Oh yeah. Damn. Foiled again.
How long did it take you to amass that collection, and at what approximate price? Also, do you own pedals made by any other companies? Or do you really exclusively use Fender and EHX (forever)?I bought my first EHX pedal (an old Micro Synthesizer) about 3 years ago. I’ve invested way more than I want to admit publicly :doh: I did, however, get decent deals on all of it.
I have a few pedals from other companies as well:
BOSS PS-3 Pitch-shifter/delay
BOSS PN-2 Tremelo/pan
BOSS GE-7 Graphic EQ
BOSS LS-2 Line Selector
BOSS TU-2 Tuner
Digitech Synth Wah
Digitech Jetpack XP-1000 (Space Station, Modulator, Reverberator, Whammy/Wah)
DOD FX80B Comp/Sust
M-Audio EX P (x2)
Roland RE-101 Space Echo
ZVex Fuzz Factory (gold sparkle)
ZVex Lofi Loop JunkyI would love to try stuff like Mu-Tron, Pigtronix, and MOOG; but EHX are by far my favorite.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:Yes, as a matter of fact I do.Cool! I have an old beat up Bass Micro Synth that still works great, but would be a perfect candidate for modding. I may treat myself to your services sometime in the coming months.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:I’d like to burgle that.Hey now :nono: You’d have to get past my vicious attack cat first.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:what’s that “Zipper” pedal?It’s an envelope follower, like a Dr.Q. Very cool, but the Q-tron+ renders it pretty obsolete.
Fender&EHX4everModeratorDo you mod the Bass Micro Synthesizer also?
Fender&EHX4everModeratorQuote:He uses a DMM on Hot Freaks?Update: turns out that it was a Stereo Memory Man, not a Deluxe Memory Man. Edited.
