You don’t just open a music store and suddenly become an EH dealer after all.”
No, you probably open a music store, order and pay for a fair amount of EHX gear, do this three times or maybe even four, sell a reasonable amount of EHX gear per year and always pay on time, then discover you have become an EHX dealer. This is pure supposition but is based on a certain amount of experience with EHX, Fender, Gibson, Maestro, Tascam, Ampeg, Peavey, Altec Lansing and ATC dealers over the past years.
(I prefer not to mention the present extraordinary dealer policy upheld in true Kafka-esque manner by two leading guitar brands here in Europe)WatsonWoodMemberQuote:or as an alternative, this is how I’d probably start.1) Crybaby
2) Q Tron+
3) Compressor
4) Tube Screamer
5) Big Muff
6) Delay
7) LPB-1Interesting,electro-melx; I would be wary of general hiss and amplified noise from the LPB-1 at the end of the chain, especially after the Delay, but then I tend to be focussed on a “clean” sound even when using several pedals at once. I suppose one could call this auditive paranoid schizophrenia.
WatsonWoodMemberQuote:Just wondering what order I should put these pedals in. Ibanez TS-9, Big Muff Pi, Boss Digital Delay, Q Tron +, LPB-1, Boss Compression, Dunlop CrybabyI would set them up as follows:
1) LBP-1
2) Dunlop Crybaby
3) Boss Compression
4) Big Muff Pi
5) Ibanez TS-9
6) Q Tron +
7) Boss Digital DelaySee how that shapes up!
WatsonWoodMemberMy pleasure.
WatsonWoodMemberBlueSteel, that is one beautiful guitar. Just looking at the pictures I can hear it playing. Maybe we should address you as the Blue Luthier from now on.
And, if you don’t mind, I did a quick one/two on the first picture in your links so that all here can admire your work which really deserves to be seen!
WatsonWoodMemberI seem to have pinged back from another planet….what great pedals!!! There I was waiting for a Voice Box, now I will be running to the store to ask them to slow down. The Vocoder looks extremely serious. I wonder what sounds the Drone modi will be producing. Can’t wait….
Tap/Infinite on the Cathedral. Winchester or Notre Dame?
WatsonWoodMemberI think that the bad rep Alesis got was due to the first machines they brought out, however the later and latest Alesis gear is pretty much up to the mark and does a really good job, especially for the price.
WatsonWoodMemberI’d like to see a cool nano version of the Napalm Snowball Feedback Looper with that extra Electro-Harmonix magic! Once built and issued it could then be integrated in a lot of the EHX XOs.

Brilliant, ghost!!! :thumb:
WatsonWoodMemberI’m sure you will work it out, Tom!
WatsonWoodMemberQuote:Does Hawkwind still have a hot naked chick dancing in front of them when they play?No, Julian, I do not think so. The last I heard the original lady in question was married and settled down somewhere in Germany and has not been replaced at any Hawkfest so far.
WatsonWoodMemberBy this you mean that the recorded delay could be programmed to remain whereby the recorded loop would be instructed to leave the vicinity tout de suite?
WatsonWoodMemberShould be no issue. I have often plugged a Shure SM 58 straight into an EHX pedal and then the pedal into a mixer. No problem, great sounds.
..and when working with a laptop all sound quality is dependent on the sound card, the graphic card, the RAM capacity, the maximum computing speed, the OS, the software package….this list can go on for a long time.WatsonWoodMemberI reckon that the echo/delay circuit is the same one as the loop circuit which would make any modding to stop the loop while keeping the echo/delay impossible. I have spent several weeks playing through the SMMH and could never resolve this question.
It would certainly be fantastic were it possible.WatsonWoodMemberDoesn’t really matter which version of an EHX pedal one looks at. You try it and if you like the sound you buy it. Buying on spec is OK if you are familiar with the stomp box you want (as in Metal Muff, for example) but otherwise take your guitar to the store and check the pedals out until you’re happy. However long it takes.
BTW I think the Metal Muff is an absolute jewel and a great enrichment to EHX’s line of distortion/fuzz stomp boxes. -
