rugby1970 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Hi there, I'm looking to supplement my boards and would like to find the following pedals : Reverb Overdrive Distortion Delay (maybe) The criteria: not too expensive, no more than 4 knobs, no fru-fru nonsense, just a pedal - no accessories like a can opener, shoe buffer, mystery/magical Kryptonite chip, etc. Oh yeah, they can't be larger than, say, a pack of cigarettes; no aircraft carriers, please. Thanks for the help.
custom53 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 I use, 1980's, Ibanez PUE5 for both Guitar and Bass...
rugby1970 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Posted February 26, 2019 Great idea. I tried something similar when I was younger but couldn't figure it out.

Jakeboy Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 I have a JHS Banana Boost that does Rangemaster treble booster all the way to full-range LPB1 tones. It is a great pedal but I have 3 others that do the glorious Rangemaster thing so I can let this one go. $90 shipped OBO...? Everyone needs a treble booster for OD and distortion.
JGale Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I have a Big Muff clone (a Large Beaver) I got from an inmate here. It is from a BYOC kit. It has the 5088 transistors, so its a clone of the Russian version of the muff. It does not have the ON-OFF-ON tone shaping selection switch so it is locked in the "flat" response tone shape. He did a nice job on it. $20 and it's yours. Jim

JGale Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Sorry. Went out for Pho. Give us a minute. It has a piece of velcro covering the entire bottom.
rugby1970 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 I hope that you got some Phee and Phi with that Pho. Can I lose for $20? Consider it sold.
Hbom Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I found this rabbit hole here at The HFC, so I think it's OK to pass along. Pedals are good. Prices are great! But it is a maddening way to run a business if you are looking for something specific. https://lovepedalcustomeffects.myshopify.com/
Hbom Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 It was a toss up for me. I had a hard time deciding between sending a link to this weekends sale, or a list of the LPs I haven't found a spot for and want to move.

Thank you both for the heads up.
rugby1970 Posted March 26, 2019 Author Posted March 26, 2019 Update and thanks to all: Picked up the JHS Banana Boost, the Large Beaver, and the Junior Roommate. Lovepedal tape echo delay is on the way.
cmatthes Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 The Lovepedal stuff is great - I'm a big fan! Those stupid sales always seem to hook me on something I really don't need...

It is almost as if he tweaks the circuits exactly the way my ears want. A glorious rabbit-hole of killer guitar tones!
Jakeboy Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 The sales are about once a month if you sign up for email updates, Rodi.
cmatthes Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 I just dug up this one that I got as a backup to the checkerboard one that has never left my board. I’ve honestly used it less than three times. It’s the limited edition, all-chrome one. Any interest?

Fool me once..... So I bought a used Line 6 POD Live XT multi-effects unit. I can't figure it out and I even have the manual. I was a good engineer before I retired, For Cripes Sake!! This thing is already on sale on Craigslist. I just sticking to individual pedals until I can find something really simple and easy to use.

rugby1970 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 These are all great suggestions and pedals. The offers have been very generous but when I started this topic I decided that I would not pay more than $100 for an individual pedal ever again. So far that's been working out for me. Now I have several "boutiquey" pedals for sale and I'll post them soon in another topic.
