Current setup running a 60s Lacquer Jag through the board into a Carr Rambler with a Scumback M75 65 watt and occasionally a Twin Reverb Reissue in stereo. Current inspiration varies from Women and Parquet Courts to Jungle and Parcels to Boogarins and older UMO to Fuzz and Oh Sees.
The DL4 is mostly just used for looping. I really like the delay available in looping mode, but its impossible to use live because you can't turn it on and off. Does anyone know if there is a mod available to add a switch that would alternate the tweez knob (delay volume in loop mode) between 0 and the current setting?
The Ibanez analog delay is pretty cool. At max repeat setting it oscillates infinitely but doesn't run over and get hugely loud which is perfect for using as a wall of sound psych thing. The things I don't like about it though are that its very dark and doesn't have modulation, something I really like about the delay on the DL4 loop mode. If I can remedy the problem I mentioned with the DL4 I'll hold onto the Ibanez, but I kind of want to replace it with a dedicated modulated digital delay. Any recommendations? I was looking at the EQD space spiral and Diamond quantum leap but they both also seem very dark.
The Wren and Cuff Phat Phuk is my newest acquisition and I love it. I was previously using an SD-1 with the gain all the way down for a light grit type thing, but the eq shift was too much. Phat phuk still adds some color but not as significantly as the SD-1. I run it on the Sag output and use the voltage adjust to change how gritty the germanium side gets, usually all the way down at 4v.
Micro amp is great. I slam the shit out of the phat phuk with it for super fuzzy awesomeness. I also use it to boost the level when I use the jag as a faux bass and turn the rhythm circuit on, roll the tone all the way down, and play with my fingers.
Chicklet reverb is cool. The reverb on the Rambler is really really good, but unfortunately not footswitchable. Chicklet is a good springy sound but does the EQD ghost echo thing where theres a delay added in. The only flaws are that it is really noisy with mix up above noon, even with the pedal off. Is this normal or do I have a defective unit?
Not pictured are a fuzzrite clone that a local guy made and a Fulltone 70 that I run off board in front of everything. The purple patch cable and an extra power cable live on the board for those pedals or for when I want to try out a friends fuzz or something. Been looking at muffs and clones now that I've been listening to Oh Sees, Fuzz, and Ty Segall more and they all use a DBA Fuzz War which I think is a muff clone or at least sounds like one. Obviously the fuzz war has my attention but I've also been eyeing Abominable Effects Hail Satan. Big box suggestions get preferential treatment cause I love em and its gonna live off board anyway.
