Some pedals incoming

Unpopular opinion, I'm using the EHX Ripped Speaker as a gate.

I run gain at zero, volume/tone set to "neutral", then adjust bias knob until it starts gating, and run it in a loop switcher after all my drives.

It was a happy accident that led me there. The best discovery I made in a few years, tbh.

How in the world did you come to this thought process?

Power supply on lower tier under the deck and FM. I decided to go crazy on ToneLok pedals so I have the infamous CF7 chorus and the DE7 coming this week. The delay will go in the Micro Amp's place, Micro Amp to the Phaser's place and then put the phaser and chorus where the tuner and wah are. The wah, tuner and a 2 button Mesa footswitch will go on a small satellite sidecar. Again; this would all be moot if Nux would listen and build the Bumblebee XL! :guiness

That’s a big change from the last iteration! What got you on the ToneLok train?

I still have the full pile of stereo board pedals. I just boiled it down to a smaller board for a single amp setup.

The FM3 is in this rig for amp modeling. It would work for post fx like verb and delay if needed with a real amp but I'd probably just put the SD3 back on instead. The ToneLok stuff is a nostalgic thing. The EVH phaser is great for that thing but the ToneLok one is great for Incubus style bubbly sounding modulation stuff. The Chorus is a Wes Borland fave for weird sounds and the DE7 is another delay pedal option. The set we having been working in is nu metal so these sounds fit right into that style like peanut butter and jelly :love

Put an offer in for a Weeping Demon wah to semi-complete my ToneLok series :satan

I’ve always heard great things about that pedal but can’t remember if I’ve ever tried one or not. I know it’s definitely got its own fan club.
 
Dude declined my offer which is probably OK. I had one back in the day. It was HUGE. There is a Jr. version that is normal sized with just basic level and auto off delay settings. I am lazy wah hunting with Christmas $ so kinda see what other non-Morley switchless are out there.

That's awesome. I did the exact same thing with a Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe. I may have to revisit that approach.

Appreciate the reminder!

Damn! That was 13 years ago!

VP4 Virtual Capo. Is it as good as the FM3 and 9?

VP4 incoming this week. I pulled the trigger before doing any sort of research. Is the VP4 Virtual Capo as good as the FM series? I am planning on dropping it on the open spot on my board and using it in 4cm with my amps

Sorry for bumping the sour milk, but just seeing this, and man did Ibanez know what it was doing with those push-in knobs! "You see, soon there will come the man known as 'Jive, Turkey', and he will put bigger things on his pedal board than they are designed to fit, including an FM3 whose screen has seen some things extending out over a top tier where having recessed knobs will JUST allow it to clear."

It's just a wah, tuner and FM3 now. ToneLok knobs were brilliant, too!
