I figured I wouldn’t clog the Favorite Pedals thread with my own bullshit pedal build.
First wave of new pedals in the door yesterday. POG, OpAmp Big Muff, and Walking On the Moon.
POG doing poggy things. No complaints. Big Muff doing that Siamese Dream thing perfectly. I’ve owned both of these before so no surprises. I didn’t get hip to the Elastic Mattress pedal until after ordering the Walking On The Moon, which is supposedly just the Electric Mistress rebranded. (Though seeing Andy Summers on it adds to the vibe right
![ROFL :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
) Super dope tones nonetheless. Im pleasantly surprised, that was kind of a last second stocking stuffer I threw in on the order (ya know, for the effort) and it’s kind of cool.
Current rotation. Probably gonna run the board with just the SD1 on OD duty for a bit to free up space on the Cioks.

The board will start taking shape over the weekend as The Strymon’ing begins. Dig v2 should be here today, and Deco v2 tomorrow. I’ve owned both so know what I’m getting. (V1’s at least) Dig is my favorite delay pedal I’ve ever owned and the Deco is kind of Strymon’s hidden gem. Believe it or not it’s actually my favorite chorus pedal lol. Lo-fi tones are dope. Curious to try the tape saturation with the $80 tone knob, because it was generally way too dark on V1.
Needs (Insert Farley)
- Compressor and/or a clean boost. (sweetener) Might resort to using the Tumnus as boost in the interim, but I’m running out of spots in the Cioks QC7
- An expansion to the QC7
- More delays and verbs
- I’m pretty much a delay fiend, though I’m intentionally not going too crazy there yet because I want to spend some time with Dig/Deco. DMM, Halo, or El Cap all in the running for “next”.
I need to find some decent patch cables. These thin ones I have (I hate the 1/4” ones) get mangled super quick when having to twist them for the top jack to side jack connections. I need to google, maybe they make some thin line ones where the connectors are are the opposite side on either end.
Time to break out the pedal train board which I never thought I’d ever use after abandoning my last build a few year ago.
