My cheap pedal habit

[Shredder777]

I deleted myself.

I have a new bad habit which is late night browsing Ali and ordering pedals which may or may not arrive. May or may not work.

I never did this before because I was ashamed and "clones are stealing", but...I got my first clone and realized.. this is really good! Apparently it was a gateway pedal. I have another on the way.

Should I just keep this to myself?

Dill or sweet?

Does it the era-correct thumb screw though? Does it? DOES IT!?!?! DOESSS IT!?!?!?!?!!

I got the DemonFX Klon and King of Tone knock-off pedals last week for about 80 EUR off a guy on a local forum. Those pedals have a lot of great tones in them.
I don't have it in me to fork out the $$ for the originals; these get the job done.

I'm a sucker for cheap pedals, my favorite so far has been the M-VAVE Mini Universe. May or may not have a Mooer Ensemble King in my ali cart right now...

The Amazon Basics Tube Screamer is awesome. 20 bucks. I think they call it Kokko now.
TC Electronic 3rd Dimension is also great. I just sold my old Dimension C because I like the TC better. $50.

The Kokko comp is very good too!!! Mine was 20 bucks.... perfect.

That whole tc line is great too!!! Especially used.

I’ve got a few, they ended up being great. The behringer super fuzz, mooer yellow comp, and joyo ultimate drive. I’m not a big fan of the idea generally, but at the time I wanted some new pedals for a rig idea I was building out and my funds were super limited. $60ish instead of $600ish was the right choice for me at the time.

OK.. the one coming in the mail is the Movall Jumpspace for $20.

Clone of this.

I'm looking for something to push my high gain leads.

An eq pedal can do amazing things in many ways, for little expense.

 

[itchyfingers]

I bought a Caline "Heavy Metul" for like 18 bucks I think. I bought it specifically because the pic of the pedal in the ad had the misspelled "metal". When it arrived, they had fixed the typo. Was disappoint.

Just that there's very little really decent EQ pedals out there.

That's the one pedal I should get. Analog that is.
I have an early generation Source Audio eq, and it's good, but it colors the signal just a bit more than I like, even at flat setting. The feel isn't quite there with me. Could be a conversion+latency thing. I'm sure an MXR or Boss would be just fine though.

Hahahaha, I have their "Reflector Tremelo" that I bought for the same reason (and because it reminds me of Twin Peaks), but in this case they didn't fix it.

It's a run-of-the-mill tremolo and cost me 20€. Not bad.

I even like it better than the EHX XO Pulsar that I sold on due to noise issues.

I've had a few cheap pedals - the Moore noise killer has been in my rig for at least 10 years now and has been perfect.

I also have the demonfx 33 clone which has been fineq, a mosky buffer which I think is a clone of a jhs little black buffer. My most recent one is a horizon precision drive clone from joyo - the Argos boost, which has been fantastic

 

[adam]

It kicks ass.

It really does. It's a coin flip between the Argos and a 33 clone which I prefer, but both are great. The attack knob on the Argos makes it really versatile. The 33 just gets a tiny bit more crazy sounding.

 

[FuzzyAce]

Fwiw, I payed $85 for a BD-2, DS-1, OD-3. Combined. All quite useable and great in their own way.
