The Sexy Single Pedal Thread

[Snags]

im curious about this one, as its always avaliable on my used market for cheaps.
The looks alone would go hand in hand with my T2 Reverb.

It's absolutely not special or revolutionary or outrageous. I think I paid £30 for it new a good few years ago now. But. It will cover overdrive-ish to distortion, isn't overly sniffy about what it's plugged into, and does basic job to a good enough standard that you can rely on it. It's also happy to be goosed by other pedals, or to goose an already driven sound.

Counter-intuitively I'm currently using it to get a relatively mild ovedrive/distortion into the clean channel of an amp, or to add a bit more filth and thickness to an already filthy sound (dirty channel/RAT).

Pigtronix anniversary Maxon 808. One of only 400 or so made. It’s an 808 with more gain and a germanium fat mod. Bar none the best OD I own, really adds gravy to the potatoes.

Potatoes always needs something more. That’s for sure.

Salt and fat, preferably from bacon or bacon plus other things.

Bacon AND bacon

Deep fried in a mix of bacon fat and duck fat, then made into a poutine with cheese curds and gravy AND chopped bacon. Mmmmmmm!

That's the closest Google hit I could get on Deuxplex, yeah. But JT's "trumpet" comment threw me off the the trail. I thought maybe there was some kind of guitar synth/ slow gear effect going on. No? Just oodles of gain?

Just a 2 channel Plexi Preamp type pedal...no synth noises (I think the Trumpet comment was like an epiphany moment, maybe)...and not oodles of gain either. Just a great sounding "more" pedal. I boost it with a Timmy and it's fantastic into a hairy clean amp.

Not my demo...

I changed the chicken head knobs.

I felt my arteries constricting just reading that.

You can't have potatoes that taste good and are healthy at the same time. I don't eat them very often because of that. It is healthier to save some calories and just have the bacon cheese and gravy.

Sweet potatoes are healthy, aren't they? I love them with nothing added other than some pepper.

I think they are and they taste much better than real potatoes without fat and salt added, but I don't consider them to be potatoes.

What a color! :O

(Also: SD-1 is a classic.)

The toggle switch in the boost part of the colorful pedal is more useful than it seems. One of the demos had the knob turned almost off and there seemed to be significant change in the sound before and after the boost was activated.

They should have made a DD-3 with high cut mod and metallic white paint job.
