Devi ever Synth mangler
little Big muff pi XO
little Big muff pi w/ tonewicker
Germanium OD

I’d rock it.  You’ve got most of the essentials covered.

Could you indicate what you have and what you don’t have and what you’re going for?

I can’t imagine you would need a LPB-1, Mole, Screaming bird and Germainium OD to be honest.

i personally haven’t figured that out completely myself, i too have all 3 boosters. (ether way i got to have everything EHX)

i use the Mole (on guitar) to give myself a little more low end for rythem licks, like a Korn sound (my playing isn’t like there’s just the tone)

the Screaming Bird for solo boost.

and i have 2 LPB-1’s (one nano one classic LBB-2), i use them after specific pedals that have a volume drop (i love EHX but unfortunately sum pedals do that), and i use 2 Switchblades (both classic)to activate the pedals together so it only boosts its paired pedal simultaneously when i want.

personally i would prefer to have the original EHX pedals on my board, but sum one with the know how(like myself) who wants to save room could make a mod to there pedals with a selector switch, or build a clone altogether, that has all three pedals in one selectable with a second (1 or 2) footswich or 3 way toggle switch, seeing that all three of those effects have the same schematic, only a couple different swapped out values to make the boosting sound different.

yeah.. thinking about it… it was only to be able to sculpt the tone… but, i dont think ill use them. maybe something like this would be better… the pedals i already own will be marked with an x

Riddle
Pog 2
Devi ever synthmangler x
Big muff pi w/ wicker
SPF Green line
MXR Phase 100       x
Ibanez fl-9         x
Pulsar  
RE-20             x


i have some other stuff on the shelf too… which im selling… hmm, maybe a good looping system and stagetuner for livesituations would be a good idea aswell?

ive got:

noise supressor
boss compressor/sustainer
metal muff
synth wah
cry baby
HOG
eventide pitchfactor
small stone
boss ce5 chorus
Stereo memory man with hazarai

was thinking of maybe getting ahum debugger.  also had my eye on a frequency analyzer but notice that ehx are bringing out a new ring mod pedal so ill probably go for that.  was thinking i may get a signal pad as well.  oh, and a trem pedal (probably the stereo pulsar).  theres just too many tasty pedals to desire!!!!

music is the wine that fills the cup of silence

i think the rt-20 is a great pedal! the uni-vibe sounds r just amazing. maybe swap the dd-20 for a dl4, and also, how do like the re-20? i was thinking about getting one.

Hey there
How are you finding the PitchFactor?
A few youtubes were pretty critical about it’s ability to harmonize, and the way they used it sounded pretty shakey.  Others made some really nice clips using it.  I’m really interested, but it’s a lot of money for something that might not live up to it’s specs on paper.
So I’m listening out for more opinions.
Thanks

also, i think that the phase 100 and rt-20 should go before distortion, so that they dont add TOO much WOOOOSSSHHH to the distorted signal, i run my phase 90, and rt-20 that way. But if you want the big WOOOSSHHH, then keep it. Also i would recommend the re-20 going before the pulsar then into the dd-20, it sounds pretty cool
