The order is Dream Crusher, Pharaoh, Fix'd Fuzz (Fuzz 1, Tone, Boost), Musket, Dirt Transmitter.


FUZZZZZZZZZZ


Rig was SG Classic, Blackstar HT-5, 2x12 with v30ish speakers.


Here's the board showing how everything was set:


F6B1C5EB-E647-4113-AA16-85AE1FBA4847-860

 

That's really cool man...for me, the Pharaoh kills it!


but you didn't do the Mastortion?? how do you like that pedal?

so....a friend of mine is going to the US in a few weeks and i'm going to get her to bring back a couple of pedals for me...but i don't know what to go for...the problem is, there are no guitar shops in which i can try out any of the BAT pedals...


the ones i have in mind are:

Pharaoh

Sarcophagos

Ritual


Is there something on the Earthquaker Devices range that I should definitely get? I like the Monarch, although its not really a fuzz pedal.


The deal is, if I get the Sarcaphagos, then that's it...that's my budget gone...if i get anything else, i could stretch to buying 2 pedals (1 BAT and 1 EQD maybe)


Is there something else anyone recommends? I currently only have a Big Muff and a Bass Big Muff (which i really like) and Dirty Rat that i set very close to Fuzz...so my pedal board is pretty limited as far as Fuzz tones go.

There's a tiny screw inside that you can see from the battery compartment that controls the max feedback setting. It never really goes crazy but you can up it a little bit.

 

that's the one.


thanks about the tip, i'll check that out.

I've never tested the others, but the Pharaoh is a winner...if you don't have any fuzz, that's a perfect beginning smile.gif

Really want to try this pedal. After hearing their analog delay in person I was pleased with the quality of that pedal.

{censored}ing this. Every time I put that album I get super {censored}ing pumped. It's a treat showing people Galaxicon for the first time.

Always forget you have the Mastortion. I need to try that pedal. Also your board is ridicuously nice and has almost enough dirt. wink.gif

It's an amazingly good fuzz. Can do a lot of splatty stuff without being noisy, but can also cop alot of 'regular' fuzz face sounds. Very, very happy with that purchase.

I generally don't like the Mastortion into a clean amp. I use it to boost a dirty amp and it works really well in that way. Here is the only clip I have of the Mastortion - SG Classic, Blackstar HT5 dirty channel, Celestion 75s.


Mastortion Clip


Well, that's not entirely true. As Pelliot suggested, running the Pharaoh on low, then hitting it with the Mastortion brings the heavies. But I like the Pharaoh set how it is, and I'm not much on stacking dirt, so I don't use them like that very often.

Never enough - too many I want to try out. And you would probably dig the Mastortion hitting a dirty amp. I imagine you could cause some sort of natural disaster if you crank the Marshall then hit it with the Mastortion.

Really nice! Sounds like I can (more or less) dig it with a RAT smile.gif

I try and try different phasers be they fancy and boutique or simple and classic and I almost always end up back with a phase 90. Although everything I've ever heard from a phase 45 makes me think I'll like it even more. I think I'll build one of the kits.

I built the kit from GGG. It was pretty cheap and easy as my first build. I got the catalinbread guys to help me get the led to pulse with the rate too. I like it, but it's kind of subtle with higher gain dirt. Thats what the Small Stone is for though. I've got it set up for a longer sweep that sounds great with lots of dirt and the Phase 45 is set for a fast rate that sounds great on cleans (Or as clean as my amp will be. I usually have it running at 7 or higher on my pre).

Maybe you could pick up a Wren and Cuff for the Big Muff tones and an EQD Talons for overdrive/distortion.

The pharaoh land the revelation are my favorite of the BAT stuff right now, although they are all really good. The pharaoh is just one of those pedals everyone should have though. My favorite of the EQD line, and one of my favorite fuzzes in general, is the hoof. That thing sounds so amazing. So {censored}ing heavy and so much volume. I am surprised not to see it on more doom boards. You would do well to try one out.

Holy {censored} Trey! I was just listening to your soundcloud of Pharaoh vs Musket and at 2:30 you play the main riff from our tune Lion Storm. That's rad!


And I've been saving my pennies (because that's all they give me!) and I finally sold some dumb crap last night and I now have enough money in hand to not feel like an asshat asking particulars about a metal fab shop doing my work. The Ape Blaster is looming on the horizon!


Also I'd like to third the Galaxicon love. {censored} is HOT


Lastly I have total bassboner GAS because of Riffer's Vantage double-p. My god this axe!

yeah I tend to prefer the phase 90 at like 1 o'clock ish and the phase 45 is even more subtle even at those kinds of speeds which sounds awesome to me. Also yeah, I'd just build the GGG kit. I think I've decided that other than a loop-master pedal I need and a whammy pedal I'm probably going to build the rest of my pedals.


I want a green ringer, 2 fuzzes of some sort(undecided there) a WHRL, a parked wah, and an octave pedal which I'll likely have to go through BYOC to get the kit for which is fine.
