Members Armchair Bronco Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 My 12-year old kid want us to build a small pedalboard of his own. I thought we should have some kind of underlying theme around the build and the acquisition of new pedals. So, what are 4 "Must Have" Radiohead pedals (not including a tuning pedal)? It would cool if one of them were available as an easy-to-build kit from BYOC or GGG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Armchair Bronco Posted June 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 Rat Done. I have an all-original 1981 ProCo RAT on my own board, and the first kit I ever built was a Rat clone with a real LM-308N chip. So that will go on the board. One down, 3 to go. What else?

Members lucid origami Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 I just saw Yorkie and Friends on Tuesday and I was pretty surprised that he played all the main rhythm parts to each song. It was really unexpected because I assumed the creative rhythm work was Jonny or the other guy. It really felt like the Yorkie show but it was pretty cool regardless.

Members starmansam Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 the envelope filter kit that they sell is the radiohead style one, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lucid origami Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 Anyway, it sounded a lot like a rat at times and I know he uses a turbo rat or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Armchair Bronco Posted June 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 dod 404 clone, rat, small stone phaser and I guess a delay of some sort. The Small Stone has earned a spot on the board. 2 down. What kind of delay? Carbon copy or something digital and over-the-top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members placebo62 Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 DL-4 would make sense, obviously its not DIY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members placebo62 Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 I really think the dod 404 is critical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 12string Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 What era/sounds are you thinking? I guess a general rec of: Rat (or Shredmaster) DOD 440 type envelope filter Some kind of delay (probably a pt2399 based/analog sounding variety) Maybe vibrato or chorus? I'm pretty sure the Shredmaster is a BYOC kit, I know there's a GGG DOD 440 kit. I don't know too much about the PT-80 kit from GGG - you'll want something for crazy oscillations and short/medium delay (Greenwood's Space Echo I think). The chorus is a toss up, I'd guess chorus or phaser (Small Stone?) and they might be a bit harder to find a kit for. Edit: Crap, I was giving you recs for a strictly DIY board...

Members Armchair Bronco Posted June 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 DL-4 would make sense, obviously its not DIY DIY delays have HUGE parts counts and are hard to build. I'm seeing kits for the DOD 440 Filter Envelope + WAH but not the 404. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a DIY Rat ready to go. And I've built a Univox Super Fuzz kit as well. So I'm ready for another challenge. (But not sure if I want to build a delay.)

Members delay dude Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 There is no rat on his board, imho. 1) He uses a marshall shredmaster/boss sd-1. There is a kit at byoc called "the shredder". 2) Delay and Reverb is very important. The boss RV-3 would be perfect for that.3) a small stone/ polychorus for weird sounds.4) Tremolo. There are several diy kits for tremolos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lucid origami Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 pretty sure there's a rat on yorkie's board the imp guy who has had the same haircut since '94 has the shredmaster i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Couleurs Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 2) Delay and Reverb is very important. The boss RV-3 would be perfect for that. Agreed. though tap's pretty important I'd say, so either this or dl-4. Or a Nova Repeater. Or a flashback delay (has tap?). Golly there's so many options these days.

Members Armchair Bronco Posted June 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 Man, I already have 2 of these pedals on my own board: the RV-3 and an old Rat. I've also got a Small Clone, not the Small Stone. Seems like the Envelope Filter is what we should start with then, and maybe in a DIY kit. Would a 440 work, or should I keep looking for a 404 kit?
