Members erksin Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey Erksin, tell us about the Varioboost. I actually think of the VariO as a 'flavored' booster more than a straight up EQ. You can get treble booster tones, fat bottom or sparkley highs, or honking mids all with some gain and crunch if you want it. Depending on how much gain you dial in and what freq you choose to boost, it'll have plenty of gain on its own - way more gain than my HBOD for example, and almost as much as a cranked Timmy. What is cool is that you can cut as well as boost freqs, so getting passable single coil tones from humbuckers etc is easy. My fave setting right now is: Gain 1:00/Boost 3:00/Freq around 10:00 - does a nice imitation of a cranked tweed Champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gremson Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Way to go with the FX-17!!! :love: :love: We have something in common (a couple of things actually) -- 4 things actually! I painted my TU-2 so it's hard to tell, and I've got a Fish&Chips sitting on top of my amp. Good {censored} meng. I really want a micro pog too. What do you use yours for?

Members erksin Posted February 13, 2008 Members Share Posted February 13, 2008 Tell us about the Honey Bee too.Hmmm....The most amp-like OD I've ever played - dynamic as hell, nowhere to hide. The best midrange of any pedal I've ever played - sounds like an early '70s Ampeg V-4. The most expensive pedal I've ever played - but worth every penny to me.

Members pan760 Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm thinking about selling the Creamtone and taking the TS9 off and getting some other medium gain overdrive. Eventually I'd like to get a better delay. Maybe a DD-20 or a Dl4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L_Z_nut Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 Fortunately, unlike a traditional pedal board, if a cable goes bad, it doesn't render the entire system useless, as each unit is routed through a switching system, and not in series from one device into another. If you have one of your presets selected, can you select another pedal if all of a sudden you feel like it, or do the presets not allow you to use any other pedal(s) than the ones stored as the preset?

Members guytonster Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 Got some new knobs on the way. Hopefully within the next couple weeks I'll be able to afford an Akai Headrush and fit it in there somewhere. Did you build a board to fit inside of another board? My pedalboard has a lip on the edges that gets annoying when plugging in my guitar. This seems like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pedalboard has a lip on the edges that gets annoying when plugging in my guitar. This seems like a good idea. I didn't make the board myself. but I had the same problem. I bought one of those Island cases ATA flight cases to use as a pedalboard. Then I bought one off of ebay to fit exactly that. I'm really happy with it. Pedals fit in perfect now, and I think it looks a lot nicer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crxsh Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 4 things actually! I painted my TU-2 so it's hard to tell, and I've got a Fish&Chips sitting on top of my amp. Good {censored} meng. I really want a micro pog too. What do you use yours for? I use my micro pog -- most often -- for the organ tones you can get. When I'm looping however, I'll crank the sub octave and take out the dry & octave up for a killer bass tone. I've got to tweak it some with my Fish & Chips ..... but it's all good. Every now and again I'll set up it for that 12-string type sound, just to thicken up chords ...... but I use it pretty sparingly. You can overdo FX like that.

Members BTBAM Posted February 14, 2008 Members Share Posted February 14, 2008 blurry, but you can see almost anything....bottom left corner in the pic is strobo stomp, next to that verbzilla....below that is the goatkeeper and fuzz factory. off the board is the pulp mill and wah probe.
