Anyone ever find any real good analog Pedals lately? I just snagged a Ibanez Champ Delay CD-10....Real nice..made by Maxon..late 80's almost identical to the AD-9 DM-3's. Seems theres lots of old Japanese stuff that seems not so bad now. Like Butta!!

Everyone's still recovering from the sonic assault .

Mikhailwatt and Hiwatt Bob both brought a bunch of stompboxes. Dang, just remembered that I forgot to try Derek's ebow ...

That's about right Dave!

I am trying to get caught back up!

I picked up two pedals from Steve Ouimette on the cheapcheapcheap recently for my wife - Triboost and the MK2 Bender. Always wanted to hear a Rangemaster and a Tonebender - whoa! Why didn't anyone tell me they were this good? Might just keep the Tonebender for myself... That'd probably land me a month on the couch though.

Really want an Ibanez CP9. All the Maxon-era pedals are fantastic!

Subquestion: anyone built any good pedals lately?

I'm a bit of a Maxon fan boy... the 9 series mostly.

My current pedal board



Maxon CP-9 pro+, FL-9, AF-9, PT-9 pro+
Maxon made Ibanez CS-9 (I want a new Maxon)
Newish Ibanez AD-9 (couldn't swing the Maxon but might upgrade some day)
I also have an OLC Thor, Orange Peel, Flipster and Sunkist Squeeze as well as an Analog.man King of Tone and a DOD FX-35 (soon to be replaced by the new MXR octave pedal.).

I've built a Red Llama clone (not quite happy with it so it's not on my board currently) and have all the parts to get started on a Tremulus Lune when I get a moment.

The Ibanez maxon stuff seems extremely good so far...Ive been trying serie 10 stuff as theyre dead cheap... I have the CP10 compressor, its killer good. Beats my boss cs3 and Mxr Comp hands down....Sleepers I say

The new maxon is beautiful stuff, but the prices here anyways are horrid....

I built a Rangemaster clone, which is sooooo underrated...I agree it is wonderfull...really snarks up darker voiced amps..maybe a bit too trebly spanky for a Hiwatt....Great for a Marshall....but then again so is a fall down a flight of stairs..... ... I am bad!

I built a Thomas compressor clone called the Whisper, Opto coupler style...Called the Whisper...Small Bear Elect sold them for a bit as kits. Sounded great,but I have a rattle somewhere....

Wow, those are some nice pedal boards! I always make it a point to talk to guitarists at shows that have a few Maxons on their board. Dunno why, they just sound so good and they're so purdy.

Didn't know BYOC made a Aqua Puss clone. Thanks for the heads up!

In February I received a custom Superfuzz clone made by a gentleman in England. Same fella who made one for Justin of The Hiwatts. It took a year and a half (the good man had a baby and got a better job - obviously taking precedence over a pedal, and rightly so!) but it was worth the wait, she's a work of art:



Still haven't heard her through my Hiwatt...

Thanks and I should probably mention again since I'm new... I'm a bassist

Hart, what's that orange peel pedal?

New pedals? Selling some, to fund a EP3 preamp.

It's a clone of a 1974 Orange MKII in a stomp box... I was looking for a dirt pedal and found the Thor from runoffgroove's website (Marshal in a box clone), found out that http://www.olcircuits.com/ build finished versions of most of the ROG stuff and ordered one (I can build pedals, I just don't know how to do the powder coating and nifty graphics). His site was a bit weak so I offered to redesign it (Yes the current site is my work). I ended up getting the Flipster (60s Ampeg SB-12), Orange Peel and Sunkist Squeeze (bass modified Orange Squeezer clone) as partial payment for my work... content was 100% there, I just gave it a bit of a facelift.

That's part of the "mojo." You can't argue with success.
