jazzrat Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I was really in persuit of Eric Johnson's clean tone knowing I was starting in a hole with a mono rig. I wanted to get it done with the minimum number of pedals. The El Cap has that Echoplex tone I hear in my head. Just added the T1M preset switch so I can have a complete separate setting on the El Cap. The DD-3 behind it allows another level of delay and is usually set for dotted 1/8's The TC Electronic SCF is certainly all I've heard it was. The Jekyll & Hyde may get replaced with a Zen Drive or an OCD or something but for now it offers a broad range of dirt for minimal $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nice little board you have there! Of course, you KNOW we want sound clips..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzrat Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 you KNOW we want sound clips unfortunately had to sell my only recording interface to dig up the scratch so no recording for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nice set up. I have the Zendrive, ocd and Jekyll & Hyde. The Jekyll & Hyde is on my board and the OCD and Zen sit in a box in a cupboard. I use the J&H as one stomp, both on or off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzrat Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 he Jekyll & Hyde is on my board and the OCD and Zen sit in a box in a cupboard. That's good to know. It still sounds great to me but I start listening to the "what else is out there" voices and wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nice board! I always strive to as small a board as possible, and then I'll need one more pedal, now I'm back up to the PT2. What kind of volume pedal you got there? The El Capistan seems like a real popular delay. It seems like a lot of guys have more than one delay on their boards, besides sometimes using two together, I suppose ya have them so you don't have to bend down everytime you want to change the settings?

It's an Ernie Ball Vol Pedal. I really like the washy modulated tone you get from tape machines or from the Memory Man. Both either too expensive and high maintenance or too big for my little board. The El Cap is digital but has the warm tone my old Ibanez Ad-80 had with the additional modulation thing going on. Fabulous sounding, to me, anyway. I occasionally use the two delays together but it's mostly just to have another option preset. With the favorite switch on the El Cap it's like have three delays sitting there in the space of two.

I like the Strymon stuff a lot, haven't pulled the trigger yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Speaking of pedalboards, there are some really nice ones here, Koula and Tulk1 both have some cool boards and JeffB probably has more cool gear than anyone and his board never looks the same way twice. Occasionally someone will stir up everyone into posting pics, (not me of course) might be time for another picture thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I just finished my new board. Its full of cheapness, boss and other buffered pedals. So much tone suck going on Im going to call it the plug hole. Think its going to work though. Just have to put on a noise gate of some sort,probably the isp decimator, and its done.

tulk1 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Getting your pedal board where you want it and can use it is very important. Kinda cool when it all comes together. Is the little box next to the Strymon the tap tempo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I've recently realized that a pedalboard is something that is in constant flux - always changing. Add to that, the fact that one can have more than one pedalboard - your main gigger and, say, a mini with just some basic dirt and delay - the mini is one I'll probably work on next.

jazzrat Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Is the little box next to the Strymon the tap tempo? Actually no, the Strymon has tap built in. The switch is a "favorite" switch. I can save a different bunch of settings as a preset. It's like having a whole 'nother El Capistan. Just got that BTW. It's made by Dan Burgess at T1M pedals. Very nice guy with cool products.

Sorry about the above post, cell phone, what I intended to say was, when can we expect pictures Jeff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
