#pedalsandeffects

1. saturnworks kill switch (momentary)

stepping on this mutes the input from the guitar until it is released.

2. boss dd-3 (siegmeyer sticker)

set in hold mode so it will just repeat a short burst of sound over and over again as long as it's held down, useful for drones or writing harmonies.

3. tuner

cuts signal when engaged, acting as a latching kill switch, useful for tuning or changing guitars.

4. expression overdrive

lets me sweep back and forth between completely clean and boosted/overdriven, useful for beefing up distortions after it or gradually building gain.

5. weird combo pedal (mushroom sticker)

I'm like at least the third owner of it, don't know the original components but it's an analog delay pedal set to like slapjack almost reverb and a shitty distortion pedal housed together in one enclosure. each side can be turned on and off separately, and originally they had independent inputs and outputs but I wired them together so it's always delay into distortion. I love this pedal bc it's basically my big sound but in one box. distortion is almost a fuzz.

6. boss sd-1 (hyrule shield sticker)

first pedal I ever got, basic overdrive sound that's lighter than distortion, you can still play chords without getting too muddy.

7. rainbow machine

if you know what this is, you know what this is. weird pitch shifting delay that I use for both a barely-detuned lush chorus and intense acid trip sounds. pitch detune controlled by expression pedal A.

8. boss phaser (moon sticker)

slow rate for a gradual sweep. useful for sounding like pink floyd. good for clean parts.

9. joyo vision modulation (triforce sticker)

dual modulation, I use it for a lot of things, but mainly bitcrusher, octave up/down, and really fast rate chorus.

10. joyo us dream distortion

my favorite regular distortion / main pre-delay distortion. used for power chords or solos. I think the circuit is based off of suhr riot? idk it just sounds like what distortion should sound like. for alt rock or pop punk.

11. rubberneck delay

analog delay with rate adjust, good warm delay but also fun time stretchy pitch shifty sounds as you half or double the delay tempo. tap tempo set by pedal B, synced with dd-7 later in the chain.

12. boss bass overdrive (sparkly purple)

this is the heaviest shit you'll ever hear. fuzzy bass distortion that you feel in your bones. the downstairs neighbors probably hate this one.

13. joyo british sound

technically an amp sim, I use it for something kinda on the verge of drive and light distortion. different eq/tone than the sd-1 and the expression overdrive, but these three are the basics of my low-gain sound.

14. boss chorus

basic chorus set at a slow rate. I use this as my subtlest modulation pedal, just kinda thickening things out.

15. boss flanger

slow rate flange for that jet engine sound. layer over the phaser for ultimate modulation for underwater or spacey sounds.

16. joyo tremolo (painted lines, hamcat? sticker)

choppy trem. I'll adjust rate as needed but usually keep it choppy.

17. keeley realizer

set to soft focus mode. pretty intense mono reverb with modulation and delay. the reverb half of the keeley loomer pedal. when run after bitcrusher, makes for some fun synth sounds.

18. boss dd-7 (dark sun gwyndolin sticker)

main delay, second pedal I ever got. tap tempo set by pedal B and synced with the rubberneck but at a different tempo subdivision. mono signal splits into stereo here, with delays ping-ponging back and forth between left and right channel.

19. digitech polara

big shimmer stereo reverb that sounds like you are going to heaven. the opposite of subtle. massive on it's own, wall of sound when run into the distortions after it.

20. la lady stereo distortion

two distortions run in parallel, one for left channel and one for right channel. still messing around with the exact distortion mode I like best for each amp. for big distortion after delay/reverb sound.

21. boss looper

stereo loop pedal with two channels, lets me loop random shit over each other and save to play back later. mostly used for recording ideas as I'm practicing that I can revisit later, or building loops. controlled by foot switch C.

22. stereo volume pedal

can be used to completely cut off volume to amps, full volume, or anywhere in-between. for when I feel self conscious about bothering the neighbors. after this, stereo signal splits out to separate distortions and amps.

23. final end-chain distortion

23A takes the left channel from the stereo pedals, is a boss ds1 that goes to my vox amp. good classic distortion, had it for years.

23B toggles distortion channel on my fender amp, which is where the right channel from the stereo pedals goes.

I always turn these on or off together, big messy distortion after all the loops and delays for pure shoegaze wall of noise. love how the slightly different distortion sounds really emphasize the stereo field.
