Mike's Pedal Thread

What's the twofer?

Also I know you've done OCDs in the past, I had a quick look at some comparisons of the different versions and apparently the v3 has the most bass? Could you do one of those? Or is it just a cap swap? What's your opinion on the pedal(s)? Stew you use one right?

I'm not really looking to get into an overdrive tonequest, but lots of guitarists I enjoy the sound of seem to get great results with them, and they also seem to play nice with Orange style amps.

I generally make the v4, and that's what Stewart has - they all have plenty of bass and sound pretty great in my opinion.

Twofer = Eternity into a Cascaded JFET Marshall in a box overdrive.

Cheers Mike,

I'll do some more pondering.

Here's something I've been working on I'm pretty excited about:

That looks awesome! What's it gonna be exactly?

It's a Small Clone with a Mix pot added for the Wet signal. There's scope for a Vibrato mode (dry signal cut) toggle aswell.

I still reckon it should be the LOLYCHORUS

Couldn't you negate the need for this with a mix/blend pot that'd go 100% effect when cranked?

Looks great, matey.

Tricky to manage without volume issues at the extremes but I'll experiment

That's a very good point, you don't wanna pull an EHX in that respect.

I've been rendering my very crap demo of the IC Muff for the past few hours, I'm terrified that the filesize devour us all. Or maybe it just takes ages to render 7 minute videos in 1080p, who knows.

edit: 540mb.. not too horrendous. Will get to the library with it's reliable internet and send it over, once it stops pissing down outside.

Wowser! Can you upload a version to YouTube also bud?

Cheers for this!

Mike, when you get that chorus done can you do an demo? I'm really interested in something that can do dry vibrato like that. I have a need to start using the Vibrato on my Twin now but my concern is when I play on a different amp, being able to get that sound.

Could this toggle be a footswitch instead?

Vibrato on a Twin is actually Tremolo though, amplitude modulation.

My version of this will have Chorus or Vibrato (pitch vibrato/modulation).

Mark, I don't think I could fit a second footswitch in easily but it's possible. Not sure how usable in a song Chorus and Vibrato with exact same settings would be...

Right, I meant that I have a need to do something involving fast modulation for certain parts of songs and don't want it to be dependent on my amp. I am using my Twin's vibrato for now because I don't have anything else worth a damn.

No probs. I'll still be interested if you can't.

Cheers to Andycakes for the fantastic demo of the '78 IC Muff.

(go to previous page if you want to see the finished Chorus)

No probs, mate; not my best demo by a long way, but hopefully it'll entice a few peoples.

Weird, the video only has a maximum resolution of 480p.. did you save it as another file and downsize it or summat?
