Dirt and Vibe

[marnold]

Over the past couple of years I've picked up some really nice pedals, many from JHS. About two years ago I got a Notaklon which is a fun thing to build. No idea how close it comes to an actual Klon but I like it. Around that time I got the JHS Unicorn which is a Univibe clone. It's pretty bright but still a great pedal. Christmas of 24 I got myself the Keeley Octa Psi which is a really cool Muff-like fuzz with Whammy-like pitch shifting. Early last year I got the Notadumble. Even though the second circuit is not what JHS intended, it's actually my favorite part of the pedal. When JHS was blowing out their Legends of Fuzz pedals I got a Smiley which is a Fuzz Face clone. Last but not least is my Christmas present to me this year: the Soldano SLO Plus. It's a very versatile dirt pedal from crunch to SLO-style gain.

Very cool Rev! I owned that Soldano overdrive myself. I ended up selling almost all the pedals I had collected over 35 years. I kept just a few and they sit on a tiny board I set up for jamming. I'll post it up sometime.

Those are some tasty pedals!

The best Uni-Vibe I ever owned was an old Dunlop one I had in the U.K. about 30 years ago! Nowadays I have the Strymon Lex which is more of a jazz organ rotary kind of sound, but it's a good one.

I'd like to hear that Soldano SLO pedal.

These days I use a very simple pedal setup:

Strymon Lex
Origin Cali76 Compressor
Dirty Boy Preamp or Marshall Guv'nor
