My band are out again tonight with another guitarist depping for me. This one hasn't even met them before never mind rehearsing with them. Now I have a clearer picture of how important the bass is to them , it's fair to say their regular bass player will be displaying a markedly more relaxed attitude once he returns.

I have two of these and they're just brilliant.

How exciting! Grape Phaser is on my long list,band I've heard nothing but good things about Earthquaker Devices.

First GAS test, I've just seen that Catalinbread flanger, second hand, £130. Resisting right now. If it was closer to a ton I'd be in trouble.

If you don't love it I'll eat my hat.

We do a crazy psychedelic version of Born To Be Wild as an encore, I reckon a bit of swirly flange would fit that nicely.

I have had a little look around and there's a few possibilities. The two you mention and Pigtronix Space Rip look interesting.

Lovely stuff! And happy Christmas.

Funnily enough, one of my projects has been a mini pedal board. Or at least a pedal board of mini pedals. I've done it piecemeal over time, looking for bargains, and the envelope filter has been the sticking point. At present the slot is filled by the Mooer bass sweeper, but while a fine pedal, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. However I hadn't even factored in the synth pedal so now I have to start gassing for that!

Guilty.

I don't search for a specific sound, it's more a case of defaulting to what sounds good to me. Over the years I've just found the quickest ways to get there regardless of the gear I use.

Of course this GAS thread is doing nothing to dampen my enthusiasm!

Everyone needs handpainted pedals from Greece. Tell us about it @BillyBass

Great demo. He's a heck of a player isn't he? Looks like a pretty good pedal too.

Ha ha, yeah , that's a lottery win pedal board.

Although if we're talking about quality pedal boardage, then Schmidt takes some beating. https://www.schmidtarray.com/custom

I have two of them now, bought the smaller one for my smaller pedal needs, they are remarkably good vfm but the Waggi boards look like they're the nuts.

I'll kick off with the Zero Point Flanger from Catalinbread. Loved the blurb on the thinking behind it. Apparently designed to mimic the way a flanged sound was achieved by running the signal through two tape decks and slowing one by pressing on the tape with a finger! Controlled by two foot switches, one on/off the other simulating the finger on the tape, it produces an amazing sound. I particularly like being able to control the 'flange' on the fly. Can't afford it, don't need it. But boy oh boy I like the look of it.
