Sorry - another '1 space on my pedal board' thread!!!

[GazWills]

OK, firstly, apologies for another 'i have one space left on my board' thread!

Thing is though, i have one space left on my board!! I was sure i wanted a 2-stage phaser, but after borrowing a phase 45, it's not for me. I don't want a modulation pedal of any kind (so chorus and flangers out too), don't need a compressor and am happy with the dirt options I have.

Basically, if anyone can suggest something that would fit in the MXR-sized space on my board, I'd be grateful, as i'm running out of ideas!!!

cheers ears

well, I don't tend to play too many stadiums, so am normally within 2m of my board!!

You can add more than 1 pedal...

funnily enough i was looking at your micro fuzz the other day - the sound clips sound really nice - just sounds too similar to my crossdrive to justify! (and have an EQ/preamp on the board already).

nice looking pedals though...

How about an octaver of some sort, or maybe an envelope/low pass filter?

TBH i'm trying to sell my octave pedal (MXR) and recently sold a maxon AF-9 (filter)!!! just didn't ever seem to use them...

thanks for the ideas all, but i think i've pretty much talked myself out of just about everything this afternoon - I kind of wish my pedalboard was a bit smaller now!!!

maybe i could just put a can of beer there?

if you don't want a pedal, get one of these then...

it's for when your guitarist wants to let rip..

Beer is a great idea.

Tremolo? Mastotron?

beer aside i was thinking about a trem, but not sure if i'll really use it!
the mastotron does look ace - and is tempting... already have 2 other fuzz pedals not even on the board though!

[cm261]

Hmm, am running low on suggestions at the moment.

Blender?

Here's something very unhelpful though - if you mounted the fuel tank on the bottom of the board you could get another pedal on the board as well, maybe even 3 more in total! Although, on second glance I cannot actually tell if there is any/enough space under the board to do this...

[deej]

Delay? Maybe some kind of boost?

That space needs to be filled. Who cares if you dont use it, as long as it look good.

absolutely - that's the whole point of a pedal board!

i've actually re-jigged it, and squeezed everything together to (just about) give me enough space for a bass rc20xl loop thing - always fancied a looper (and not enough space for a headrush!!)

quest over.

[GazWills]

in fact, probably enough space for a looper and one of those very pretty looking new little malekko pedals. which colour to get?!!!!!

[joegarcia]

Try not to keep the looper in your chain the whole time unless you're using it loads in a set as they mess with your tone big time. Maybe get a bypass loop for it if possible.

[joegarcia]

Or, come round and try this puppy out:

hey joe - yeah, was fearing that might be the case. i'm sure there's just about room for a little looper on my board as well....
unless.... what's the headrush like for tone-killing?!?

Haven't noticed a big issue with the Headrush, it's more the Boss and Digitech ones I reckon which have non bypassable instrument preamps which are crappy. Still haven't gotten hold of my mate who's borrowing my Headrush, will give you/Si a shout if she doesn't want it.

Reckon you should give the Black Cat a go too, you may have lots of drive but the octave sound is pretty different and really cool. You're welcome to borrow it for a practice or something as it's just sat here not being used.
