I went to see the Zico Chain monday night and i was stood right in front of Chris the bass player. I looked at all his gear as he came on to set it up but i couldnt work out what one of the pedals he was using was.

It was a little orange thing, more of a circle than a square or rectangle(curvy), slightly smaller than his Boss overdrive next to it.

The only other pedals he had was the boss overdrive and a Boss tuner aswell but was using an Ampeg SVT pro4 which he may of had a tube sound on giving him his dirty tone.

It was hard to tell amongst the other overdrive which was always on but i think it was another overdrive or fuzz, possibly a filter but i couldnt be certain.

Can anybody tell me from my terrible description what it was?!!

Thanks
Alex

Maybe a Fuzz Face? I've seen some pictures where the light makes it look orange.

But those are about 4 times the size of boss pedals

The words moonrock or Expandora spring to mind but neither fit it perfectly

like the new marshall shape, for the echohead etc?

I've seen some brightly coloured pedals with a similar shape on ebay, but can't remember their name. I don't think they have much of a reputation, it's just cheap stuff really, but could be good. Could be that? Have a look on ebay, see what you can see!

They're on Kerrang and Scuzz quite frequently. The bassist has a seriously big sound! The music's quite good too.

I was at the show earlier in the year when they first played that and the comment before it was ' This songs about pedophiles...weve got a f****n problem with em!' so... i think thats the only one! :)

Though obviously that one's an echo so probably not what he was using.[/quote]
TBH that looks like it may have been it!? But i couldnt have been sure!

as i said it was not very loud through all the distortion so i couldnt really tell how much effect it was having!

Thanks all!
