EFFECT PEDALS
To be honest I rarely ever use effect pedals, 99,9 % of the time there's just one lead between the output of my Guitar and the input of my Amp. In recording I scarcely make use some of the effects provided by the program, in my case Apple's 'Garageband'. Just a bit reverb and some delay on solo's. Maybe some chorus or ambience because I record everything via the line-out of the Vox amps.
Jen Jumbo Fuzz
The Jen Jumbo Fuzz produced to types of distortion:
1. Too much
2. Far too much
In the 70s my friends said I sounded much better with it switched on. I thought I sounded better when it was switched of. After some months I had knocked all the sliders off and finally the foot-switch broke.
Mini Monacor Phaser
The Mini Monacor was one of the first phase shifters, small and easy to carry along. Not to be used all the time!
Doctor Q Envelope Follower
The Doctor Q was a very cool pedal! An envelope follower is a sort of auto-wha. The wah-effect follows the attacking of the strings. This was great for funk rhythm guitar.
Small Stone Phaser
Another Electro-Harmonix pedal. The Small Stone Phaser was the best of it's time. There were two versions, the 45 and the 90. I used the 90 for some time.
Ibanez Graphic Equalizer
An Equalizer I could very wel use with the Marshall 2144. It boosted the signal as well as adapt the tonal characteristics to my taste.
Pearl Distortion Box
The Pearl distortion box was a very nasty sounding box. I used it to have contrasting leads with al sorts of clean rhythms I played at the time.
Ibanez Analog Delay
The Ibanez analog delay was one of the first usable Delay-pedals, could be wired in stereo. I used it quite a lot.
Ibanez Digital Delay
A later programmable digital delay, also by Ibanez. You could program 'chains' of delay-patches. It was hard to remember how many times to press before You got the patch You wanted. The best was to use only three patches:
1.Long delay
2.short delay
3.off
Ibanez Digital Distortion
This is the Ibanez "digital distortion pedal" it had programmable patches. Also mostly used for three patches:
1 clean 2 crunch 3 lead boost. The box pictured is probably a reissue from another manufacturer. I used the original Ibanez which looked exactly the same.
Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Cry-baby Wah
I think your grandma will know what this is!
Marshall Channel Switcher
A pedal with just one knob. It switches the pre-amp channels on the amplifier. Usually to change the sound from Rhythm (chords) to Solo (single string melodic playing) when a boost is needed. This pedal is very usable when playing festivals. There is a backline ready to plug in and most of the time they are Marshalls and the channel switcher is always missing. So I carry my own switcher with me, along with a guitar, a cord, a pick and a strap.
