SurfBandBill Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1487 San Francisco	Posted on Nov 12 2006 04:51 PM Wannes, No offense. I really just use the Chorus in one part of one song, for a spacy sounding section, along with vibrato. I used to use it to simulate the melodica sound on the solo in Del Shannon's "Runaway" but decided I liked the pure guitar tone better. Truth be told, I am ctually get a llittle ashamed when I mention the fact that I have a chorus pedal on my board. I used to put it on to drive Kenan (the original Lava Rat bassist) crazy -- he would sometimes stop playing if I did it. I'll post some pics of my board in a little bit when I get the chance. It was apparently enough to inspire Ferenc to build a similar board. ~B~ Top
WR Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 3832 netherlands	Posted on Nov 12 2006 04:58 PM wasn't me Bill. I own nor use a chorus pedal but in fact I like the effect problems that people have with it is because most stompbox choruses sound very metallic (which is NOT the effect as it should be) and because many people use too much of it. but I don't hate modulating effects. Cant see much use for it in surf, but I ve got nothing against it. Ferenc has a really narrow long one right, with PDM kanoo(sp?) stickers? wr — Rules to live by #314: "When in Italy, if the menu says something's grilled, don't assume it is." https://www.facebook.com/The-Malbehavers-286429584796173/ Top

I think that Ferenc's long board with the canoe stickers is the one I'm talking about, but won't swear to it. I just know we'd discussed it at a Surf Sunday. ~B~ Top

I just placed an order for a Vibrato pedal, will be my first pedal ever! what amp? and to stay OT: what vibrato pedal? Well, I had been using a Gibson GA-5, but it quit working so I returned it. Right now I'm using one of them little battery powered pignose, til I finish building my 5c5 Pro amp (This one's actually got 2 volumes and a tone knob so technically it's 3, but I might lose the tone control if I don't like it). If your amp sounds good to begin with, then all really need is one volume knob in my opinion. Then you can just set it to the proper volume then let your guitar take over to adjust volume/gain and tone. I hate fiddling with the knobs on the amp and can't stand the modern standard of 3 or more band eq. The cheap danelectro one. It's a clone of the uni-vibe, technically it's a phaser, but I'm going to mod it so it's a vibrato. — <img src="klzzwxh:0000"></img> Top

I use a Wasabi (Danelectro) Distortion for punk and garage sounds and it has a boost switch that works without the distortion engaged. I also like the way the single/humbucker switch makes my MIM strat sound. It's got four pre- set distortions, two are very metal sounding which i don't use but I like the "flat" position and theres a position that gets sorta thin and fuzzy. It also has a dry/ distortion mix knob that I haven't figured a good use for yet. Last Friday, I picked up one of those $15.00 Danelectro Fab Echo pedals. It's not versatile by any means but pretty decent for rockabilly and slow double picking and costs less than a new CD. Other than that, a Dunlop volume pedal placed last in the chain as "fade" pedal.

Id be interested in that mod, details please! moondevil Last Friday, I picked up one of those $15.00 Danelectro Fab Echo pedals. I recently saw the tijuana bibles live and one of the guitarists used one. sounded absolutly horrible for the way he used it, i.e. pseudo-reverb with overdrive. truely ugly, tho I imagine it would serve better as slapback echo for clean rockabilly. didn't matter, sound wasn't that important for the TB show, but I'd never use it in a surf band looking for a more trad sound.
