Besides my tank, I own one lonely EHX Metal Muff Nano. Scored it off of the bay for $16.50. Sounds surprisingly good for those rare times I metal out (ie. mainly when my Slipknot-lovin 13 y/o nephew comes to visit, who is not impressed with my Ventures licks), and I discovered it was true bypass when I added it to my signal chain without power, and still got a lovely sound. Makes my Bassman sound like a Mesa, actually. I would have loved this thing more than my Rat, Boss Heavy Metal & Rockman combined back in the day. I'm not a big effects user at all, but future acquisitions might include a used MXR Carbon Copy, Voodoo Labs tremolo & chorus, a Fulltone Fulldrive II and possibly a Bud-wah if I can find the right deals. — |

You can 't go wrong with the FD2, when I got my Pork Loin in Jan, the Fulldrive pretty much got ignored. The Phantomatics on Facebook |

I know they have to be pretty nice, they've been pretty difficult to find used for less than $100. That actually goes for most of the other ones I mentioned too... none of them are really "needs" anyway, so I can wait. — |

I enjoy seeing that Dava pick on top of your amp. Aren't they the best picks ever?! I have used them for years and hope they never stop making them. |

Yeah, they're definitely the bee's knees, very versatile... lately I've felt compelled to try a set of those Dunlop Gel Picks though. I'm just never satisfied for long... — |

Boss Tuner. Ashbass Fuzzbrite. I own the Boss FRV-1, but I replaced it with the reverb unit. |

Voodoo lab Sparkle drive I buy and sell some pedals from time to time, but this setup lives for several years already, so I think It's works pretty good for me) However I plan to buy Xotic AC plus and Strymon Flint to have more of everything) —Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com |

Erm, gearoholics unite! Let's don't talk about what pedals we own(ed). That list would be very long and possibly very sad. BUT after plenty of years and pedals it comes down to: Tuner, Volume Pedal (for tuner out), Xotic EP Booster, Spaceman Saturn V Booster (different color than the EP), Flint, El Capistan, that's it. I quit all the other bands and projects to do what I want to do the most - Surf Music. If I'd ever go back to rock/punk/pop, I'd surely build a different board, but for surf you don't need anything else than the effects listed above, IMHO. — |

With the 'Verb I've used Guyatone Flip VT-X(an awesome tube tremolo), Boss DM-2, Boss Space Echo, Boss TU-2, Tubescreamer as a boost. But now I just use the TU-2 live, boosts are done via volume knob. I have that amazing looking Twin Peaks tremolo arriving any day! I also own a big box Rat, Fuzz Face clone, Z-Vex Fuzz Factory(old one), Digitech Reverb, Boss RV-5, MXR Chorus, POG(which I love), Boss DD-7?, and a graphic equalizer. Mostly the Tremolo, Rat, POG, and a delay for my RARE non-surf playing. |

It is the best digital Reverb (I'm talking about spring reverb, of course) out there right now PLUS you get the nice Brown- and Blackface Trem in one box. Worth every cent. — |

Here's what I use, more or less... The Metal Zone was on there 'cos I needed a thin fuzz sound for a recording session and I had nothing else at hand at the time, it has since been replaced by a Nano Big Muff.
