Now there's a dude who likes his Catalinbread stuff. How do you like the Topanga? I keep a Holy Grail on my board, because I manage to break the spring reverb in my amp several times per year. I'm hoping to find a better alternative to it. I really like it. I do not have spring tank or can not carry amp, so it's a great solution. However, as mentioned by many users, it's not the most authentic sounding reverb, more like a bit of reverb/slapback. But I do not care about "authentic sound", because true authentic sound is only a real tank. And what I like about topanga, it sits well in mix, and feels great to play with it, very dynamic pedal.

Japan fender start '54 with soft V-shape, and shell pink color. It's really worn, but lightweight and feels great. I set fat 50s pickups. On the next week I'll change frets, tuners and wiring with Emerson pre-wired kit and do some better photos of this guitar. I hope, that then it would be even better. Top

ArabSpringReverb Joined: Jul 13, 2012 Posts: 490 San Diego CA	Posted on Apr 22 2017 04:01 PM No I dont have a pedal board but should get one .. I usually use a couple of pedals Boss Tuner > Xotic RC boost > tank > sometimes a splitter > amp(s) . I could just use a clip on tuner I think I dont have a board because Id get tempted to fill it and use everything ...I have plenty of pedals that I use foolin around the house Top

I'm just a basement player right now and goofing off. Despite all that crap on the board, I use the Adineko, Belle Epoch, Topanga, (Catalinbread whore!) and East River Drive the most through a Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb. — Either you surf, or you fight.

stratdancer Joined: Dec 11, 2013 Posts: 2537 Akron, Ohio	Posted on Nov 24 2017 06:23 AM My latest incarnation. Notice the blue pedal with the tiki head on it. This is a custom built clean boost based on the Bearfoot boost. This more than the EP Boost ignites drip and it's always on. Although the EP is a great boost it actually diminishes the drip the blue pedal creates. The metal box on the top left is a vintage phase 100 that I only use when playing crunch through my British stacks and not in my chain for surf. — The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 https://thekahunakings.bandcamp.com/releases Top
WoodyJ Joined: Apr 05, 2006 Posts: 1544 Bethlehem, GA	Posted on Nov 24 2017 09:25 AM For guitar, just the bare essentials - backup reverb, analog delay, Tube Screamer and a tuner. For bass, usually no pedals depending on the amp. Occasionally I'll use a small board with a MXR compressor, Boss bass EQ, tuner. Works great with a Showman due to their limited EQ capabilities. The EQ has a boost slider as well. — Jack Booth (aka WoodyJ) The Mariners (1964-68, 1996-2005) The Hula Hounds (1996-current) The X-Rays (1997-2004) The Surge!
