My rhthym guitar sound is based on the use of a 1995 Matchless Tube Pre-amp (original Hot Box before the labeling) running dual mono into a Marshall Valvestate VS232 and to a Peavey Decade, which isn't specifically depicted on the board schematics. 

To avoid any potential impedance issues with the Matchless Tube Preamp, I use a Vertex Interface buffer to assist my pedal chain as follows: running from the guitar to the Send input, from the Send out I go to the Matchless and then back into the Guitar Input of the Vertex. Then from the Guitar output (using a Vertex Y-cable), we go to both a Sonic Research Tuner ST-300 (in true bypass, on all all the time, no output use) and the split goes to a Stone Deaf PDF-1. 

I use a Lehle mono volume pedal after my gain stages to roll up or down the overall volume while maintaining the selected gain outputs (capabilities from the Matchless Preamp, a Stone Deaf PDF-1 and an MXR Fat Sugar).  From the PDF-1 we follow a basic right of passage, going from its non-expressive output to the Fat Sugar input, then out to a Subdecay custom Envelope Filter, then to the input of a GE-7 EQ (with XTS Mod).  

From the GE-7, we go to the Lehle mono volume, then on to a JHS Kill Switch input (because I love having a panic button).  From the Kill Switch we go out to a Thorpy’s CamoFlange with dual outs.  Here, using a Lehle Little Dual amp switcher to split my mono signals to one or both amps through the Vertex, we go from one flanger output to the AB input of the Little Dual and the other output of the flanger to the input of a Foxgear EchoSex Baby. The EchoSex runs out to the A input of the Little Dual. The Little Dual then feeds the two separate amplifier input channels on the Vertex interface from its respective A & B outputs, then using both separate outputs from the Vertex Interface Buffer to both my Marshall and Peavey for a mixed blend ultimately controlled by the Little Dual. 

I use a TrueTone 1Spot CS-12 to power everything except the Matchless, which has it's own built-in power cable/requirement.

Das Foxgear Echosex Baby der noch relativ jungen italienischen Marke stellt eine handliche und vor allem geldbeutelschonende Variante einer analogen Echomaschine dar, die Musikgeschichte geschrieben hat, nämlich des Binson Echorecs. Dieses Gerät hatte seinen Ursprung bereits in den 60er Jahren ebenfalls in Italien und ist auf diversen Pink Floyd- und Led Zeppelin-Aufnahmen zu hören. Längst gilt das Original als begehrtes Sammlerobjekt, das horrende Preise auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt erzielt.

FOXGEAR Echosex Baby Delay compact effect pedal is the smaller version of Guru's award-winning Echosex. This is one of the best quality stompboxes you'll find at an entry-level price.
FOXGEAR is an italian company endorsed by some huge names like Steve Lukather (Toto), Adrian Belew (King Crimson) and Phil Campbell (Motorhead)

The CAMOFLANGE Flanger MKII is here and more than a visual change we have made some internal changes too. We have adjusted the internal voltage regime to offer higher voltage (18v) and use higher headroom BBDs. Crucially though, all the magic that was the original Camoflange is still present. Designed as a collaboration with DAN COGGINS (Former LOVETONE Pedal designer) as his second modulation pedal design since his Lovetone pedal days. This fully Analog Flanger was designed from the ground up to provide the most incredibly versatile flanger sounds with a level of versatility unsurpassed in analog effects so far.

Der LEHLE LITTLE DUAL II ist der Nachfolger des Lehle Little Dual und stellt einen Amp-Switcher für zwei Amps mit höchster Signaltreue dar. Mittels Soft-Touch-Schaltern kannst du zwischen zwei angeschlossenen Verstärkern brumm- und soundverlustfrei umschalten.
Dir stehen zwei verschiedene Betriebsmodi bereit. Du entscheidest, ob du jeden Ausgang einzeln aktivieren und deaktivieren willst oder klassisch hin- und herschalten möchtest und den jeweils anderen hinzufügen oder entfernen.

The LEHLE LITTLE DUAL is the LEHLE DUAL SGOS's little sister, a maximum signal-fidelity amp switcher for two amps. Both amps are activated simultaneously using the left footswitch, while the right is used to switch back and forth between them. High-intensity LEDs make it easy to read off switching state A or B, or A and B, even under high-power spots.

Little Dual II

The MXR Fat Sugar Drive brings the Sugar Drive’s diverse range of clear and transparent overdrive tones to MXR’s classic housing for players who prefer its footprint over that of the mini.

This pedal’s versatility comes from its unique Drive control—which replicates an amp’s transition from clean to dirty by blending your clean signal at the start of the sweep—and a little something called a voltage doubler, which increases overall headroom and opens up the sound of the pedal. Together, these elements allow you to serve up everything from a sauced-up boost to full-on blow-tube distortion.

The Fat Sugar Drive is set for true bypass by default, but for the tonal purists who want buffered bypass instead, just remove the bottom plate and flick the internal Buffer switch, close it up, and get to playing. This special edition comes with a custom pink sparkle finish.

The Gurgle and Moan is an envelope filter effect. This is a prototype pedal, and it does have some quirks and rough edges. On a few of them that we have built they oscillate with the resonance knob cranked. Also there is a bit of a "gurgle" in the background due to some crosstalk issues with the control voltage circuitry. I thought it sounded cool, although it may not be what everyone wants in a filter. 

This is a prototype pedal, and has no artwork, or labeling on the face of the pedal. There is a sticker on the back with a brief explanation of what the knobs do.

Controls
Lower right knob: Shape - Varies the shape of the filter from band pass or low pass.
Lower left knob: Resonance - Accents the cut off frequency of the filter. (At max setting it may oscillate)
Upper right knob: Depth- Varies how far your playing dynamics will modulate the filter cutoff frequency.
Upper left knob: Frequency - Varies the cut off frequency of the filter

Warranty: If it ever breaks send it back to us and we will fix it, unfortunately we no longer cover polar bear attacks, alien abduction, willfully destroyed pedals, or any claims involving time travel or toaster repair.

This pedal can be powered by a 9V battery or a standard boss style barrel plug adaptor. Has an LED, True bypass, and a powder coated finish for durability.

Wenn Burkhard Lehle etwas baut, dann richtig und ohne Kompromisse. Mit seinem Mono Volume Pedal hat er ein High End Pedal ohne die sonst bei Volumenpedalen auftretenden Nachteile konstruiert. Es wird kein mechanisches Poti verwendet - das Mono Volume arbeitet mit einem Magnet Sensor der ein hochwertiges VCA steuert. Dadurch ist der gesammte Regelbereich gleichmäßig und ohne Klangverlust, Verschleiß und Potikratzen gehören der Vergangenheit an. Desweiteren besteht die Möglichkeit, das Ausgangssignal um bis zu 10 dB zu boosten. Das Pedal läuft sehr gleichmäßig und ruhig, da die Pedalwippe in Low Friction Polymer Gleitlagern läuft. Zusätzlich steht ein gebufferter Direkt Out zur Verfügung der als Tuner Out oder zur Weiterleitung an weiteres Equipment genutzt werden kann. Das Pedal läßt sich durch den niederohmigen Ausgang auch in einem seriellen FX Loops eines Amps betreiben.

When Burkhard Lehle builds something, he does it properly and without compromise. With his Mono Volume Pedal, he has constructed a high-end pedal without the disadvantages that usually occur with volume pedals. No mechanical potentiometer is used - the Mono Volume works with a magnetic sensor that controls a high-quality VCA. This means that the entire control range is even and without loss of sound, wear and potentiometer scratching are a thing of the past. There is also the option of boosting the output signal by up to 10 dB. The pedal runs very evenly and quietly because the pedal rocker runs on low friction polymer plain bearings. There is also a buffered direct out that can be used as a tuner out or for forwarding to other equipment. The pedal can also be operated in a serial FX loop of an amp thanks to the low-impedance output.

Featuring a unique circuit design, the MXR FET Driver captures the rich, creamy sound of an overdriven tube amplifier by cascading an op-amp gain stage into a FET stage. The FET Driver thickens up lead tones with musical, amp-like distortion and sustain without the fragility and inconsistency associated with tubes.

The FET Driver features a simple but responsive set of controls. Set your volume level with the Output control, and then use the Drive control to dial in the grit, from subtle soft-clipping to early stage distortion. Fine tune the FET Driver’s sound by tweaking Hi and Lo boost/cut controls, and push the Hi Cut switch to roll off high end frequencies when playing in high volume situations where excess noise is apparent.

The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal captures the tones of those amps in a single pedal so that you can dial in your own variations of that famous Dookie sound. We borrowed his amps so that the MXR team could carefully analyze all the sonic qualities that make them sound so darn good. After much analysis and A/B testing, our engineers rebuilt the amps from scratch in pedal circuit form and fit them into a single housing. The High Gain and Crunch Gain sections each have their own controls, while the Blend control allows you to mix them together just like Green Day did in the studio. If you want some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.

The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal isn’t just for Green Day fans—it’s a totally unique pedal that provides a full harmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension. This special edition features an all-new finish to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie’s monumental release in 1994.

Ambient soundscapers and tonal experimenters rejoice, the MXR Layers lands to offer new angles on classic sustain effect formulas. Cool and compact, this pedal matches thoughtful MXR design with exceptional tonality to result in outstanding sustain effect equations.

Layers bases its main experience off a threefold sustain effect that deals in, its namesake, layers. Three onboard sustain layers play concurrently to one another to fashion complex and interesting weaves of notes, as triggered by a variety of methods. By utilizing the dedicated footswitch, Layers can be played manually to sustain notes or remotely by playing dynamics. The pedal’s Trigger knob control can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic trigger sustain function or disable it altogether to offer early insight into this pedal’s options of interactivity.
