rokeros Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hey do any know suppliers who makes excellent/decent guitar pedals at low costs. Stuff that copy famous pedals e.g. TS-808 and the EA Tremolo etc. But with a profidable price tag of maybe <$100 US, cos I am very interested to know in building my rig. The only one I know of is http://www.do-in-music.com/Do-In-Products_English.htm Some of you may have seen me mention it in the past. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 There's probably a bunch of people that can help you out on DIY Stompboxes. I'm sure there's a gaggle of builders that can make a clone of anything for you. http://diystompboxes.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 of course theres also quite a few people from diystompboxes.com that hang out here. Paul ansil LoveKraft and a whole slew of others. if you want to build your own rig be prepared to learn and shell out alot of cash unless you are super good at getting freebies [i am good at it and i still shelled out alot of cash over the years. and i have gotten free mother boards and cpu's] if you want someone to build your stuff then well there are as stated tons of people on the diy board. ciao ansil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 If you're after things like a tube screamer, make one yourself! you can modify them and its one hell of a lot more satisfyin than buying one (www.tonepad.com is a good start ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'd like to build a Tube Screamer, if it's hella easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Behringer have a large range of very cheap pedals in plastic boxes. I have not got any, but reviews are good, or bad when they break. Theres a discussion here: http://guitarnuts2.proboards45.com/index.c...read=1134460609 John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 The behringer distortion modeler is good, theres some nice tones to be had there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokeros Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I've already build a TS-808. But I don't have the time and patience or torlerence to carry on. Because the tube screamer pissed me off by not working! So then I rewired the perfboard again so then suddenly the transistors died when I transplanted boards, so etcetcetcetc.....NOw I don't want to build. Just buy and play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalo1022 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 the digitech Bad Monkey isnt too bad of a pedal forthe money same price as a DS-1 much better sound, sorta tube screamerish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Buy a Boss processor. Plug 'n play, common patches already set up. It'll also run you a lot less that a passle of pedals, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javacody Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 The danelectro pedals are allright. Also, a TS7 ibanez tubescreamer is only like $50 on ebay? Hell, I've bought a couple old TS5's for about $20 and modded them to TS808 specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Its all about what you want really though. If you want the satisfaction of saying... 'yes.. i made that tube screamer a-like that sounds better than one you can buy' then make one, if not, dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
