i’ll let my first “official” entry be about my effects pedals…

this is new: RC-2

about this little box: it really packs a whole lot into a small package. it holds 16 minutes of recording time and 11 slots to save those recorded samples to. what you do with it is basically record something you play in real time, let it play back, and then either play on top of it or overdub another line onto it. and what you put in is what it spits out, so there’s no loss in quality (at least not from what i can hear) it’s fun for sure.

this is not new: Rodenberg GAS-828

but i will be sending it back to germany to have the circuitry updated! YES!
this Rodenberg GAS pedal delivers a very satisfying smooth overdrive. it also looks damn cool!

this pedalboard is sort of new.

it’s a small size-upgrade from the 1st generation pedaltrain i used to have all my pedals sit on. the old one was a few inches short of 24 inches. this one is a full 24 inches long, which gives me just enough for another column of pedals :) this allowed me to place 2 phasers (EH Small Stone / Ibanez PH-7) in different ends of my effects chain and also allows me to include my new RC-2 loop station.

future upgrades will come in the form of modifications to 2 of my pedals (after the GAS-828 mod).

  • robert keeley’s TR-2 mod
  • analogman’s EH Small Stone mod

that’s it for now, i think.
