Ran out of pedals, what next?

[GLPE]

Well, in the past two days I have modded my TS9DX, my BD2, and my TR3. All I have left is a boss e.q. pedal, a boss DD5 delay, a boss CS1 compressor/sustainer, boss CE2 chorus and a Tech 21 killer wail wah. I dont know what do do next, any suggestions?
I just started this about 3 days ago, this is going to be an awesome hobby.
Thank yall for all the info and knowledge.
This forum has helped greatly.
Thanks,
David

Build a pedal.

try your first 18 Watts valve-/tube amp! :wink:

David,

How about a Ross Phaser with Univibe mods from Mark Hammer.

It is a lot of bang for the buck.  Plus, it doesn't look like you have a phaser in your arsenal.

HTH,

Derek

Re-evaluate a system starting at one end of the chain?

I think a lot of people mod their BOSS Eq pedal (assuming its the GE-7), so it looks like you have one left to do in your rig. However, it's probably more fun to build your own pedal from scratch.

The modded Ross Phaser is an excellent suggestion, given what you currently have.

Hwever, given your current complement of pedals, I think something more, mmmm, "calculating" is in order, like some type of loop selector or splitter/blender.  That is, something that lets you use what you have in interesting and unusual ways.

The Sky's the limit! It really depends on what you're looking for in your arsenal, and what your degree of expertise is. If you've never built anything from scratch, something like a phaser is a pretty intense first project. I like fuzz pedals, so there is only about 5 million more I need to build. One of the most universal pedals I have built lately that I highly reccomend, is Tim Escobedo's Tripple Fuzz. It has a huge variety of tones, and it's fairly simple. Tim has a gob of circuits over there, and several sound samples. Runoffgroove has a lot of great stuff, including another great circuit I just built, called the 3 Legged Dog. It's a tube sound OD/fuzz, and really brings a solid state amp to life. I think you'll probably have to narrow it down some as to what you would like to have before we can really suggest much.

What to do after mod'ing a pedal?  Document it.  Type up what you did,  add drawings and pictures, convert to a PDF file, and post it to the web.  Also try mapping the schematic.  
  When I get a new pedal,  I open it and put the circuit board trace side down on a flatbed document scanner.  Then I scan the circuit board at high resolution like 600 DPI.  Adjust the colors (with GIMP, PaintShopPro, or PhotoShop) until the traces are visible.   Use text to add notes and tell what the components are between the solder pads.  Use flood fill in different colors for the power and ground traces that go throughout the circuit.   Draw a schematic by hand if there is no schematic capture program (like Eagle -free demo) available.   Scan the hand schematic high res black/white and post it on the web.
