Rockabilly Pedals?

[Jamforthelamb]

Hey All,
I've been working on some decidedly "noisy" pedals of late, but one of my main guitar loves is rockabilly music. Can anyone suggest some builds for some good rockabilly effects pedals. OD, dist, tremolo, and slap back echo would be cool(not all in one pedal obviously). I'm looking first, and for most for a good dist./OD to start with. Anything that would work for surf is good too (my other love =) ).

Thanks,
JFTL

Treble booster?...
I guess a good standard delay can respond to rockabilly quite good.
listen to the PT80 sound samples at www.generalguitargadgets.com

I'm a rockabilly player too.
I have found good use of my Orange Squeezer compressor.
Good luck.

I'll second a vote for compression.  Alittle echo and reverb are cool too.

My favourite rock a billy guitar player was Paul Burlison of the Johnny Burnette Rock n Roll Trio. The solos he put down in the mid 50s were years ahead of his time. I think that sadly he is dead now. I could detect a little slapback echo on those old recordings.

Can't do Rockabilly without slapback .

[Jamforthelamb]

Amen!
I'm thinking of building an orange squeezer, and pt-80 for starters, and then we'll see where else it goes.

Thanks everyone!

Man, I'm glad I found this thread. 
Now I'm gonna hijack it...  apologies...

Those Burnette recordings.  I'll second that.  I don't know who played on what, but
between "sweet love on my mind" and "train kept a rollin'" that's pretty much the tone I'm looking for (and hell, I'll throw Link Wray on "Fat Back" in there too since I just heard it).

What amps are you guys running?  I've got a 20 watt SS Peavey and I have a pretty hard time getting any good sound out of it what so ever...  though I tend to play quietly to myself in an apartment.

If I could put something in front of it that would help.

Short of building a tube amp, how can I get that sound?

I'm thinking of building a Ruby (runoffgroove.com) [with integrated trem and echo circuits].
Anybody ever tried to get a rockabilly tone out of the stock model?

BTW, I'm playing an Artcore AFS75TD.

Boss Blues Driver.  I know that The Reverend Horton Heat has at least one of these on his board.

treble boosters and even regular boosters always get me in that 50's frame... something about how they feel or maybee how they recorded guitars way back then... less bandwidth? that bright treble bite and some slapback... love my muffmaster , gotta build a rangemaster one day soon!
