[woven quartz]

For the signal chain part, i'm currently confused on the positions of:

• Compressor
• Tuner
• Wah
• Pre-amp / Cab

As for the actual pedals, I'm still undecided on the chorus, whether I should go for the DC2-W, Jullianna, or Warped Vinyl by Chase Bliss (expensive but who cares anymore)

[slow sierra]

Tuner is essentially a passthrough that you want to put at the front of your chain so you don't try to tune with weird effects turned on

[iron ocean]

Add some overdrives and distortion?

[woven quartz]

For the Pedals:

• All Strymons

havent sent it yet mb

[slow sierra]

Preamp/cab generally goes at the end of your chain since it simulates where an amp would be

[woven quartz]

haha you guys are fast, appreciate that man

[woven quartz]

Ah yeah just changed it last minute, i'm guessing something like this?

[slow sierra]

Compressor you can try different locations but generally goes closer to the front, before your overdrives

[woven quartz]

The pedalboard itself i'm getting custom made so it can be changed

that wah though is just really awkward

[slow sierra]

I like the looper after the amp sim/cab so that you can change any settings and the recorded loop stays the same

So you can record a rhythm loop and then kick on an overdrive or modulation and the rhythm part is not affected

[woven quartz]

Yeah that is true, it was actually the original position before I posted the image

This was the original but the right side is very messy

Now its this

[slow sierra]

Wah after tuner, no?

I don't see a reason to place anything in front of the tuner, really

[woven quartz]

Yeah but I think I could have it routed underneath, honestly its weird having it in the middle

Having it like this just makes it look super spacious

I really think i'm missing something though

[slow sierra]

Overdrive?

[woven quartz]

The sunset is a dual od no?

or am I tripping heavy

[slow sierra]

Ah okay

I'd say just try all these pedals, unless you already have

[woven quartz]

Other than the strymons I havent tried the rest

but I do know that I myself would experiement a lot with chorus, I'm not sure if I'd want to buy the dimension

[wary wren]

Blues Driver 🙏

[woven quartz]

dist?

I just realized I dont have a dist

[wary wren]

Blues driver is more of an overdrive but tbh it can also go as a distortion

[woven quartz]

would I need that w the sunset? curious

[wary wren]

Hmm

I don’t know that pedal can you describe to me the sound

/it’s an overdrive right?

[woven quartz]

Yeah dual

um wait i could link a good video

[wary wren]

Alr alr

[woven quartz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81B5fYpidaI

honestly i find it sexy enough

I feel like the chorus could do better

[wary wren]

Ahh I see

Do you have a preference over digital/analog chorus

[woven quartz]

Uh wait can you quickly run it down

HAHAHHA

Ah

[wary wren]

Tbh it’s hard to describe but I’ll send you a link

[woven quartz]

Aight thanks

[wary wren]

https://youtu.be/yasBraqOHxQ?si=MV-6KlqsX1D7iMVe

[woven quartz]

Damn, its hard, I honestly have no clue. I looked at another video and saw that the digital just outperformed the analog in my ears, but in others some analog sounded better

I think i might go with an analog

fuck now i dont know lmao

[wary wren]

I know there are some pedals that switch between analog and digital chorus

So if you’re torn you can get one of those and figure out for yourself

[woven quartz]

True

Apparently julianna is one of those, but i've heard bad about it

Mobius is out of the question for me, honestly would want to spend for it, but as of the moment for one pedal its too much

[wary wren]

Ooo the Julia is very nice

Yeah ngl for one pedal it would be too much

[woven quartz]

yeah man i alr got the timeline and the bigsky yesterday lmao

[wary wren]

Lmao

[woven quartz]

This might be contrary to what I just said but

is the Warped Vinyl HiFi good?

it looks sexy but maybe its only looks

[wary wren]

I’ll check it out right now

[woven quartz]

thanks man

[woven quartz]

forgot to mention theres an MKII version

[wary wren]

Oh it sounds very pretty

Maybe it’s just the person’s playing but

It’s very very nice

[woven quartz]

it is $349 though

more with tax to my country too

[wary wren]

Damn.

[woven quartz]

wait let me calculate the remaining budget

I have like $800 left

And I got the expensive ones out the way alr so I was thinking thats enough to finish the board w/0 the pedals that affect tones

[wary wren]

Hmm

My only thoughts is perhaps a noise gate, or eq pedal

Ohh

Honestly I don’t see why not if you got the budget

[woven quartz]

Yeah same too

[wary wren]

You play j rock correct

[woven quartz]

honestly, I will play anything

from citypop to jrock to kpop to rock to blues to jazz

[wary wren]

I see

[woven quartz]

only thing I wouldn't play is hard rock (although sometimes I do) / metal

[wary wren]

Understandable

Yeah that warped vinyl pedal sounds very j rocky in a good way

That vibrato chorus mix would fit perfectly into that style

[woven quartz]

Yeah thats the description I couldnt put into words

jrock

[wary wren]

Yeah lmao

I hear it slot

A lot

[woven quartz]

ok so now we have the chorus out the way

[wary wren]

I think j rock does use majority analog chorus

Yup

[lucid fern]

usually J-rock is just overdrive and compression i'm p sure?

don't think i've heard chorus

[woven quartz]

so far we have:

• Reverb - Big Sky
• Dual OD - Sunset
• Modulation shit (delay, dtape, lofi, filter, trem) - Timeline
• Analog Chorus / Vibrato - Chase Bliss
• Looper - Ditto x2
• Wah - Hotone Soul Press II
• Tuner - Polytune Noir 3 Mini
• Compressor - Bloom Jackson Audio V2
• Pre Amp / Cab sim - ACS1

[woven quartz]

Oh nah I've heard a ton

but usually its not

[lucid fern]

oh icic, i think you're pretty much set on the pedals for almost everything though honestly

[wary wren]

Yeah chorus/vibrato is pretty popular in it

[lucid fern]

probably subtle

[woven quartz]

Wait ill send the full board, is the arrangement ok? I'm trying to get the neatest signalchain order (wah is after tuner but underneath theres spaces for wiring ofc)

I need me some boss pedals though, this board would be sick

wait i didnt update the chase

If only I had the money...

[wary wren]

I believe overdrive should be sooner in the board

What would the order of effects be

[woven quartz]

here ill do some quick 3d paint

although it might be weird

[wary wren]

Alr

[woven quartz]

just imagine it being neat with the wires underneath

There is still some space though I could fill it up with, not that I need to right now

[lucid fern]

i don't get the order of the pedals at all from this

[woven quartz]

the numbers

[lucid fern]

oh

ok icic

[woven quartz]

This is my brother's board, the gray would look smth like this (custom)

The entire thing opens so theres space below for the:

• powersupply
• conditioner (need that shit our electricity dirty)
• Wiring

are they good? @wary wren

[wary wren]

What pedal is 8

[woven quartz]

its an the preamp at the bottom here

[wary wren]

Ah

Yeah it’s good

Good order

[woven quartz]

Ayt thanks man you helped a ton, probably gonna get a dist for that extra space but that will be future future

[wary wren]

Ofc ofc anytime

I love pedals so I don’t mind talking about them

[woven quartz]

mind if I talk about smth off topic from the actual thread

pedals still

[wary wren]

Yeah ofc

What channel?

[woven quartz]

we could do it here still haha

it might be related

[wary wren]

Yeah it’ll work lmao

What is it?

[woven quartz]

theres a band called wave to earth that, for a kpop band (not bashing), has very intricate guitar effects

some of his tones I like

But his gear is no where to be found

but I do have one solid picture

[wary wren]

Lmao yeah I’ve heard of them

Hm

What’s the guitarist’s name?

[woven quartz]

daniel kim, its hard to find. Theres a youtube video that shows his name, but dont be fooled its not him at all lmao

its how I figured out abt the timeline, didnt even know it existed and was intrigued

I've been skimming through lives to find a clear shot but all the cameras point at his face

[wary wren]

https://youtu.be/t_PNp_Rsky4?si=adiEMO--L5HvMR56

Maybe this?

Oh nvm

[woven quartz]

Yeah thats the guy that I thought was him

https://youtu.be/6d5ETO1fma8?t=3740

[wary wren]

Lmao yeah

[woven quartz]

the only vid I saw of them picking up the pedals

[wary wren]

Only pedal I can guess is the poly tune

[woven quartz]

this is detective work lmao

I see that chase bliss

[iron ocean]

Woah that’s crazy rare😱

[wary wren]

Lmao yeah that’s the joke

[woven quartz]

EDIT: finding the wave to earth pedalboard (no info online)

[wary wren]

Also recently bought a new pedal

It hurt

But

Worth it

[woven quartz]

EDIT: finding a pedalboard from pictures (no info online/wavetoearth pedalboard)

[wary wren]

I’m a teenager and have no job so getting money is though and I was saving for a new amp but the pedal was too good to pass up

[woven quartz]

yeah same im actually 18 rn, just lucky my parents are goats

otherwise im broke

im not rich, my parents are, im w u dude

[wary wren]

Omg I feeel that

My parents aren’t rich but they’re def like comfortable and have spending money

Specifically my dad he’s somehow just got money

But I’m very lucky they give me money to fund my guitar stuff

Not like enough to buy a bunch of stuff but enough so that if I save for like a month or two I can buy something nice

[woven quartz]

yeah

Esp in my country working part time isnt an option, minimum wage is low

anyways back to topic

Need Pedal Detectives

I’m interested in a pedalboard by wave to earth, a kpop band. For a kpop band their music is pretty unique, guitar tones are nice imo. (also could check out the poles, same guitarist but more rocky) but I could not find a single picture or interview regarding their gear.

Theres a video of a worship pedalboard from the guitarist Daniel Kim, but that is an entirely different guitarist.

So far the only gathered info about his pedalboard is:
Daniel Kim - Guitarist

Known Pedals:

• Chase Bliss (idk)
• 69 Pedal Fulltone
• Line 6 dl4
• Mobius
• Ehx Micro Pog

VIDEO OF PEDALBOARD
https://youtu.be/6d5ETO1fma8?t=3740

[wet bramble]

There is a electohzrmonix mirco pog

[woven quartz]

Yea we found out theres a micro pog and a line 6

Would you recognize the chase bliss? closest i see is the vinyl

@wet bramble
