Pedal stacking ideas for the 20th Ann Dual Drive Pedal Poll

The Echoplex Preamp is one side of it. What is the other?

the Bias /Pre ?? like the one you have ??

I like that one, but even just a EP Booster style would probably work fine.

I'm not a huge fan of the EP booster really .... I can't remember if I ever tried stacking it

It's not an all out boost. It's just a flavor enhancer. It's like lemon juice: You don't drink it straight, you put a splash in your pan sauce to brighten up a dish. I dial it in to where you don't notice it when you kick it on, but definitely miss it when it's off. It adds a warm saturation that I can't live without.

The boost side of the “Rocket Fuel”(which is, as I understand it, modeled after a PQ-3 used as a boost), and the “Mr.Scary” circuit side of the “Mr.Scary Time Machine Boost”.

Zendrive + SD-1

Zendrive + SD-1

Didn't think about the Zendrive, but what a great pedal. Love it boosted with a Klone style too.

The PQ3 as one side of this pedal would be next level/sauce or no sauce...

 

[blackba]

I think this thread needs a poll

 

[Mike Oxhuge]

Yeah pq3 for half would be awesome

 

[Exo-metal]

808/PQ3

 

[rsm]

zendrive with 5-band, semi-parametric EQ (low and high fixed center, with boost and cut; low-mid, mid, and high-mid fully parametric) would be interesting.

The J. Rockett Melody OD has a 6-band graphic EQ and OD in a single pedal.

I have pre-EQ and a post-semi parametric EQ in my ISP Theta Pro Michael Sweet gear, reminds me of the old ADA MP-2 (which I still have)


FWIW, my Fractal VP4 has a Zendrive and GEQ/PEQ blocks; so I'm not the target customer for this pedal.

 

[Exo-metal]

RSM, you're fired...

What is the Japetus pedal? People could like that, but it is wild in terms of options.

It's just a pretty standard OD in the realm of a Timmy ... 808 ... SD-1 .... but like you mentioned .... as many options as a OD can get including two footswitchable gain channels ...8 different diode type / configurations .... 8 different clipping bandwidth options .... and a separate clean boost that comes after the OD that can be utilized by itself ... IMO that would be perfect for the 20th .... I should just run that and call it a day ...

I just look at it as a studio pedal, it can do a ton but...if you are running a fender clean you can dial in a nice OD and then a matching boost. It's not a chugga pedal but has a lot of colors of OD options.

It needs some kitchen oven knobs, a goad finish, and a few extra toggelz IMO.
