Pedal Playground

PedalPlayground.com is an interactive planning tool for planning your guitar effects pedalboard.

This is it! 2026 board. Don't see myself swapping anything out. Analog signal never gets converted again post-wireless. Can be played ad-hoc, or with extremely specific programming. Don't know of any pedals that have the same combo of attributes—inspiring sounds, ease of use, audio fidelity, midi flexibility, genre flexibility.

Opened up my Muff Pi 2 to see what's inside. Rather pretty.

The board mounts via the pots and the switch. I didn't get a good look at the components, because I didn't want to remove the knobs and all to release it.

Are pretty much all modern modulation and delay pedals built around the FV-1 chip?

That seems like all websites being wordpress sites.

Or all kit cars in the 70's being built over VW Beetles.

I thought it was the new Muff 2, but it's the delay I ordered a while ago to fill in for my Digitech PDS2020.

First thoughts:

It's not the same animal at all. The old pedal went to 2 seconds and the modulation went wider, for stupidly psychedelic dooown dooooown uup up upupupupuppppp sounds - and it had a repeat hold.

This has a max 1 second, tap tempo, whooshes great when you crank the time knob, and is more hi-fi (what a difference 40 years makes).

Dag. Dopamine rush. Why am I so susceptible? Anyhoo, new pedal coming.

I just #GAS bought the new JHS Big Muff 2 two op-amp thing.
I figure it will have good resale value.

Meanwhile, I heard about a new Crazy Tube Circuits dual pedal that's one side an Orange amp-in-a-box, and the other side "inspired by" a FranTone Peach Fuzz, which I think means "we're not paying her." I like Fran. I hope they pay her.

The folks who made the wild filter pedal I got a while ago are having a 15% off sale, with code HOLIDAY25
I got the Active Acid and am very happy with it. It's a synth VCF section in a pedal, with LFOs, envelope, and expression pedal control.
It goes BWAO, BWAOWAOWAOWAO, and stuff like that.

Trying to play along to Lofi through this thing's ring modulator.
No clean blend.
So far, I've established that playing higher notes makes higher pitches come out. Mostly.

What classic fuzz does the Foxx Tone Machine resemble the most when it's in non-octave mode?

Is it based on an earlier fuzz circuit?

I have a WA Foxy Tone Box, a muff, and a fuzz face, and it's deffo not the same as they are... I think?

So, is it a Tone Bender with a few extra components?

#GearSquad #EffectPedals

Yeah, so JHS close-out half-off Legends of Fuzz - face, bender, pi, shinei, a couple I don't know.
Today at noon East Coast time until they're gone - probably about five minutes of unresponsive shopping cart later.
If you buy one, you can probably recoup your $$$ on Reverb later.
Here's the live stream link, FWIW:
