I've gotta go with my Pro Co Rat pedal. That & my Phase 90.
I'm looking to get something else soon...maybe an echo effect or something....

"Honey, my shirt got itself torn up. My shirt tore itself on that stripper's hand, and I need it to be sewed up for the show."
"No problem, Dave, no problem. Say hello to Fluffy."
"Fuck you, Fluffy."
"No, no, you're going to upset Fluffy."
"I ain't saying hello to no stuffed bear."
"You know, now that I think about it, it's going to take a little longer to sew up that shirt than I was thinking."
"Hi Fluffy, how you been?"
"Now that I'm thinking of it even more, it's going to take half the time, Double D, Diamond Dave! Would you hold Fluffy?"
"N--- yeah."
That Rat Deucetone looks interseting...
Ive got a Line6 Pod which is ok. Plus various BOSS
pedals and even an old Ibanez Tube Screamer..
I still prefer the sound of a good humbucker
plugged directly into a distorting Marshall over any
of the effects units Ive tried.
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!
MXR Phase 90. Simple, and yet all the sound you want.
"FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN' BITCH! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ANYWAYS? TALK TO ME LIKE THAT? FUCK YOU. DRAG QUEEN LOOKIN' WHORE- YOU AINT SHIT. YOUR THE FRECKLE TO THE LEFT OF MY BROWN EYE. NOW GO MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL...OH, PUT DAD ON THE PHONE"

Hmmm, I probably use my Vox wah more than any other pedal. Got a Classic Rat which is ok, a Tube Screamer, and an old Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal, which is probably my favorite distortion. My favorite flanger is of course my MXR M117.
Brownsound1, you sound like you got the same pedals as me. I dont have the Rat, but Ive got the Tube Screamer (Ibanez) and the BOSS HM2. The HM2 is pretty nasty (as in major distortion achieveable !!)
I would only ever use that sucker in lead breaks. Tube screamer is good for rhythm work at lower volumes with the Marshall..
Thats the one. I use that and a Dunlop wah, with a stereo flanger and MT Zone distrtion. Im leaning towards a stereo chorus, tremelo (if the sound produced is what im after- ala white stripes) and an octave.
Those stereo chorus pedals can be fun if you got the two amps happening !
I'm still in rack unit mode...all of my stomp boxes are old and don't work very well anymore so they have been retired to a box in the closet.
You're absolutely right, the Tube Screamer can give you a kick arse rhythm tone, and the HM-2 really can push you over the top. Glad to see I'm not the only HM-2 fan around here.Originally posted by Panamark

omae baka dana?
Are you happy with it ? Are you cranking out Unchained through it ?
(Im assuming its a flanger type pedal ?)
Lots of people recommend it..
I 100% happy with it. Lovely warm sounding phaser.
I think it's the pedal Eddie actually used on the first 4 records. It rocks. Don't know whether I want to try the R28 mod they talk about on that link you provided earlier. Seems a bit brutal particularly since I like the sound straight out of the box.
..he said box
uhuhuhuhu
Im going to have to buy me one of these. I think Im only one here that doesnt own one !!
Ed doesn't use the Phase 90 on Unchained. On that he uses an MXR M117 flanger.
Damn!!
I bought the wrong pedal!!!!! Reading the Jim Dunlop promo stuff that came with the pedal they don't make that particular pedal at the moment.
It's still damn good though.
They made it for a while, but I noticed they discontinued it as well. You can find ORIGINAL MXR flangers on Ebay for about the same price. The big difference is they don't run on 9volt batteries, and don't have an LED on them like the Dunlop version did. The original flanger is a tank, that runs on 120vac, and I'm sure there are some European versions out as well. Kind of cool to have a pedal that has a power chord on it as big as my amp does.
Great, another possible method of electrocution!
The only MXR pedals they make at the moment are:
M101 MXR Phase 90
M102 MXR Dyna Comp
M103 MXR Blue Box
M104 MXR Distortion+
M107 MXR Phase 100
M109 MXR 6B Graphic EQ
M133 MXR Micro Amp
I'm really surprised they quit making the MXR M117 reissue...it is certainly a more infamous pedal than some of those.

For recording and playing live.
You can control feedback at low volumes. The tone is amazing.
You get a warm sounding distorted tone and can tweak the thing to your preferences.
Far as I know, the phase 90 is only audable on VH 1 and 2. He dove staright into over drives and flangers after 1980.Originally posted by Brownsound1

I just put a bid in on a Boss DD6 Digital Delay. Bid started at $20 Us.
Nobody outbid me!
I can hear it on the other albums, but it is very subtle. I've never heard of him using an overdrive except with Van Hagar...and that was only to boost his signal going into his Crybaby. He went with a lot of harmonizer and chorus type effects during the Gahar years too. The last of the "brown sound" was on 1984.Originally posted by Big Troubles

I can swear that overdrive was used on some of the tracks on VH1 and WACF no? some of those notes Ed hits are pretty low.
yeah I can hear some phase shifting on a few songs after VH2, nothing major though. He really started to dig his Flanger I believe.
so am i right in thinking the MXR90 was used on ATBL and atomic punk?
No, Ed used a flanger on those tunes. Actually on Atomic Punk he used the Phase 90 for the scratching part at the beginning and after the solo, and then on the verse he used a flanger. ATBL is straight flanger all the way through.
I can't hear an overdrive on any of that early stuff. When you've got a Variac kicking the voltage up on a Plexi, then you don't need an overdrive. Plus, Ed said he couldn't stand the sound of distortion pedals, and from the pics I've seen of his early rig, he didn't use one. In fact his tone gets less distorted with each consecutive album. All of that stuff is 100% Marshall Plexi tone.
yes, pahse 90 on Atomic Punk for sure. But the ATBL using a flanger? I have trouble fattening my chords with my Flanger. It's too "cosmic" or "stereo". Eddy was using original shit, and I think it was a better cleaner sound. check it out:
http://guitargeek.com/rigview/258/
he's got 4 pedals there. 1 phase shifter, overdrive, octave and original flanger. Then stacks.
..my fave stomp box is your fragile ego
my "fragile ego" is your favorite stomp box? I suppose that would hurt my feelings a little, if it made any sense at all. But um, whatever you say man.
..better ?
..i'm the gratest !
in that context is come spelt like that?
Yeah, I mentioned him using an overdrive to boost his Crybaby signal...but that is the rig has Van Hagar written all over it. Ed did not use a distortion pedal in the Dave years.
On ATBL, you have to watch how much depth (width on the MXR) and regeneration you have cranked or you will get that metallic pipe sound. It definately isn't an over the top flange by any means...more of a "combing" effect than a jet plane flange.
cool. good to know. I think I will tweak my shit a bit more.
I agree, I think that link showed Ed's gear in the 85 and up years. Too much stack for the older days too.
now, I want a chorus pedal. Boss CH-1 does seem to be the route to take. Whats your take on this? I want that clean, poppy sound...Like Nazareth uses in Love Hurts. That sound right? And I know Ed used the Chrous alot early on as well.
I've got a Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble and that does the trick for me. I've never made use of the stereo output so I can't comment on how good/bad that sounds.
