Pedals of Doom

[Makeshiftatomsmasher]

Does it doom? Youtube channel is good for pedal & Amp demos.

My top tip is trying muff before Battlehammer. That way it shouldn't have as much affect on the amp. It's also my preferred order these days.

I've the Muff/Battlehammer combo working the way I need to now and I'm delighted with it.

I'm going to be a dickhead and throw in an unasked for option that's possibly worth a thought.  Fuck buying pedals that sound huge and makes you sound like every other band currently clogging up the doom scene.  Use your amp,  get it sounding as good and filthy as you can,  maybe some added distortion if needed,  and plough on.  Amp and pedal worship is grand,  effects are cool no doubt,  but I think there has been an over emphasis and thus a standardisation of style because of that when really what we need at this stage to prevent doom from becoming (remaining?) utterly irrelevant is for bands to write interesting and unique songs again.  Apologies for interrupting, I'll go back to whinging in the pet peeves thread

I just like talking about pedals. Couldn't give two fucks about Doom.

[Eoin McLove]

To be sure.  Nothing against them per se, and they are definitely useful,  but I think doom has become a casualty of the LOUDNESS WAR!

[Pentagrimes]

Ah absolutely, I go clean on the amp though so I can have moments without any dirt at all, and use the pedals as different gain or tonal stages which is what I reckon you should be using them for. Then I have the Battlehammer working as a bit of grit or the sort of "Amp" distortion if you like, and then the Muff for the moments where things kick off into Heft City.

There's what you want now, a snip at a mere €650

I can already hear Andy frothing at the mouth...

Saw that. Awful shitehawkery.

Not sure how much these were originally priced at but they're certainly going for that on Reverb. I've seen people trying to just sell the box without the pedal for 50 quid.

You'd want to be either remarkably confident or utterly delusional man to think SunnO))) have enough of a clout in Ireland that you'd get 650 for that onfucking Adverts.ie

[Emphyrio]

Think they were in or around $200. They were snapped up and almost immediately there was a rake of them on Reverb. But ya, Adverts at €650, I doubt it.

Think they were 249 dollars plus 50 shipping plus duty so about 350 by the time it got to Ireland.  I made a replica for a lad and it sounds good but not that good. Octav into Batlehammer is way better and heavier..

I used to use the Black Arts Pharoah for a number of years in Mortichnia and it is great. Stays big but clear no matter how big the chords are or how low you tune.

I ran it both as a fuzz and also in a Tubescreamer style boosting an amp and it did both of them very well.

Hi lads, I've never been much of a pedal guy but I've been getting more interested in them recently and I thought this year I might try to put a pedalboard together as I'm starting a doom/stoner rock-ish project with a mate (our idea was Sabbath meets Floyd, even if none of our music sounds like either other than being fuzzy and a bit proggy  ).

I already have a crybaby wah and russian big muff, and I'm going to get a MXR phase 90 soon.

I'm looking at getting a delay, overdrive and maybe a reverb pedal as my amp doesn't have reverb. For delay I've been looking at a MXR carbon copy which seems pretty good.

For overdrive, I'm looking for something that would be good for driving the fuzz during lead parts but also sound good on it's own during 'chiller' parts, the tube-screamer seems popular used as a boost but I'm not mad on how it sounds on it's own.

If anyone has any recommendations they would be appreciated!

The MXR Micro Amp is a good option to drive an already driven sound without adding too much of it's own character or taking away from the tone you've dialled in. The Electro Harmonix Soul Food is a Klon copy which is a different flavour of drive to the Tubescreamer style but operates the same as a TS (I.e Drive, Tone and Level knobs, driving into an overdriven sound).

If you've got a bit more cash then the EarthQuaker Devices Aacapulco gold is very nice. Its sort of a "Sunn Model T" Drive section in a Pedal and is super loud.
