Evolution of my Pedal Board part 3


This was the time where my Pedalboard evolved really fast. I kept reading up on pedals and I wanted to achieve the "Steve Vai" sound in the cheapest possible way. The MXR EVH Phaser was really expensive and Steve Vai has kind of a delay in his setup. I couldn't afford a DD7 at that time and hence I've decided to try for Biyang effects. This decision was based on the fact that the TS-7 I've tried from the Biyang range was excellent for it's price range. The most important factor of the Biyang range was, it is mechanical true bypass. A feature well sought after by tone purist.

I went ahead and got myself the Phaser and Delay, Both at a really good price from Ebay and I have nothing but praise for these pedals. Even though I've already cycled them out, these pedals are still with me till this day. They are being used permanently in front of my amplifier. The phaser was being used for one of those "Bad Horsie" moments while the adding a slight analog delay to an existing reverbs creates the "For the Love of God" effect. This pedal board lasted me quite a long while. To be continued.

Evolution of my Pedal Board part 2


This is the second incarnation of my pedal board. This is the time when I actually started saving up money for "better" pedals. You can see in the picture that there are 2 new additions to the board. The Jemini and the Biyang TS7. I am a huge Steve Vai fan and as such, the Jemini is pretty much a no brainer when it came out around that time. I got it at a very nice and irresistible price from a friend. Special thanks to you if you are reading this.

The Biyang TS-7 was actually also bought second hand from him. I wanted to see what was all the rave about with Ibanez Tubescreamers and well, as a boost pedal it is really amazing. The Biyang TS-7 is actually a modified Ibanez Tubescreamer clone with boost switch and true bypass by the way.

There still a lot of Danelectro pedals, or rather all of what I've owned within the board. However most of them are sold later on when I slowly cycled out for "better" pedals. That being said, Danelectro pedals are still bang for the buck pedals with good tone. For budget guitarist,I highly recommend it. To be continued.
