Guitar pedals got bad, so now it's time to ruin this place

FYI this is a political subreddit and always has been

/r/guitarpedalsjerk is sponsored by JHS Pedals™ now that we've been through electroshock therapy.

rules:

  1. Hard pass on being some reactionary jackass, neo-nazi, incel, TERF, Trumper, etc. Fuck around and find out. It doesn't have to be actively on this subreddit. Zero tolerance for bigots and fascists.

  2. Liking JHS is banned

  3. J O A L is T O A N

  4. Placeholder reason to ban you

What would you do for a KLONdike bar?

Klon?

Klondike?

What would you do for a Klon?

I would get in ring with Tyson’s chicken and get that sweet transparent tone. That’s succulent mid frequency, that goop. I want that goop on me. In me and on me.

Don’t look at me you dirty boy.

Help me decide on which pedal to get with my birthday money

I was thinking maybe a reverb pedal because I don't have one or a delay because mine sucks.

Or should I get another drive pedal that has a slightly different EQ curve and gain staging than my other 5 in hopes this will finally be the one that inspires me to take guitar seriously?

It's a really tough choice.

Any suggestions for an EQ pedal for my EQ pedal?

I think my current EQ pedal is too mid forward. Does anyone know of an EQ pedal that can fix it?

Midi controller and pedal integration

Hello all, I am a student majoring in audio electrical engineering and am currently finishing my senior project. My project was to make a Hurdy Gurdy (medieval instrument) into a midi instrument. Most of the project was spent doing layout, coding, assembly. That part is done and I have a functioning midi controller. I have a demo at the end of the semester where I play it and show it to companies interested.

I had an idea for the demo to include guitar pedals for the performance. These effects could be done in the DAW, but it'd be cool to have pedals and physical effects for the demo. I have been STRUGGLING trying to find a way to have a midi controller work with a guitar pedals. I do not need to have the ability to record the pedal effects in the DAW, I just need the speaker/amp to output the effects. There are a bunch of things I'm unsure of such as whether I need a DI box to convert line level to instrument level, proper connections of my gear, if its even possible, etc...

My goal is to be able to play a midi instrument through my DAW and have the pedals set up so that the output of the speaker uses the effects when I enable the pedals. Honestly if 1 pedal can work with this that'd still be amazing. I will list my gear below. Any suggestions or help is muccchhh appreciated.

Gear:
Audio interface - focusrite scarlett 2i2 3rd gen
Pedals - holy grail reverb, behringer super fuzz
Output speaker - KRK rokit 5 (i can use amp if that works better)
Cables - plenty ts-ts, 4 trs-trs
DAW - FL Studio

Having internal trim pots or toggle switches is slowly becoming mandatory for any pedal I buy.

I can't give you a real reason why, but it's definitely not just because I'm easily sold on gimmicky tricks that could have just as well had accessible external options, but being able to tell people it has internal trim pots means my pedal is better than theirs.

Should be ban discussion of affordable pedals?

I'm thinking if it's not at least $100 - 150 new people should be forbidden to discuss it.

Thoughts?

Bill really just named that shit after the font he picked out, huh

Mocking up a clone I'm building and looked around for which font is closest to the one used on the Centaur. Well of course the answer was Centaur font. Duh.

If Johann Sebastian Bach was alive today, what pedals would he be using?

Would he be running his clavichord through a neural dsp?

My yard sale epiphany: Turns out no one uses pedals.

Also no one realizes Reverb is something other than a Fender amp model. 2nd also, maybe I have trash taste in gear.
