Tech/maintenance Pitch shift pedal for live performance - recommendations sought

[PigSquealer]

This is what I have so far. I’ve been trying to contact the player without success. What these do I have no clue. From the little I’ve read about these. The sequence order matters.

1)

2)

3)

4) still unknown
5)

6) still unknown
7)

8)

So, 4,6, 9 & 10 still need to be identified.
Hope this helps some…

Question #2

How does he sound?

Question #2

How does he sound?

Awesome. He’s been playing 24 years. 6 for the US Marine Corps. Has offers to play with touring bands but prefers home & family life. He largely earns his living as a band instrument technician.
That pedal box took years of experimenting. Indoors ,outdoor and recording studio. Loads of help from friends. Just like here.

4 is an Eventide Mixing Link, an XLR to jack preamp similar to the Voco Loco or Zorg Blow mentioned earlier.

6 looks like a Boss MD-200, containing several modulation effects such as chorus and flanger.

9 is a Boss Harmonist which changes a single note to a chord.

10 is possibly a graphic equaliser.

I have a BOSS OC-xx (can't remember the model no.) and in my brief testing it seemed to work fine. It's my understanding, however, that the POG is kind of the gold standard for octave doublers. The controls on the BOSS were kind of confusing, and the "manual" didn't help - explanations were there, but they weren't explanatory.

 

[Dr G]

Out of curiosity... To get an idea of the effects he uses, does he have a list of pedals (and pedal combinations), or is there another picture of them with a readable resolution?

Let's see what we* can recognize.

Top left>right
Boss Synthesizer SY-1, Starlight Echo Station, Strymon Blue Sky, -----4------, Radical Engineering Hot Shot

Bottom left>right
------6----------, MXR Bass Envelope Filter, ElectroHarmonix POG2, Boss Harmonist PS-6, ------10--------

*DavidK recognized the ones that I didn't know.

Interesting to piece together an idea of what the gent is aiming for with these effects

The EHX POG is great, for sure, and seems to play much nicer with mic signals than the Boss OC2, OC3, etc. Those Boss pedals sound awesome but they're really best for electric guitar and bass, and even with those they're finicky with proper pitch tracking (neck pickup, and playing high up on the neck, works best for those, they want a big fat signal to work with).

In that juicy pedalboard from our mysterious marine (I don't suppose it's Rick Parrell, is it?), the POG and Boss Harmonist would both be good options for OP to try as alternatives to the Whammy. And that Eventide box is a good alternative to the Radial box I use... something like that is really the first step, they make everything else more useable.

This thread is making me want to experiment with my gluttonous pedal collection more than I have been lately...

HornFX has some useful info.

No.

Received this message today from the accomplice. I can ask other questions if needed.

Question asked. “What combination sequence to what effect. Is it the same use for A,T,B ?”
