Effects Pedals - #18 - Yamaha Nathan East Parametric EQ

Number 18, yup another EQ pedal......Yamaha NE-1

i wonder why......i thought i already decided i didn't need an EQ pedal after gettin' the MXR 6-band....?

Maybe 'cause of the shiny exterior..? or the cheap price? maybe both..

i really can't remember why i bought this pedal :P

but it work pretty well, for both Bass & Guitar, the "Shallow" & "Deep" modes are great for different tones..

Effect Pedals - #17 - Zoom Fire 7010

My 17th pedal, is a small multieffects pedal with its very own built-in amplifier/speaker & even a footswitch! Zoom Fire 7010

This pedal was released more than 10years ago...most of you probably never seen this before

It has the best distortion effect i've heard from multieffects, 'cause the distortion section is analog circuitry while the modulations are digital (if i remember correctly..)

i had alot of fun with this little guy during my "national enslavement"..helped keep me occupied at night in camp, i'm one of the many unfortunate ones who only got to book-out of camp on weekends...

After ORD, i played with it lesser....so i let it go...

Effect Pedals - #16 - Jim Dunlop Crybaby 535Q

What? another Crybaby 535Q??

No i'm not using 2 Crybabies together..

my old one was kinda faulty so i got another..

Effect Pedals - #15 - Ibanez TS9DX

My 15th pedal, is the Ibanez Turbo Tubescreamer TS9DX.

I guess every guitarist will own a variant of the famous Ibanez Tubescreamer some time or another, i'm no exception.

Besides the Boss DS1 & MT2, this is probably the most talked about pedal...(sidenote: believe it or not i have never owned or played a Boss DS1 pedal...yes never! amazing isn't it?)

Ok back to the TS9DX, to be honest i only use the classic TS9 mode on this pedal, i feel the Turbo mode boosts the mids too much..the classic TS9 mode gives a very nice tubey tone that this pedal is known for.

REAPER

REAPER is a fully featured multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing, and mastering environment.

It is the best "free" (you can pay to get rid of the nag screen, but it really isn't a big deal) recording software i've come across, and it is also the only software to have regular upgrades available for download...

REAPER can be downloaded here:

Famous PedalBoards -> John Frusciante [Red Hot Chili Peppers]

Been listenin' to John Frusciante's solo stuff lately...the more recent stuff like "Inside the Emptiness" & "Curtains" are pretty good, but i'd skip his 1997 album "Smile From the Streets You Hold" (the vocals are too weird)....

was wondering what gear he uses, and this is what i found....
