Not exactly what you're looking for, but these are the best pedals in the entire world:

 

http://www.digitech.com/en-US/product_families/pedals

 

Add a rattle can of pastel spray paint and it's pretty much the same thing. You can order small cutie mark decals off of amazon for cheap.

 

That's what I do anyway.

 

Dashie is my Distortion

Rarity is my Reverb

Fluttershy is my Chorus

Applejack is my Overdrive

Pinkie Pie is my Volumizer Pedal

Twilight is my Flange

Vinyl Scratch is my Bass Synth (dem wubs, tho)

Derpy is my Wah Pedal

 

And if it counts, I'm searching for a small Octavia delcal for my eBow.

I'm not really a fan of digitech stuff but the new DOD 250 is really getting my gas going

I was unaware they even reissued those! Oooohhh. I passed up an original one a couple years ago (like a fool) because I thought my Valve King pedal had it beat. (No disrespect to Ibanez, I still use the hell outta that thing)

 

Just outta curiosity, what rig are you running?

[sailu 38]

a 80's Carvin hybrid amp solid state preamp and 4 EL34 power tubes =100 watts but has a half power switch. i run that in to a V30'd 2x12 into either my 2 strats, my tele squier deluxe or my jazzmaster

 

and my peds are now a JD-9-DS-2- small stone DOD FX65 chorus- RV-5 and DD-3

 

(dyna comp and SD-1 are going to be sold)

 

and going to soon be getting a Kalamazoo gold and now looking at picking up a 250 RI or have it build for me by some one so it Can be vintage spec and not "clammed" to be ya know..

 

lol i kinda wanna hook up with you now and jam lol

@@sailu,

 

YES YES I DO! i am an electronic engineer student

 

i usall build marshall clone vacuum tube amplifiers, push pull especially, i use russian sovteck el84 as final for 15/20 watt amps. up to 50wat with el34, for pre amps i useually stick with new old stock tubes lije electro harmonix or jj or Tesla

 

for effects i have build 4 fuzz faces (i am more on blues) 2 one of them used old vintage germanium transistors.. (30 euros for one of those small shits!)

some wa-wa

 

and my pride: AN UNIVIBE!!! how man i love love that!!! best 150 euros and month spent ever... guitars sound like high on acid.. thank you jimmy hendrix

 

 

my favourite effect ever

@@sailu,

 

FUCKK YEAHH!! ANOTHER VACUUM TUBE ENTUSIAST!!!!! MARRY ME!!!

 

btw.. switch that pre amp to a tube one too, for the final try to stay on MOSFETS, pre keeps sound warm, final gives the power

That, sir, is one supremely slick sounding rig. Glad I'm not the only one who's a sucker for a Kalamazoo, either.

 

I mostly make my money on the bass, so here's a quick rundown:

As I mentioned before, I almost exclusively use Digitech pedals. It's not an elitism sorta thing, just a "I've played everything else, and these have never failed me," sorta thing.

 

My three workhorses:

'76 Fender Jazz (Maple neck, big block inlays, Geddy Lee is my spirit animal)

'79 Fender Precision (Fretless)

'77 Rickenbacker 4001 (AKA, "The Rainbowbacker," due to it's Dashie paint job. Eat your heart out, Rick enthusiasts )

 

All that runs to my Ampeg SVT-810 E with a Sansamp RPM rackmount I use as a head.

 

I also have a set of Taurus pedals, but no Moog to connect them to, haha.

 

And yeah, if you wanna jam, I'd be happy to, providing you live anywhere near Kansas.

lol i've got an older Peavey foundation 5 string and love it to death~ and well i live in Washington state lol  and did you...distroy a vintage 77 rick with that paint job...or did it come with that haha~

[yeet 2,027]

i can build lego. does that help?

[Seaweed 596]

I "destroyed" it, haha. Most people love it, Rick purists HATE the thing. I also popped an EMG in the bridge. Left the toaster in the neck position, tho. Can't beat that sound. I don't have any plans on selling it, ever, so resale value is pretty whatever to me. It's my favorite bass. It's mean, gnarly, ugly, and just so perfectly me.

 

True story, I had a rick purist approach me after a show to berate me for "destroying" it with a nitro paint job and "gay ponies." He got a very swift, "Fuck you, dude, I do what I want, as I strolled (yes I actually strolled) to the bar.

 

And a Rainbow Dash bass is just so fucking METAL.

[sailu 38]

haha very nice~ got any pics~ i'd love to see

[Seaweed 596]

Funny thing about it is that the bass is now more well known around town than I am, haha.

that is sick as fuck i like that ~! very nice~!!!

[FIutt3rguy 12]

Boss Distortion Stomp Box,

Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah Pedal,

Line6 Spyder 4 75,

Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel wound strings,

on an Ibanez RG4EX1.

 

I hear a lot of ponies complain about Line6 amps. But I like mine considering it was a gift and that it has a looper and auxiliary line built in. 

 

I love the flame top on it. 

 

But I'm not really into customizing or anything. I don't really have the cash. My rig as is is sitting at 837$. And that's fine for me. I don't want to put any decals on my guitar. I'm worried to put anything except cleaner, cotton cloth, and my sweaty strum arm on the finish. xD

Don't know about slapping decals on my 6 string though. I love the flame maple finish on it.

That flamed maple is gorgeous. The only thing I don't like about 'em is the ultra thick, poly finish they have. It's a deal breaker for me. The necks on those RG's are thin as a yardstick, too. Absolutely wonderful.

 

As far as line 6's go, I'm neither here nor there with them. They're great as far as modeling amps go, but I'm a tube guy.

Yeah I'll have to look into it more. My friend swears by 'em. But as of now it's just me, this rig, and my Hendrix CDs.

[sailu 38]

yes tubes are god unless you find a really good solid state amp but no nasty modeling ewwww 

[Seaweed 596]

If we're being honest, I played a Hughes & Kettner modeling amp a few months ago that absolutely blew my mind. The Switchblade, I think it was called.

 

Though it could have been the Paul Reed Smith CE 24 I was playing through it
