well - with pedalboards and rigs 'everything is relative' :mrgreen:

For me the first question is 'Are you using your amp clean or dirty' and then How important is the connection between your pickups and your amp .....

The difference between modulations pre and post distortion is HUGE.

I had the Boss CE2 and Phaser '79-80 and loved them into my Marshall JMP 50watter for years - nailed Trower and other similar tones.........

then mid 80s I switched to a Twin Reverb and an Ibanez FatCat (Rat) and never really liked modulations much after that and stopped using them for years ...... becasue I added the Distortion pedal at the beginning ......

I figured out years later that the difference was earlier my modulations were going into a distorting amp and being reshaped and chewed up and warmed up by the amp (Trower)............ but I was plowing the distortion pedal into the modulations and it was so edgy and cutting that I hated it (popular 80s hardrawk sound) ...

so now I have the Asteroids and MGMV and MP TOPhaser before the drive pedals and love them again............. MGMV into DRD I can just get lost in for hours ............... so yeah try your phasers and vibes and mono choruses and vibratoes BEFORE your drive Pedals and just put the stereo choruses panners verbs and delays after the drive pedals ......

Clean boosts - again its relative -- are you using the boost to drive your dirt harder to distort more (before) or do you just want that sound the same but louder ? (after)

another fun lead boost is to put a slapback delay INFRONT of your dirt .......... theres always options..... 8)

well for the record, i was in the process of finding an echoczar and raising funds, in the past week I finally found one and now the cash needs are much more critical. I had a WTB ad on TGP for a couple weeks around the same time it was up the first time. The reason I let the first auction run its course at the higher price was because I was not in such a dire need of the cash, and thought if someone was willing to pay a higher premium for a great pedal I was ok with letting it go and saving up for the Echoczar.

I don't mind the disingenuous comment just should have provided the full details the first time. my mistake

:D

well again for the record - i joined because a member on TGP let me know citizenaudio on here was looking for one so I joined to send him an email, which i did but got no response. I only responded to the thread when I saw it was posted on here. I had been wanting to join because I have owned a few BJFE and many Mad professor pedals, as well as both Rocketride pedals(not the wah) and really enjoy Bjorn's work, but for some reason had never gotten around to joining.

i wasn't trying to be a shameless promoter but i could see how it looks like that. I do however enjoy how people are more proactive and willing to call people out about stuff on here.

Again i wasn't trying to turn a quick profit - just trying to stay out of debt. I also was unsure about a newbie posting how that would go over, since on other forums its usually frowned upon

I knew (common knowledge) Citizenaudio had posted on the BJF he wanted to try/buy a Rocketride Asteroid Chorus.
I saw Eric's Rocketride Asteroid Chorus FS post on TGP.

:idea: Link the seller (who has the exact pedal) and the buyer( who wants the same).

I emailed Eric and suggested he could approach him directly.
Eric was pro-active and sought membership here as many other Gear Page members have done with this being a direct link from seller to buyer.

The action was pro-active and positively intended.
I hope the result is positive for buyer and seller.
