What kind of guitarpedals are there in Electrical Audio????

Where to begin?
Some of the more favored ones are:

Travtronics "Bean Deceiver"
Routes signal through broken glass to add special harmonic content. Extra rare IMRON coated case on this one. Damn!

Chapel Hill Sound Works "Polvorizer"
Makes your $2200 Paul Reed Smith sound like a cheap, out of tune Kent, yet somehow still pleasing.

Hats Off "57 Killa"
Rare drummer's stomp box. Removes high hats from the mix entirely.

Limitone "Depressor"
Boosts silent signals and cuts loud ones to less than 5dB. This particular one has been used on every single Tortoise recording ever made.

Chi-Town People Factory "Jesus Blizzzard"
Somewhat like the Travtronics pedal, only with a more "violent" tone coloration. Still has the original packaging it was shipped in - a zippered denim sack. Whip it out, plug it in and you'll be deaf as a bat in no time.

Fan Boy Circuits "Albini Martini"
Does the exact opposite of the mythical Harmonic Perculator because, you know, it's obstinate.

Wes-tone Boston Red Box
I still don't know what this one does exactly, but it's impossible to dislike for some reason.

So many more, and they are all custom built. That is, when one of the many EA geniuses stops ruminating on the perfect recording conditions, gets up off of his bed constructed entirely of Travis Beans, and builds one over his lunch break.

Ha! My old room mate and I "designed" the Polvorizer back in 1994, but the rest are fresh out of the oven.
Now all I need to do is actually build them...

Maybe I was subconsciously fishing for my first "salut."

Somebody should do a "best fake effects" post like the band names one.

"the smithereens" turns your emo guitar sound into a late 80's lullaby...

This definitely gets my vote for post of the year for 2006, maybe even regardless of anything that gets posted in the coming months. Possibly my vote for best post ever, or best post possible.

I laughed out loud continuously.

SALUT!

I more thought of various gain, distortion pedals as I´m going there in august, and don´t want to bring too much stuff all the way from Denmark...

More "normal" pedals if you know what I mean....

Villan as mentioned - there is a shelving unit in studio B with what appears to be a big selection of pedals including what looks like a harmonic perculator.

I think you would do best putting this question in the "studio questions" thread as opposed to the "tech" thread which I doubt is monitored as closely by the people at electrical.

Have a great time recording there. I bet you are going to have good sounding fun.

i'd be happy with the big cheese and the brown source!
