I saw these pedals in some of the guitar shops here in QC and it was tagged at P6,000++. I was like... wtf?!? Parang gusto kong sabihin sa salesman na $79 lang 'yan sa states! Grrr.. but, of course I'm here in Manila and we should also take into consideration of tax and all that but for 6K? Isn't it too much? I've been ''GAS-ing" with these cute little pedals for weeks now. I don't know if I'll be needing an extra Phaser & DIRT box in my rig.
What do you think guys?

bro go second hand. Si dubista may binebentang boss ph1r which is a good deal Japan pa if your lookin for a phaser. I had a MXR Zack Wylde od and pinamigay ko lang sa pinsan ko. May issue sa footswitch, pumapaltos. I had a dynacomp tri-nade ko na. I had a vintage MXR phase100 and dont miss it at all, it bumps up the high end when engaged.
I guess i dont like MXR. The dyna was pretty good though, solid tone at ma-aasahan 8)
-
sa JB ba? kung sa JB, hingi ka na lang ng discount, ok naman mga tao sa JB eh..
meron din akong gustong pedal less than $40 lang ang price, pero binebenta dito ng 5k! :shock: kaya kinalimutan ko na lang ung pedal na yon... :lol:

Thanks for the reply bro. What's the use of a Dyna Compressor? I also saw that priced at 6K as well. How about the MXR Dist ++? It it good? I'm looking for an overdrive kasi for the melodic rythms.

evens out the attack and volume or squashes and sustains the signal. You have to try it out with your gear EXTENSIVELY these pedals. They do look cute but you have to get your moneys worth and be happy sa purchase mo 8)
-
Yes bong, I saw it in JB Music Shop. Nice place actually. They have stufs that AudiopHile doesn't and vice versa. Discount you say... hmmm... :lol:
@pallas - this GAS is killing me badly. hehe :twisted:

here is more to feed your GAS :twisted:

Are you serious!? :lol: Nakakapanlaway naman YAN! :lol:
Anyway, i've been GASing for an MXR Stereo Chorus. Mukhang ok naman.
-
anak ng... san namomod yang Dist+ na yan??? gusto ko nyan!!!
hehe mark ganda yang Stereo Chorus... natry ko na yan sa Guitar Center dati pero nagtitipid ako kaya bumili na lang ako ng DigiTech XMC.
anyway, MXR pedals are very good but the prices here are quite high. mas magaan-gaan nang konti sa bulsa pag humingi ka ng discount sa JB Music. kakabili ko lang ng Dyna Comp with a 15% discount sa JB and it's been great so far. Phase 90? panalo din yan as long as bagay sa tugtugan mo. Van Halen afficionado kasi ako so i really had to buy one to emulate EVH's sound. Distortion+ is has more of a booster/fuzz type sound pero di ko trip pag solo lang. may nakuha akong setting na malapit sa tone ni Eric Johnson using a Distortion+ cascaded with a TS808. i hope this helps dude! :)

HEY GUYS may zwod 2500 lang sa buynsell

Whatta coincidence. I was looking at some of the schems I got for tube preamps...I have one using a 12AX7 but with a plate voltage of only 12 Volts :D . Whew...tama na nga I'm talking greek to many. Just to say...that mod with a tube is very much possible so long as you put it on the very first stage of the pedal. Yun nga lang, you can't operate out of batteries anymore...the filament will take too much juice. Just when you thought it's an April Fools joke :D .

I was about to go commercial with this one. It's a clone of the MXR Distortion +. Was darned ready for it, had the PCB's and case design silkscreened. But when I was about to go semi-mass prod, the cases went out of stock. Oh well. Maybe on a better time.
This should retail for less than half what you get the MXR Distortion + for.

totoo siya sir. mod siya sa mxr distortion +. ang ginawa nung nag mod ay halos pinalitan na niya ung components para makuha ung gusto niyang sound at saka para sa bass siya
Sir BAMF, wala nga akong makuha nung ginamit mong box sa alexan.. out of stock parati
-
I'm an MXR/Dunlop fanboi. So far my experiences with MXR have all been good. Pero ang mahal naman ng pasahan sa atin.
-
:D same here. I'm planning to buy MXR disto +. Ok pla sir yung dyna comp nila. Close good deal na yung sa JB xe may discount. Pricey nga talaga MXR dito. Well the usual dahilan, xe made in USA compared sa iba. :? Good simple design and sound naman pro sana hustisya sa presyo.. :P Hehe
-
wag kayo mag-alala, quality products ang MXR.. ayos yun! :)
-

Sulit na ba sir yung disto + na ranging 4.3k to 4.5k yung price? Brand new :D M really GASsing for it! :? Thanx 8)
-
oo ayos na yun pre.. $80 ata yun sa US ngayon so good deal na rin :)

i tried the double shot... i didn't like it. i'd take my jackhammer over it anytime anywhere.
the zakk wylde OD is exactly as advertised... a hot rodded SD-1.

The ZW od wasnt the switch was faulty and i read the some of the reviews with the same complaint.
-
no, its not just ZW's switch, matter of fact every Dunlop MXR switches. kaya mas maganda ang mga 1980's issue ng MXR (nang di pa sila nabibili ng JimDunlop) heavy duty ang switch. the only downside.
-
Hhee.. I feel so glad that I'm not the only one who's GASsing for these MXR cute lil pedals!! grrr... buy na this sweldo or just settle first with a chorus or a WAH... hmmm... :wink:
If you can have these cute lil pedals for 4.5K, I'd say go for it!! Next stop is also a highly recommended Digitech Bad Monkey which is priced at P3K ++ only!!! But of course, that will be a different thread already. :lol:

the Jim Dunlop dynacomp was pretty reliable 8) By the way do you have any 80s issue MXRs bro.

Ssshhh... sa atin lang 'to bro. Punta ka sa JB MUSIC/ RJ Guitar Shop may makikita kang mga MXR pedals. :P hehhe...
-
@pallas: la co 80's issue eh. lagi acong naa-outbid sa ebay. kaya bumili nalang aco ng brand new (ebay parin)
-
sir ano feedback nyo sa DoubleShot? planning to get one pero hesitant ako baka waste of money lang.
the marshall crunch does it for me... and sadly, the double shot won't give me that kinda sound.
it's very open sounding though... but a bit too trebly for my taste... i tried to dial in the sound that i want for a while, but couldn't really get the sound that i wanted.
my jackhammer would kill the double shot (yeah, don't even ask about the shredmaster).

Tube, built like a tank sha in a sense na talagang solid yung body structure. yun nga lang about the switch, hindi na sha katulad ng early issues na heavy duty ang nakakabit. tinipid cguro ng JimDunlop. pero ok parin sha, depende naman talaga yan sa gagamit eh. tulad co, Micro Amp ang sa akin, so pag leads co lang sha niyayapakan. and hindi naman aco metalhead so kontrolado co yung pressure ng stompings. :) wag na sad
-
wala naman akong problema sa switch pre.. ang dalas ko inaapakan yung Dist+ ko kasi booster ko yun sa pedal chain ko pero it's still working perfectly. wag lang siguro apak-wrestler ang gawin hehe.. kahit ibang pedals naman pag binarumbado yung pag-apak may chance na masisira din e, lalo na yung plastic-cased pedals like Behringer hehe :)
-
i had 3 mxr pedals, a vintage phase100, dynacomp re-issue and the ZWOD. Yung ZWod lang may diperensya sa footswitch. I presume most mxr pedals are reliable.
-
ZWOD :roll: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=acc2e8c71efb5e61cb5cc3102e07dc76&threadid=1216062

Sir BAMF,
Saan nakakakuha ng metal na pushbutton switch gaya ng nasa "distolpas" mo?
-
These days? Some still hold well, but otherwise there are a lot better options out there at better price points.
-
heck yeah!!! I love em!
-
I've owned a few. I liked them all but ended up selling a few and kept the ones I like most.
MXR Phase 90 - the only Phaser sound I like. 1 knob that I don't bother changing the setting (between 10-11 o'clock)
MXR Il Torino Overdrive - I like the color, the sound and the EQ Tuning options.
MXR Super Badass Distortion - covers a wide gain range and offers good tuning options. It may sound too compressed (and tiring) after a while but always a pleasure using it again.
MXR Booster Mini - perfect solution for beefing up the thin sounding single coil strat bridge. Sounds HUGE.
MXR Phase 99 - Can do Phase 90 but smaller.
MXR Carbon Copy - Excellent in fattening your lead sound but a bit too dark for using it for u2 type rhythms.
-
mxr have some good products. some are also not so good. they are like boss. if they produce a good pedal, they are really good. i have two that i really like. the super badass distortion and custom badass od. now i am planning on the m300 reverb.
-
since I bought the Fullbore Metal, I steered clear of MXR products. I had very bad experienced with that pedal, masyadong compressed and uncontrollable gain, it was too much. Tho I want to try their 5150 and Super Badass Dist.

fullbore metal is the worst. Not an ounce of musicality. The 5150 and super badass are both nice. But super badass gets my vote

Mismo. I wasted 5k for that. :-(

Carbon copy is the only MXR pedal I can think of to have a place on my pedalboard. :lol:
