May maoorderan ka ng 3PDT locally.

Pwede rin yung millenium bypass, pero DPDT switch naman ang gagamitin mo doon..

ahh.. salamat po, mejo mahal ung 3PDT try ko muna siguro ung millenium bypass.

mejo nalilito rin po ako sa parts na kelangan, nid din po ba yung nsa "Parts List (common)" except dun sa pagpipiliang IC ?

Actually konti lang difference sa price ng DPDT at 3PDT footswitch.. tapos bibili ka pa ng parts pang millenium bypass, gagawan mo pa ng board at iwwire at pagkakasyahin sa loob ng enclosure.. Long story short, konti lang nasave mo.. mag 3PDT ka nalang, less hassle pa.. 

[carlodizon03]

 may parts na din po kase ako nung mga kelangan sa millenium eh, pero hassle nga po tlga tulad nung last na gnawa ko di gumana dahil sa dpdt haha!   salamat po sa payo sir, beginner plang kse kaya inosente pa hehe!

[fretboard]

Mga sir tanong ko lang po kung meron bang gumagawa ng mga pickup dito sa Pilipinas? Balak ko sana magpa-custom ng electric pickup.

try mo elegee sir

[muntingnegro]

try mo elegee sir

magkano price range ng customized pu sa elegee mga sir?

Anyone here using an EM-DRIVE?? How was it? and how do you use it? I just ordered one from Rockstore, I want a transparent drive, and will be using it just for a booster. I don't really need an EQ so EM drive might be good. I also do have a Timmy as always-on pedal. Kailangan ko lang isa pang transparent drive para sa heavy rhythm parts. hehe. May 808 ako as my midboost/gain booster for solos. Pero naco-color nya kasi talaga yung tone, so i need another booster na transparent. hehe.

Is it good?

[porkplan]

Guys question lang. Wala akong idea kung alin ang pinaka okay na power supply pra sa pedal board ko. Kaya im asking for suggestions. Salamat

Ang laman ng pedal board ko ay : boss ds2, ibanez wh10, barber tone press, mxr carbon copy and suhr koko boost

Balak ko rin bumili ng mxr phase 90 at isang chorus pedal
 
Thanks!

[ubersam]

Alamin mo ang power requirements ng pedals mo, yung voltage at yung current (milliamps o mA) at i-add mo ang mga mA. Tapos mag hanap ka ng power supply na pareho ang voltage ng mga pedals at sobra ang mA sa total ng mA ng mga pedals mo. Malamang ok na ang One Spot o Dan Electrode, unless na gusto mo ng isolated outputs.

[analog.matt]

Sir, you can also opt to have custom one made if you really have some specialized needs. PedalMax / emil murillo is a good person to reach. so far sa aking experience, maganda naman ang performance. zero problems. ilang years na.  you'd just have to work with him re: what you want.

meron din naman siyang models na pwedeng pagpilian.

[Al_Librero]

If that's all you'll be powering, then most off-the-shelf regulated power supplies will do (1Spot, Godlyke, etc...). All the pedals you mentioned don't consume that much power. But you might also want to be prepared for things like digital delays and reverbs. You never really know when that time comes when you realize you want them. Those can change your requirements dramatically.

[Musikerochan]

since balak mo magkabit ng mods, be prepared sa ticking. might as well use a separate psu (wall wart type) para sa chorus and phaser. as for your current setup, a 1spot with daisy will do.

da best ang may TRUE isolated outputs in the future kung magdadagdag ka pa, lalo na ng mga delays/reverbs/digital stuff. yung mga psu na maraming outputs kuno is no different sa daisy chain, kaya careful lang din. you would want to have the least amount of noise, that's why invest on a good PSU.

Agree +100

[Stoop]

PSU-related question din po mga sir.
Sana matulungan nyo ako.

Bale eto yun current board setup ko:

Polytune >
Boss NS-2
    >  MXR Custom Modified OD (In NS-2 Loop)
    >  MXR Super Badass Distortion (In NS-2 Loop)
MXR Analog Chorus >
MXR Phase 90 >
TC Electronic Flashback Delay X4

Balak ko pa dagdagan ng isa pang drive pedal (Megalith Delta or Triple Wreck), at isa pang pedal for reverb (TCE HoF sana)

Ang tanong ko po, mas okay ba na bumili ng

Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 4 x 4
or okay nadin yun Godlyke Power-All na one-spot?

May kamahalan po kasi yun Voodoo Lab eh pero sabi sa review(s) maganda daw talaga kung meron kang dedicated isolated output para sa mga pedals mo.

Mapprovide na ba ng Godlyke yun lahat ng kelangan ko ng hindi nagkakaroon ng additional hum sa pedal chain? So far kasi ang gamit ko eh yun Mooer power supply plus yun regular DC chain na nabibili sa Lyric at napapansin ko medyo mas mabilis mag-feedback yun gitara ko kesa dati.

Sana po matulungan nyo ako.
Thanks in advance!!

Go with the Voodoo Labs kung kaya bro. PSU should be a good one

Sige sir pipilitin ko magupgrade sa Voodoo Labs (mukang ilang buwan akong hindi kakain neto...buset    )

Pero kung sakali sir kapusin ako sa budget, magandang alternative na po ba yun Godlyke Power-All? Something to tide me over hanggang magkaroon po ako ng Pedal Power PSU?

[steliocore]

Try mo PedalMax psu, kay Sir Emil. Custom psu yun sir.

Well, i've been reading stuff about non isolated PSUs and the responses vary per user. some say that there is no noice, some say there's a lot of noise, particularly with modulation pedals. so YMMV. but, all in all, if you have the bucks for it, i think it's best to invest in a great power supply para one time buy nalang.

using compressors on HB vs SC? malaki ba talaga difference? meron akong epi LP and SP compressor. mga nababasa ko kasi always mas pang single coil mga compressor. okay naman sakin ung tunog pero baka mas OK kasi sa single coil. hehe

IMO, the difference lies on what effect you are going for when using a compressor such as increasing sustain,taming level spikes, volume equalization.
I use comps on single coils to squash out the volume spikes just to avoid the nasty feedback.
I don't use comps on humbuckers though,a matter of personal taste.

Mga sir. San nakakabili ng Guitar rack? Haha di talaga ako makahanap dito eh haha. Yung kahit 3-5 lang na gitara kasya. Salamat.

or pwede ka rin gumawa ng rack using wood or PVC pipes.
