I really enjoy how Twitter has connected me to various musicians and pedal builders out there. With the numbers of pedal builders rising, there is no better place to connect with them on a more personal level. A few months ago, @Goosoniqueworx and I started following each other and asked if I’d be interested to look at their high gain distortion pedal and of course I agreed.

Goosonique is based out of Singapore and they have the Seventheaven distortion touring the States from one blog to the other. I thought that concept was quite cool. I received the pedal from Bobby DeVito and after we were done, I shipped it off to Blake of WhatsThatDudePlay.com. Okay, enough of this, and let’s get to the pedal.

Here is their basic break down of the pedal and functions:

DUAL CHANNELS
Seventheaven comes with dual channels toggle switchable gain channels where the Green channel is more of a low gain offering primarily but gets into heavy distortion with the boost engaged. The Red channel starts of distorted and gives much head room and variety in tweaking the saturation. Both channels cleans up with a rolling off guitar volume knob.

EQ
The EQ onboard, Bass, Mid and Treble all responds sensitively and gets very versatile for the player to archive different amp tone. They mimic high gain amp tone controls which are place after the gain stages thus giving a post dirt tone stack. Very interactive! Together with a presence and feedback switch, allows the user to tweak make some final adjustments in different amp situations to get a more darker tone with added bass, or to brighten his tone up.

BOOST
It also features an In-line boost which is not a gain halve switch, but works in boosting your settings to archive a notch up on your overall setting. it’s not pre/post standalone and only activated when the pedal is engaged.

DYNAMICS
As it’s pick sensitive, it allows flexible dynamic control either by the playing style, again, roll it off nicely with the volume knob on the guitar. Another great feature that i need to add is that it plays well with other effects thus eliminating any pedal board conflicts.

POWER
The Seventheaven powers up via a DC power jack for 9VDC, up to 18 VDC power. 2.1mm plug negative center. This unit does not operate on batteries.

This pedal is incredibly versatile going from clean boost to full on metal tones. With the the two channel option (green/red) you get two different gain levels. Having the boost is excellent for leads with plenty of gain. The versatility really comes into play with their three band EQ and the ability to dial in the mid-range. You can scoop them or bump them which gives you the ability to really shape your tone to a particular style or need. Both the channels of the pedal are very transparent with very little tonal change. The red is the same but with more gain.

There are two footswitches on the pedal. Right switch engages or disengages the pedal. You need to switch the toggle for green or red channel. The left switch is a boost switch, where you can leave that on (but is on activated if the pedal is on) so you can go right to lead tone (boost on) or stage it by stepping on the pedal.

Additionally there is a feedback and presence knob/switch to help shape the tone.

This pedal has the ability to stay ‘tight’ at high gain.

For this demo, I asked my long time friend and fellow guitarist Jimmy Rolle to take it for a ride.

This first demo is using his ‘light’ gain channel of his Matchless DC-30 (12ax7 channel). His guitar is a Les Paul Gold Top with P90 pickups. SM57 mic on the Green Back speaker and Audix D3 on the Vintage 30 speaker.

This second demo, Jimmy is switching to the higher gain setting of the Matchless DC-30 (ef86 channel). Same guitar.

I also have higher quality audio from the above videos here:

Having contact with the builders, I also like to interview them and see what they were thinking when they created and designed the pedal. I think a little insight can be quite useful when searching for the right pedal for your line.

What were you trying to achieve and/or avoid when you put this pedal together?

To develop a decent high gain amp-like in a stompbox and to breakaway from the usual op-amp pedal distortions.

What were you going for with the presence/feedback selection

For amp voicing variable which helps with various amps and its speaker types. Primarily, Presence mode for extra presence/brightness when using darker sounding amps, and Feedback mode that provides a bigger bass response when using brighter sounding amps.

What are the differences between the green and red channel? Diode clipping, etc?

The Seventheaven has a cascaded Jfet circuit thus NO Clipping diodes.

What was the deciding factor for going with the 3 band EQ vs. just a ‘tone’ knob. We both thought it was great to have mid control.

Most smaller clean amps for home practice come with one or no tone control. Secondly, since it was designed to mimic a high gain amp, a traditional three band EQ will allow user to sculpt tone further and not be limited by a single tone control.

Have you considered adding a footswitch to handle the channel selection?

Yes, but adding another foot-switch will narrow the distance between each other considering the current box size. What we wanted was gain control via guitar volume knob not pedal switching which may be fun for bedroom but not so when performing. We also did a field test and found that most who prefered a channel switch, later, decided to go without, since both channels can go dirty cleans up very well with the roll of guitar volume knob.

What style (if any) of music (or guitarist) were you tailoring this pedal for?

Anyone and and everyone who wants something different out of the good ‘ol stompbox.

The Goosonique Seventheaven pedal can be yours for $299.00 USD + Shipping (they accept PayPal). There is currently no wait list. They sell them each week as they build them.  For more information or if you’d like to purchase a pedal, please check out the links below:

Last week I posted some info on the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb pedal, and noticed that some places carry the big version and other places only carry the nano. I’m assuming that EHX is probably going to be phasing out of the larger pedals since the nanos seem to be quite popular these days. So my question is… do they sound the same?

Well, with questions like this, it seems like Gearmanndude usually has the answer. I took a quick trip to YouTube, and I found a great Gearmanndude video comparing the nano and mr. big. Seems like Gearmanndude isn’t too into reverb. I can relate. I think it’s been about 20 years since I played with reverb, but not because I hate it.. it just isn’t required in the stuff I play.

You can pick up the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb for $118.50 at Musician’s Friend
I’m unable to find the ‘classic’ EHX Holy Grail anywhere now, so it looks like your best option is to pick it up on eBay. Here are some Holy Grail pedals found using PedalNerd.com

Output A – Matchless DC30 ef86 channel
Output B – Matchless DC30 12Ax7 channel / Rivera Knucklehead

I have used a bunch of stuff over the years with this being my most current lineup.  In general I like to have 4-5 different gain flavors on a board then a simple wah and analog delay.  The pedals are in an order that works for me to achieve the desired result.  This is a breakdown of the signal path and what each pedal is used for:

The Lehle Little Lehle II is used to place the Boss TU2 tuner in a true bypass loop.  The Boss TU2 features buffer circuitry that affects your signal even when the pedal is off.  Having the TU2 in a loop allows me to choose to have a buffered or unbuffered signal from the start of the board.  Some pedals, namely fuzzes or older style distortion pedals, react very differently to buffered/unbuffered signals, so it is nice to have the choice to obtain a desired sound.

The next pedal in line is the Fulltone ‘69 pedal.  I have had this one on the board for about 8-9 years and really like it for classic fuzzface type tones.  From the ‘69 the signal goes to the Lehle D. Loop where I have options for Loop A and Loop B.  I have a Bad Cat 2-Tone in Loop A and a Maxon 808 + EH Big Muff Pi in Loop B.  The Bad Cat gives me a big “Tone Boost” type of sound, in a lot of ways like a bigger, better, treble booster.  It does introduce some hum when turned on, I believe due to the preamp tubes and power trannies inside.  The Maxon + Big Muff Pi sound is thick and gives you great sustain and articulation for leads.  For me, the Big Muff is only OK by itself, pretty scooped and lacking in definition.  The Maxon 808 adds the midrange punch and clarity I’m looking for.

I’ve had a number of wahs over the years, the two I liked best being the Fulltone Clyde and the Teese RMC “Picture Wah”.  The RMC has a slightly wider and smoother sweep than the Clyde, and a hair more top end.  I’m sure someday I will have the Clyde in there again, just to mix it up.  Either way, they are both killer “classic” sounding wahs.

The signal then goes to a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 MOSFET.  The merits of the FD2 are pretty well documented.  This one replaced my original TS9 that was my very first pedal and stayed in my lineup for almost 15 years.  The FD2 is just a flat-out great overdrive that is versatile and easy to dial in.

At the left end of the board I have an EH Deluxe Memory Man which is in a LOOOPER true bypass loop.  The DMM really needs to be in a loop because you can hear a very small amount from the “Echo” output event when the pedal is bypassed.  The DMM has a classic, creamy analog delay sound with some versatility compared to the typical smaller analog delay units.

From the delay, the signal goes back across the board to the Axess Electronics BS2 Buffer/Splitter.  The BS2 is a high quality signal buffer which converts your high impedance guitar signal to low impedance.  It also features 3 outputs, one of which is a transformer isolated output with a phase reverse option for using when combining two amplifiers.  There is an internal “gain” pot that you can add a few dB of clean boost to your signal if you desire to push the amps input section a little harder.  Usually I have the gain up a few clicks to refresh my signal and drive the amp a little harder.

After the BS2 the signal goes to the Whirlwind Selector which allows me to choose outputs A/B or both outputs simultaneously.  For my band _pollen, I send one output to each channel of my Matchless DC30 and use both individually and in combination depending on the song.  For my other band, American Falcon, I send one of the outputs to my Rivera Knucklehead and then use the speaker phase reverse switch on the DC30 to eliminate phase cancellation issues between the two amps.

As far as cabling goes, the majority of the pedal board is wired with George L’s “Vintage Red” cable, which sounds great but is somewhat fragile.  The other jumpers are some sort of standard cables that I picked up because I needed more for my board.  They seem solid and sound good.  I use a Colossal Cable “Modern Classic” for my primary stage cable, and two DiMarzio cables to go from the board to the amp.  The DiMarzio’s are high quality cables, which I don’t think they make the same version of any more…don’t know why.

The following is a guest post review of the Digitech Hardwire CM-2 Tube Overdrive Pedal by Andrew Elmore. If you are interested in guest posting, please contact me!

A while back i bought a Sony PSP from a friend for the strange price of $65 and a box of Pop Tarts. I am completely serious. I used it about five times and then it sat in my closet collecting dust for several months. On a completely unrelated subject I have recently discovered the Digitech Hardwire CM-2 Tube Overdrive and have fallen in love with it. (Long story short, a dude on craigslist was selling one for $70 and I traded that PSP for it instead. Success.)

I played with it at my local music store and wasn’t super impressed (it was plugged into a Marshall MG15DFX… What could I expect?) but the reviews on the internet were so crazily positive! And the youtube demos made it sound great! What was the deal?!

I ended up trading that PSP (You thought that random intro sentence was completely pointless didn’t you?) for The Hardwire Tube Overdrive on craigslist and took it home and was blown away. It took awhile to find a good spot for it, but i ended up putting it before my other OD pedals and it just sounded beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

You got your basic Level, Low, High, and Gain controls here, as well as a standard bypass switch. There is, however, another mysterious little mini-toggle for either Classic or Modified. Classic sounds very very reminiscent of a TS9 (but with 2 band EQ of course)but the Modified setting is where this pedal really shines. A Gain/Presence boost along with a mid-range boost and a bit more compression give it that TS9DX “Hot Mode” sound but with more creamy, glorious sustain. Beautiful.

Try as I might, I could not get a bad sound out of this pedal! Contrary to popular belief, this is not just a glorified Digitech Bad Monkey. It’s a whole ‘nother animal. The CM-2 uses higher voltage operation than any pedal I’ve ever heard of, allowing for amazing headroom so you won’t overload this pedal with any pregain stages or active pickups. Like it’s namesake, it’s hardwired true bypass and won’t affect your tone when off. One of the features I’m glad for in the Hardwire series is an overall use of much better parts. The knobs are solid and well, different. (Play with one, you’ll get what I mean.) The bypass switch is an overall better quality than the standard digitech pedal (I’m comparing this to my Hot Head.) and this thing could survive a freaking nuclear holocaust. It’s even olive drab which makes it extra hardcore! It comes with a Glow In The Dark sticker for the stomp switch so it’s easy to see on a dark stage (very helpful!) and a seperate, all velcro backplate
to replace the standard rubber one. Bright blue blind-you-for-days LED and a sick, sick tone. This pedal is the definition of sexy.

It was once said on TGP somewhere: “If it ain’t hand-painted, it ain’t worth playin’.” I guarantee if you shoot this out with hand made boutique overdrives it will still blow their overinflated pricetags out their butts. Long story short, this thing sounds PHENOMENAL and is a flat hundred bucks new! Don’t take my word for it. Go play one. This has become my main overdrive pedal for lead AND rhythm! My SD-1 and BD-2 are essentially just gain boosts now!

Anyway yeah. Digitech Hardwire CM-2 Tube Overdrive, You succeed on all levels of awesome.

I was thinking it was a little while since I posed a question to the community, so I thought I’d ask a simple one. Not sure if you guys are like me, and wonder what others are using. I mainly like to do this just to open eyes on new brands, styles, etc. Maybe I’ve heard of something, and then when I see others using it, it might motivate me to personally give it a shot. Or just finding something you never heard of.  Exploring can really help one grow. So today I thought I’d ask what picks people are using. What brands, and what gauge. Wow, the answers sure came in. To contribute myself, I use the .88mm Dunlop Tortex (greenies). Please feel free to continue the discussion below by commenting to this post!

I was having a few twitter conversations about reverbs, and I threw out the Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb. This is a pretty classic reverb pedal for many guitarists out there. It looks like they don’t make the original big version any more, and going with the nano only.

Here is the official description on the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb:

A true space-saver with classic Holy Grail sounds.

The Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal has the prized sounds of the legendary Holy Grail reverb pedal in a rugged, performance-friendly nano die-cast chassis. The small footprint stompbox fits easily into any pedal board while still delivering the amazing reverb sounds that made the original 2002 Holy Grail a legend among guitarists everywhere.

The EH Holy Grail Nano reverb pedal provides the original classic Spring reverb revered by guitarists for its authentic sound, a Hall reverb specifically designed for performing musicians, and the completely original “Flerb” a flanged reverb with unique and haunting spatial definition. The original Holy Grail was prized for re-creating quality reverb spaces and the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano pedal delivers the same definitive reverbs while saving you pedalboard space.

The nano is the same as the big version, just smaller foot print.

I found this great video by ProGuitarShopDemos on the EHX Holy Grail:

You can pick up the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb for $118.50 at Musician’s Friend.
