Pedal Line Friday – 7/9 – Louis DiFlorio

Today’s pedal line is from Louis DiFlorio. If you have a pedal line (doesn’t have to be in a board) for your rig, please email me a photo, bio, description of pedals and routing to pedalline@nulleffectsbay.com. Every Friday I’ll showcase a pedal line submission. Make sure you include any links to your band or music page.

Pedal Line Friday - 7/9 - Louis DiFlorio

Hi There,

My name is Louis DiFlorio.  I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years in various bands.  These days, I play in a band called the Sherbourne Canons.  We play classic rock influenced original music.  I play a 52 USRI telecaster (1986) and an American standard strat (1986) as my main guitars.  I also have an Epiphone 335 and Les Paul gold top (both 90’s models Made in Korea).  My main amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Limited Edition White Lightning, and at home I use a Fender Champ 600.

My pedals currently are:

1. Into the front of the amp:

Boss TU-2:  pretty standard.  I find it to be reliable, and the tone suck doesn’t seem to bother me especially in a two guitar band such as the Canons.

VS Comp-66:  I’ve been through a few compressors, and I find this to be very quiet and with a great buffer.  I use it for clean tones mainly, and the odd bit off chicken pickin.

Lovepedal Pickle vibe:  I’ve been through the micro vibe and I have a cool cat CV-1.  This little guy is pretty good.  Solid, and I really like the small size for my board.

Xotic AC Plus: I quite like this pedal.  Great low/med drive options.  I wouldn’t mind checking out the BB plus, but this pedal seems to work well with my set-up.

MXR Micro Amp:  mainly used for lead boosts.

2.  Into the effects loop of the HRDLX:

Lovepedal Babyface tremolo
:  great little trem pedal.  It sounds terrific and I like the three settings that range from Fender amp vibrato to intense chop city.  The internal pots are a pain to access, but I find I set those and leave them.

MXR Carbon Copy:  Use this as my main delay.  I have a big box Deluxe Memory Man and I must say it sounds fantastic, but this guy is great as well.  The modulation is pretty nice and it fits on the board!

Boss DD-20:  Great delay box.  This thing can do just about everything.  I use the reverse mode, the loop function, and I use it for longer digital delay sounds when I need them.

Not pictured:

I usually start my chain with a Zoom UF-1 Ultra Fuzz.  This thing is a really versatile analog fuzz box.  It’s no longer made, and some say it’s closely related to the Zvex Fuzz Factory.  It has a gate, and res dials that allow to get some pretty wild sounds.

Voodoo Labs Proctavia:  Just got this guy used for a good deal.  Not sure if it will be a main stay or not.

That’s it.  Cheers and Thanks.  I really enjoy effects bay.  I find it to be a great source of information and entertainment.
