Today’s pedal line is from Julian Estrada. 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.
Hi, my name is Julian, i’m a semi-professional musician from Buenos Aires – Argentina. I play some sort of 70’s infused grungy hard rock. I’ve followed your blog for several months now and it’s one of my main resources for pedal info. Attached to this e mail you may find a picture of my current board of effects, i was victim of a robbery about 4 months ago so this pedal board it’s like the new version of the sound i’m looking for. It’s a very “spartan” setup, it covers the basics with both “pricey” and cheap pedals. I´ll explain the line, it goes like this:
Fender Jazzmaster Blacktop HS or Epiphone G-400 with Seymour Duncan SH1 (59) on the bridge position >
– Dunlop CAE Mc404 Wah: (By far the best wah pedal i’ve ever heard, the most versatile one at least)
– Buffalo Audio 66 Overdrive : (Manufactured by a reknown local boutique pedal brand, it´s a very harsh nasal overdrive in the fashion of vintage british amps)
– Carl Martin DC Drive: (Awesome pedal for the price, sounds really good and in the “fat mode” it´s almost a mid gain distortion, kudos for the booster as well)
– Joyo Ultimate Octave: (The cheapest “octavia” pedal around, sounds pretty good for the price and gets the job done)
– Danelectro Cool Cat Vibe: (Another cheap pedal with great sound but two annoying but fixable issues, very soon i’ll be replacing this unit for a Pickle Vibe probably)
– MXR Carbon Copy: What’s left there to say about this beautiful piece of machinery?
All this goes straight into my Peavey Valveking 212 Combo
That´s about it, check my band’s bandcamp page where you can download our first EP for free.
Greetings from way down south!

Doesn’t a lot of these posts start with ” I was just robbed” What has happened to guitar players. We use to be like brothers. Brothers don’t steal from each other. It’s sad when someone wants a pedal and the thought of buying your own is a foreign concept.

Glad to see you’re rebuilding your board Julian. I’ve got the newer DC Drive (with the square case), absolutely love that Overdrive pedal!

Hey! thanks for posting my board and thanks for the comments as well. Yes, it’s sad to start the post by saying i was robbed, and believe me, the board wasnt the only thing stolen, it went with what was my primary guitar until then, a Fender 1978 Standard Telecaster, so the griefing was unbearable for months. Anyway, water under the bridge, i’m glad you got to see my humble setup and check my band. I would like to read more comments about the board and maybe some suggestions of pedals that can replace or improve the cheap ones. Best regards!
