Lovepedal 200lbs of Tone revisited

December 14, 2010

I made this short test video of the Lovepedal 200lbs of Tone and the Echo Baby.
The best time to revisit pedals is when you are considering selling them on TGP!
The best time to record videos is when you haven’t played in a couple weeks and are recovering from strep throat!
See if you can hear the hack Lincoln Brewster lick in there. 🙂

Can it do the Eric Johnson 200 lb violin tone?
I don’t know if it can match the sound of a BK Butler Tube Driver into a Marshall but it was definitely in the ballpark.
I used the Line 6 M13 only to play a loop that I pre-recorded of the Lovepedal Echo Baby.
The 200lbs of Tone is great for its price range but it’s not as versatile as the Skreddy Lunar Module Deluxe.
The Lunar Module can be as smooth as the Lovepedal but it can also get more aggressive.
You can really pinpoint what kind of fuzz sound you like with the five knobs.

In case you missed it, Eric Johnson has a new album out.


Zvex Fuzz Factory

December 31, 2009

Youtube and craigslist are powerful enablers.
I picked up a used handpainted Zvex Fuzz Factory off craigslist yesterday so it looks like I will be selling my Lovepedal 200lbs of Tone silicon fuzz pedal. I just couldn’t resist for less than half the price of a new FF.

Isn’t the internet great?
You can get a picture of Doug Pettibone’s pedalboard (including his Fuzz Factory settings) and watch videos of him using that pedal on some searing leads with Lucinda Williams.
