    My friend and ZAVALAZ bandmate, Dan Elkan brought his Danelectro Back Talk Reverse Delay to 5starr Sound Labs because I don’t own one and he does! The Back Talk Reverse Delay pedal was part of the Miscellaneous Series Effects released in 2001 by Danelectro. Built in a sturdy die cast enclosure, running on 9V, it is a pure digital backward/reverse...

    The pedalboards keep rolling in! Today’s pedalboard submission comes from Stephen all the way from Melbourne, Australia! Let’s take a look at what Stephen’s working with: Stephen’s bass goes into a Korg Pitchblack tuner, a great alternative to the BOSS TU-2 Tuner. The Korg pitchblack is a very accurate tuner and is very easy...

    Throughout my career, I have explored two options as a working musician: being a part of a band and being a hired gun.  Though both carry positive and negative aspects, I find I prefer being in a band, but have taken on hired gigs due to financial, and sometimes, career affecting reasons. Up through...

    The submissions for PedalsAndEffects’ “Show Me Your Pedalboard” have kept rolling in and so many users have great boards to share. Today’s pedalboard comes from Channing who plays in a band called Alpha Cop. Channing has some guitar-oriented pedals and only a few designed specifically for bass, but this makes no difference as everyone’s choice...

    As you all know, ZAVALAZ is in the studio recording, and the process has really give us a chance to stretch ourselves and create some wild, new sounds that will end up on our record. The sonic assault of last week’s sessions was lead by Dan Elkan (guitar) who used no fewer than 40...

    The first leg of the Deltron 3030 tour has wrapped, and now my focus is back on ZAVALAZ.  My bandmates have been busy working on ideas for our recording session next week, and I’m spending this week catching up and practicing. We shared MP3s via email which will do when we’re not together, but...

    The Red Panda Particle is my new favorite effect pedal;  it’s a granular delay/pitch shifting pedal but also offers so much more. When Jonathan Hischke first brought over Josh Klinghoffer’s Particle, we plugged it in and spent about an hour playing through it and looking at each other in amazement.  The way this pedal manipulates...

    Pigtronix’s new time stretching effect, the Quantum Time Modulator is a vibrato, a chorus and a wild time stretching effect that provides some pretty cool and useful sounds.  Pigtronix was inspired by Frank Zappa’s MicMix DynaFlanger sound, and although I am not familiar with that pedal, I am sure Dave at Pigtronix achieved it because he...

    In the mid 90’s my friend, Robert Carranza recommended me for an audition with a band he was working with.  The band was called Pet, and they were signed on to Tori Amos’s label, Igloo/Atlantic.  The very talented Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails, Beck) was the original bassist and recorded the album with them,...

    “I have enough pedals now that I’ve run out of room on my actual pedalboard, which is kinda fun because I can sub one for another to get a variety of combinations while still giving myself some limitations to work within. I’ve had a few mods done that may be difficult to see –...
