Topic: Love Pedal

Anyone have any experience with Love Pedals? From the looks of it, they have some really nice sounding stuff...

Re: Love Pedal

I don't have any first hand experience with them but I have heard very good things about them.  The 200lbs. of Fuzz pedal sounds interesting (makes the pretty bold claim of nailing EJ's fuzz lead tone) and they make a one knob univibe copy that sounds awesome on some clips.  Where can you get them?

Re: Love Pedal

They DO make some great pedals. The Eternity (Tube Screamer type), is probably the most well known.

    Known for how well voiced they are.

Justin-

You can find some of the pedals if you just go to google shopping. Im thinking about checking out the 200lbs of fuzz pedal... i have read some good and bad things about it. And thanks (to Budda as well) for answering all of my noob questions... you should write a book or something!!

Re: Love Pedal

No problem!

    Here's a GREAT place to find out about, and purchase, Boutique Effects, Amps, Guitars, etc.

    http://www.musictoyz.com/

    THere's even some Video Demos of pedals, etc. And Teddy who owns TOYZ is a great guy.

    The only thing, make sure to call first, to make sure what you order is IN STOCK. Otherwise, you may have a wait. Boutique stuff like Love Pedal is hand made. So, availability isn't always consistent. But, Teddy works hard to get the good stuff.

    Happy Hunting!

I pretty much write a book every time I respond...I just love gear!  BTW you're welcome man, it's tough finding your tone.  Any help we guitarists get is awesome.  I would really like to add a fuzz to my rig but I can never get one to play nice with the other pedals.  From what I gather they sound the best when they are the only thing in front of the amp?  That sucks for me because I have a wah, tuner, overdrive, etc that I don't want to get rid of.  I think the 200lbs of fuzz may be what I'm looking for.  I know that my Fuzzface is the most selfish pedal I've ever heard.

Re: Love Pedal

Yeah, Fuzz Faces ARE tempermental. And, you gotta go through many, many of them to find a good one.

    Fuzzes do sound best (usually) when first in line. Also, rolling your guitar's volume off "just a little" (Maybe aroung 9 or 8), you find a sweet spot, where the Tones just pop. A good Fuzz will react well to volume and tone manipulations.

    I have a Keeley Fuzz Head, and it is pretty sweet. And I hear a lot of good stuff about the KR Gypsy Fuzz.

    The best I've ever played are the Sweet Sound Fuzzes. There are 3 or 4 different flavors, too.

    My favorite was the Monterey Fuzz, by SweetSound.

Re: Love Pedal

well as money is tight, and i am trying to save... i am thinking about picking up either the 200 lbs of fuzz, or the fulltone ocd to go with my tube screamer... i will probably go will go with what ever you guys tell me i should get yet. By the way, i have been playing for about 12 years now, but untill i discovered joe, i never really thought to hard about tone... i guess i wasnt a real gear head haha.

Re: Love Pedal

lovepedals are the real deal.  i have the black kanji 9, the black box vibe & the pickle vibe.  they are very good.  i think any of the drives are worth a try.   the thing to consider is how your amp is--is it mid rangey, dark, bright?  look at the types of drives & their descriptions to see which one would go with your amp.  i use the kanji with either a divided by 13 ftr 37 or a fuchs ods.  the 13's fender sound works with all drives.  the fuchs has its mid range voice--the kanji works well here too.  but the tim for me doesn't go with the fuchs.  with the 13--the tim is awesome.  i don't want to change the settings on the tim from the 13 to the fuchs.  besides, the fuchs drive is right there.  the ocd works on either amp too cool
