Great tool this, thinking about getting a TS 808 in the near future.
Cheers

Excellent thing here. Really helpful stuff. I was shocked how good the Bad Monkey sounds compared to any other pedal in it’s price range (bluesbreaker II, TS7) and actually held it’s own next to a ts808. Great stuff here, many kudos to you!

Hey Jeff try using a Boss SD-1. It’s just a TS-808 with symmetrical clipping and its a whole lot cheaper. Perfect SRV sound if you’re using s strat, i Promise!

(Stevie used two TS-808s. One for main OD and one as a boost)

Anthony – Wow, this is an impressive undertaking, and a strong concept. The 3 settings options are well thought out, and I especially like that you included the option to hear “no effects” for reference. Obviously, it will be impossible to demonstrate every pedal offered, but hopefully you can keep adding the most common pedals players would like to compare.

Maybe pedal builders would be willing to loan you pedals for inclusion in this project. Over time, you would build an impressive audio database. The bigger it becomes, the more valuable it will be as a reference source. I think this “comparinator” concept would also work well with pickups and amplifiers.

Hi Marco,

My schedule does not leave much time for adding new pedals, but I hope to replace the comparinator with something easier to update in the future.

Great Idea having the pedal comparinator. The more pedals the better. It would be great to see the Zen Drive, Tim, Boiling Point, Sweet Honey, some Jetter’s, etc. Anyway thanks.

I have to agree, the Bad Monkey sounded the best, to my ears. I have to admit that I have a BM, but I don’t think that swayed my vote, it really just sounds better on most levels. I use mine as a lo-gain boost, keeping the gain at zero, but I’m considering buying another for higher gain settings. It’s just a great pedal.
