Pedal Line Friday (on Wednesday) – 10/23 – Marcelo Donati

I know today is not Friday, but due to the large queue of Pedal Line Friday, I thought I do a few on Wednesdays! Today’s pedal line is from Marcelo Donati. 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, I’m Marcelo Donati, I’m from Brasil, I play in a pop rock band (called Dani Beneducci e banda), and in a Pink Floyd Tribute Band (The Teachers). Here’s my pedalboard.

The signal goes this way:

TC Electronic Polytune Mini: due to small space available in the board, this excellent pedal fits well below the wah.

Dunlop CAE MC404 Wah: designed by Bob Bradshaw, this professional wah helps me to have 2 sounds: classic red fasel for the solos, and the yellow one for rhythm.

Digitech Bad Monkey: a cheap and versatile TS pedal, used for low drives and boosting the gain for the RAT.

Proco RAT 2 modded: this pedal has a 3way mod swtich, sounds perfect for solos (sometimes boosted by Bad Monkey).

MXR Phase 90 with smooth mod: mod made by Ed’s Mod Shop, cuts off the pop and the dirty drive low mid boost from the original block phase sound.

Boss CH-1 Super Chorus: lush and brighty chorus, 80’s perfect sound!

Joyo Us Dream: cheap drive, used for low drive (simulating a valve amp)

Boss ME-70: used basically for its compressor, boost, modern drive, delays, reverb and noise gate.

Boss DD-7 Digital Delay: used almost always in analog mode. The modulate delay is amazing too.

Fender amp foot: Fender Stage 112 Se amp.

Guitars: a blue Fender Deluxe Player’s Strat with Seymour Duncan SSL-1

pickups and a SX GG1 Custom Les Paul stock.

Hugs!
PS: Great site, I’m a huge fan!!
