Pedal Line Friday – 10/31 – Eric Crawford

Today’s pedal line is from Eric Crawford. 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.

My name is Eric Crawford and I am a guitarist in the Praise Band at my Church.  Here is my submission for Pedal Line Friday.

The pedals on my really simple board are as follows (in order):

Pedal Train PB-1 – The Board.

CryBaby Wah – I’ve had this pedal for 28 years.  For me, you just can’t beat this Wah.

Korg PitchBlack Tuner – It’s a tuner.  It works really well.  What else is there to say?

Tech21 Hot Rod Plexi – Love this Pedal.  It is always on.  I just roll the guitar volume control back for cleaner sounds.  Sometimes, I use the “Hot” switch for sustain.  Other times, I kick in the Rat.  Just depends.

ProCo Rat 2 – I had an older ProCo Rat that I loved, but foolishly got rid of.  Got this one in a trade for a Tube Screamer.  The Rat is so nasty, but in such a good way!

Behringer Volume Pedal – Kind of like the Tuner… It’s a volume pedal.  It controls the volume.  Does what it is supposed to do.  I was worried when I bought it that it might “suck tone.”  But that has not been the case.  It was cheap, and it does it’s job.

Arion SCHZ-D Chorus – My very first effects pedal was an original “Gray Box” Arion SCH-1 Chorus.  Again, foolishly got rid of it.  Picked this beaut on up from AllParts. Great-sounding chorus pedal, and is a lot quieter than the original!

GFS Electronics (Guitar Fetish) Liquid Tremolo – Good-sounding, smooth, tremolo.

Boss DD-20 Giga-Delay – Extremely versatile delay pedal.  Different modes that model various types of delay / echos, with tap tempo function.  Currently not using the tap tempo, however.

Biyang RV-10 Baby Boom Tri Reverb – Just picked this one up.  So impressed with this little gem.  Good for ambient effects.  Three reverb styles (Hall, Room, Spring), with an A/B switch that adjusts the intensity.  Sound quality rivals much more expensive units.  Maybe because it is new,  but it is currently my favorite pedal.

T-Rex Fuel Tank Classic – Great unit.  Supplies power all my little toys.

Hope you enjoy seeing my board!  Maybe I’ll see it on the website!
