Example Sounds

Below are some example pedalboards, and actual sound samples thru pi-Stomp hardware. These pedalboards, along with others, will be included as “starter pedalboards” when you download the software. Others from the Mod community can be checked out here: https://pedalboards.moddevices.com/

Distorted Tones

Alive (intro and verse)
  • Vox HDC (both humbuckers, volume=9 intro, 6 verse) > pi-Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW with no extra processing
  • Effects: DOD-250-ish overdrive, JCM-800 Amp, 4×12 Cab, Chorus1, Hall Reverb
Plush (intro)
  • Vox HDC-77 (bridge pickup) > pi-Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW with no extra processing
  • Effects: DOD-250-ish overdrive, JTM-45 Amp, 4×12 Cab, Chorus2, Echo, Hall Reverb

Solo Tone

Another Brick Solo
  • Strat (neck pickup) > pi Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW with clean-ish amp simulator (Fender Vibro Champ)
  • Effects: Compression, Stacked Overdrive, Modulated Delay and Plate Reverb
  • Backing tracks (Drums, Bass, Organ) from JamKazam

Clean Tones

Streets
  • Strat (middle/bridge pickups) > pi-Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW with no extra processing
  • Compressor, Tube Warmth, AC-30 Amp, 4×12 Cab, Double delay (1/4 and dotted 8th), Room Reverb
Fixx: 1Thing, Deeper, Zero, Outside
  • Strat (middle/bridge pickups) > pi-Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW with clean-ish amp simulator (mid 80’s Marshall Plexi)
  • Over the top Compression, Occasional Overdrive (second sample), Stereo Chorus, Delay & Reverb
  • My own backing tracks. Literally recorded in the 90’s.

Amp, Cabinet & Reverb Simulators

Zep Ocean (main riff)
  • Strat (bridge pickup) > pi Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW without any additional processing
  • All distortion, reverb, amp and cabinet tones are from the simulator plugins on the pi-Stomp
  • Amp sim: Marshall JTM-45; Cab 4×10 Bassman; Reverb: “Cupboard”
  • Good example of flexible routing in stereo
  • Backing tracks (drums and bass) from JamKazam

Composition and play

Effects can be a great source of inspiration. Here’s a pedalboard designed to encourage play, with fun delays, a whammy (pitch shift) and phrase looper.

And a semi-improvisational piece it inspired (single take, all hiccups and “mistakes” intact).

Playgnd #1
  • Strat (Neck pickup) > pi-Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW with no additional processing
  • Clean Amp Simulator, Reverse Delay (intro and last half), Double delay (1/8th notes), Plate reverb
Playing with Controllers and looping
  • Strat (Neck pickup) > pi-Stomp > Audio Interface > DAW with no additional processing
  • Distortion (also used as a volume swell), Clean Amp Simulator, Whammy (pitch shift), Reverse Delay, Double delay, Plate Reverb, Looper (first phrase)
