Rob Scallon Pedalboard

The sound of a worn-out tape deck. Warble and Loss add that wobbly, chewed-up VHS character, Noise brings in tape hiss and mechanical noise, and Widen spreads it across the stereo field. Start and Stop let you slow the tape transport to a halt and spin it back up to speed.

Feedback on demand, no cranked amp required. Hold a note, hit the footswitch and it blooms. Pick which harmonic it lands on, then use Threshold, Fade In and Fade Out to control how it builds and dies away.

A tempo-synced delay that plays forward or in reverse. Pitch shifts the repeats up or down, Flutter adds some wobble, Drive distorts them, Tone darkens or brightens them, and Width spreads them out wide. Set the delay time by note value, in milliseconds, or just type in the word “RAIN” (IYKYK).

A versatile compressor that keeps your signal in check. Choose a ratio from 1 to 20, or hit All to engage every ratio at once for a more aggressive sound. Input, Output, Attack and Release let you shape the response, and the meters show exactly how hard it’s working.

A nasty fuzz with a Toxic switch for when it isn't nasty enough. Gain and Fuzz set how hard it breaks up, Scoop carves out the mids, Filter and Crunch shape the edge, and Mix lets your clean signal back in.

A green overdrive that does one thing really well. Drive for the push, Tone for the bite and Level to match your bypassed sound. Put it in front of a high gain amp for tighter, punchier rhythms.

The sound of an old TV set. Flip through the channels for different lo-fi textures and ambience. Tone, Comp, Vol and Mix shape both the ambience and your signal, and Comp adds a one-of-a-kind TV-style compression color that works on just about anything: guitars, drums, vocals, synths and more.

A pitch shifter that goes from two octaves down to two octaves up. Drop your tuning without touching your guitar, or go for big dive-bomb pitch jumps. Comp and Filter clean up the shifted signal, and Mix blends it with your dry tone. A parallel output sends your DI to another pedal or straight out, keeping low-tuned, high-gain riffs tight and articulate.

A reverb built like a little digital camera. Turn the dial to choose from reverbs captured at some of Rob’s favorite locations. Blend it in with Wet and Dry, darken the tail with Filter, and hit Freeze to hold it while you play over the top.

Instant double tracking. Flip between Left, Right and Drift, then use Amount and Mix to go from a subtle thickener to a full second guitar sitting next to the first.
