Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams) Trem Pedal?

[drspencer]

Does anyone know what Trem pedal Doug uses?
Thanks.

When I saw them recently Doug is an absolute pedal whore - HUGE pedal board, I couldnt quite see the individual pedals to ID them, but krikey...... it might even be amp trem too...... but he used it alot

The latest CD has a shout out to Line6. I really hope all those great tremolo sounds are coming out of something other than a modeler.

I don't know which one he actually uses, but the TCJ Luxury Twin Rate Trem gets great Pettibone trem sounds... The trem on the Fillmore recording is very amp-like IMO, (un)even if it is a pedal (pun intended).

Yeah listening to how much he used it, I was wishing I could get him a Mint Green Mini Vibe, I know he'd love it with that unique hypnotic throb....

I was on the phone with Taras (Lucinda's bassist) a couple of days ago about some session work. When he calls back this week I'll try to remember to ask him about Doug's trem unit he's using.

Please do, this is becoming quite the mystery,

we should have a reward for pix of his pedalboard !!

DP uses a Prescription Electronics Throb tremolo, utilising 2 different trem speeds and sometimes for helicopter-style effects.

the Throb trem sounds so good, but it has a slight volume drop that made it not work out on my board. I switched to the Frantone Vibutron. Same great sound as the throb, no volume drop. If any of you love trem and haven't tried the Vibutron, please do so.

Can anyone comment on the Pres. Elec. Throb pedal? I've read that it's not true bypass and has other issues.
Thanks

Like I mentioned above your post, the Throb definitely has a volume drop when engaged. It's also not true bypass. The Vibutron gets the same great sound without the volume drop and it is true bypass.

I took this photo of Doug Pettibone's pedal board at the 2/18/06 duo concert with lucinda williams at the aladdin theatre in portland, or.

looks like he's got a trob AND a Demeter Tremulator. Any idea why he'd use two? maybe different pedals for different songs? I wonder which he used on 'fruits of my labor' on the original recorded version.

Anyone know how these two pedals compare? How about to the Supa Trem?

Thanks,

Wow, thanks for the pic (despite the huge size) !

You're right, looks like a rehoused Tremulator and the PE Throb being used. I use a Tremulator and it is an all-round good-sounding trem, whereas the Throb (based on the EH Pulsar) I believe DP uses for the helicopter effects.

Can anyone list all of the effects, and in which running order they are arranged?

Would you mind telling him, I would love to take Lucinda out to dinner...

Very Cool !

Thanks for the pic.

Now we know, ......lets detail the pedals.

What is the way huge and the guytron ?
