Scary Pedals....Scary Tones!!!     All RedZone Effects are possessed with True Bypass Switching     Hand Made in the USA    

Since Kenny is the designer of the Snarling Dogs Pedals, we expect to get this question quite a bit.
"Can you guys sell me a Snarling Dogs pedal?

We have a B-Stock program for Snarling Dogs pedals, and also some mods that we do on them. Please email sales@redzoneeffects

Which pedal goes where?
This is a question I get asked all the time. There are many different ways to hook your pedals up. It also depends on what sound you are trying to achieve. I’ll just give you a standard, general place to start, and then we’ll elaborate.

If you are going to use a buffer, place it first. It won’t change your sound much but it will change you guitar signal to low impedance. A lot of us don’t use a buffer, but you may want to try it if you use a lot of pedals. Next I put my Wah. Then comes Pre Amps, EQ, Overdrive/Distortion, Fuzz etc. Now we get to the modulation effects. They include Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Phaser etc. I always save my Echo/Delay for last.

You may desire to use your effects differently. Maybe you would prefer to Wah the distortion instead of Distorting the Wah. Just place them in a different order or put a Wah before and after the Distortion. Sometime I hook up pedals in ways that some people say, "will sound bad  but I like it. Bad can be good.

There are many ways to get sounds that you are seeking and many pedals to try. There are routing boxes to send you signal out to 2 different amps at the same time. You can loop effects or break them into separate signal chains…..but let’s save that for some other time. As for now …. Experiment! Create your own Frankenstein!

Gain-Green for Bass tips

The Gain-Green bass gain booster is something that I like to use for a few different applications. The first few examples are with a Musicman Stingray which has an active preamp.  First, I like to keep the Gain-Green on with a low setting, basically keeping the overall sound clean, with just a slight amount of boost. This setting seems to add a nice roundness to my overall sound, and just makes certain things easier to play with the little extra gain. Also, this setting works well as a slap boost.
Next, I use the Gain-Green in a high setting for fingerstyle rock, great for classic rock tunes, gives me a slight drive/edge sound without losing my basic sound.
Getting away from my Stingray which does already have an active preamp, I find the Gain-Green is really great to use with any of my passive basses. Gives me an active boost level without hacking into my instruments electronics.

PolterDrive II Tips
Hey! Join me on a journey to the cosmic illuminations of tone. Let’s start here ….
  If I keep my amp clean and push the OD Zone footswitch on my Polterdrive II, I can get some huge warm drive with nice harmonics and then clean up my sound simply by turning down my guitar volume control knob. I don’t even have to turn the Polterdrive II off. With the OD switch on, I now step into the ODD Zone. Beware! I have entered unexplored territory! What are all these amazing tones? Next I use the dirty channel on my amp and that does it for me. Harmonics and sustain that I never heard before. I may never come home …… I mean ….. I think this is my home. Try it. I dare you …….
