Effects Library
We have a number of guitar effects pedals available to borrow.
The library is a ‘low admin’ enterprise and runs on goodwill and trust.
We do our best to make sure everything is working for you, and can advise you about how to use it, including the correct way to power them.
This service is run voluntarily by Dave Johnson at Bingley Guitar Studio, First Floor 122-124 Main Street (above Ison Harrison Solicitors), Bingley, BD16 2HL

Effects
Switch
SoundLab SAB10 AB Switch
Allows you to have two instruments that go to the same output so you can switch between them, or, turn it round and have one instrument and select between outputs.
Chorus
Daphon E10CH Super Chorus
Don't be fooled by the looks this is a great little chorus pedal. Clone of the Ibanez Soundtank CS5 Super Chorus. Check out the review on JHS Pedals
Chorus
Daphon E20CH Super Chorus
This is a slightly moremodern version of the Daphon E10CH. Again really an Ibanez clone. Sounds great.
Compressor
Arion SC0-1
Cheap but good pedals from many years ago. This one is missing the battery cover. This an 'ACA' type pedal, so check you're using the correct power supply.
Compressor
Omnifex 720C
A good compressor - hard to find much information about it. Two knobs, nice and simple.
Distortion
Danelectro FAB
Great sounding distortion in a very cheap package. Watch the JHS video about the FAB line of pedals for more.
Distortion
Digitech Grunge
Probably not really the sound of Nirvana, but fun distortion pedal nether the less. The link takes you to the DOD version of it.
Distortion
Profile+ Metal MTL-5
Not just for metal, but a pedal capable of alot of distortion.
EQ
Behringer EQ 700
An EQ pedal is a versatile workhorse caple of doing lots of things. If you want to experiment, here's your chance.
Fuzz
Behringer Super Fuzz SF300
Great, versatile little fuzz pedal. As good (and often better than) many of the more expensive pedals out there. Google it.
Fuzz
Vachon Audio Fiuzz
A hand built fuzz, made a workshop with pedal builder Dave Vachon. A great fuzz, needs a 9V battery.
Octave
Beta Alvin Super Octaver OC-100
An Octave pedal that has been repaired. The octave works, but the fuzz part of it does not.
Overdrive
Danelectro FAB
Great sounding overdrive in a very cheap package. Watch the JHS video about the FAB line of pedals for more.
Overdrive
Maxx OD-10 Super Over Drive
Clearly a BOSS copy. Sounds great.
Overdrive
Star Sound OD-6
I'm going to say this is a Tubescreamer clone of the Soundtank TS5. Watch the video for an idea.
Overdrive
Wholenote OD-6
I'm going to say this is a Tubescreamer clone of the Soundtank TS5. Watch the video for an idea.
Phaser
Wholenote PH-7
I'm going to say this is another Soundtank clone. I think it's a 4 stage phaser, so good for classic phaser sounds.
Sustain Pedal
Roland Sustain Pedal
A non-latching switch that can act as a sustain pedal for midi-keyboards, but may also be useful with other effects.
Tremollo
Marshall Vibratrem VT-1
Vibrato? Tremolo? Both? Best effect ever?
Tuner
Korg DT-10
Slightly battered tuner. Does the job.
Wah
Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95
The Cry Baby Wah is the most iconic guitar effect in music history - according to the people who want to sell them to you.
Wah
Morley M2 Maverick
A traditional-sounding switchless wah pedal. To activate this pedal, all you need to do is put your foot onto the treadle; once you release your foot, the pedal will go back into bypass mode. The pedal’s 100-kOhm potentiometer helps influence the wah’s classic tone, travel, and Q.
Wah
Morley Pro Series Wah
Pretty sure this works as both a volume pedal and a wah. Optical operation. The video link is not the exact model.
Multi-effects
Pod 2.0
Line 6's popular multi-effects series. Building on the specs of the original, the POD 2.0 features A.I.R technology for emulating classic cabinets, effects, and recording equipment.
