Pedals for electronic drums

[Locrian99]

good morning,

I’m picking up a cheap used electronic drum set for my 6 year old to give him for Xmas this year. He’s always drawn to the drum room at guitar center when we’ve gone and constantly bashes on everything around the house so figure we should embrace it. Hopefully he has better rhythm than I do lol. Anyways I’m not a drummer about the only effect I remember really hearing or noticing on drums is the flanger towards the end of bold as love. Anyone have any suggestions on what would be a cool sounding circuit to build to go with his little drum set that Santa is bringing this year?

I think delay on drums sounds cool

Reverb... Something with versatility like the Spatialist or Deflector, not a spring type.

All the fx. I heard an envelope filter put to good use on a drum machine recently. I also enjoy dirty drums.

 

[Nostradoomus]

Reverb and fuzz

perfect I haven’t built a reverb yet give me a good reason to do one. He’s not getting my rv-6

Hmm I’ve got a seabed delay I don’t use and an op amp muff I don’t really use. Might be a good time to try a 3 in 1 with the reverb.

Thank you for the ideas.

A lofi crunchy distortion is a snare’s best friend.

Gated/voltage-starved fuzz sounds great.

Some kind of bit-crusher or sample-rate-reducer, a Lo-Fi machine...

if only @PedalPCB had something like the Ibanez LF7 Lo-Fi Filter to build.

Flanger, reverb delay and envelope, these are ones you should definitely build.
