DigiTech PDS 2000
Until early 1991, the only effects the Studio used were the reverb and distortion on the guitar amp. It was used for both guitar parts, drums, and vocals. Then a used DigiTech PDS 2000 sampler pedal was bought. It was bought around the same time as the 4-track recorder.
The pedal provided two effects. The first was delay. It also doubled as a sampler pedal, recording up to 2 seconds of audio that could be triggered for playback.
The pedal was used extensively in the early days of Mune Mud. Every effect on Mune Mud's 1991 Olympus album was from this pedal.
Around November of 1991 the first multi-effect rack unit (the Alesis QuadraVerb GT) was bought by the Studio, so the use of this pedal for guitar and drums dropped drastically. But it was still used to add delay to vocals for years. In fact, even as recent as the last Mune Mud album, Hobson's Choice from 2004, it was used for that purpose.
But now that the computer is being used to record all new music, the pedal may have seen its last use. The computer can do everything and MUCH more than the pedal did.
