Favourite effect pedal for guitar
 

Hello guys!
I'm creating this thread to discuss about our favourite gear for guitar and bass ofc.
I've been making alot lately and im curious as to what people prefer.
My favourite one is Fuzz Face, used by so many and the one Jimi Hendrix.
There's many variations to that which i havent really tried.

Fuzz Face is cool. My favorite is a Wah pedal.

Personally I own a Jerry Cantrell wah.

My absolute favorite pedal I own is the Zoom G1on. It's a relatively inexpensive multi effects pedal.

The Miku pedal is one I've always wanted, but never really wanted to front the money for it because it's just a stupid novelty.

@Blank. Talk about wah have you ever tried an RMC? Man i make pedals for living but seriously now i have to high five this guy. Makes the best wahs i've ever played.

and i guess in china everything that has a loli sells like hell :P whats the price for it? hahaha

RMC Teese is what i played lately

Never played one. I've seen mostly the demos on youtube and they seem to be a much more suttle wah.

Well he has so many models. Teese is a subtle one thats true. But then if you wanna play Funk you need it that way. The cry baby that i've been playing for years (just cuz its cheap) doesnt do the funk for me. Too crispy! And some other wahs can be biased directly to not so subtle depending on the needs. I want to make a wah myself but then again so many good ones already out there there is really no need. So far i've been making variations on DIs preamps and distortions as well as combos. Do you have any boutique ones?

Those Anderton's dudes are hilarious most of the time. Love their reviews.

Agreed.

Wahs are the best pedals below your general delay stuff. Auto-wah is trash 1000% of the time.

(Feel free to make fun of my delay fetishism to get back at me for the chorus mockery, elph).

I prefer the Super chorus but they both sound great.

Something that I wish more musicians would experiment with is the talk box. It's so cool with so much potential.

Behringer if you're willing to risk your gear catching fire. Boss DD3 or 7 if you want a proppa delay. Delay is a pretty straightforward concept that is crazy hard to **** up though, so most will work. The biggest factor to consider is if it cuts the feedback loop when you shorten the delay time or if it alters the delay feedback (shortening the time will give you a higher pitch for example). Altering the feedbackis better for my goals. I'd avoid delay with added effects like the Tera-Echo since you usually can't turn the secondary effect all the way off.

Boss DD3 is the bomb entry level delay. Behringer is crap.

If you have the budget, this is the best delay pedal I've ever owned.

My favorite two effects are not pedal but Fender built in amp effects: the spring reverb and vibrato. (I know that Fender reversed the nomenclature, where the tremolo on the guitar is actually a vibrato; and on the vibrato on the amp is actually tremolo.)

... but as far as pedals:
Boss DM3 (I know the DM2 is more coveted, but it's what I can afford)
DOD MeatBox
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff (made from Russian tank no less)
Ibanez Tube Screamer
TC Electronic Alter Ego X4

They're not ultra professional but they have quite a bit of functionality and are great considering the price. Like I said though, gotta be ready for that **** to burst into flames when you get to into it.

Actually audited the factory where a lot of their stuff is built. It's not hard to be very functional in our current digital age, but their quality and consistency is very low on the overall grade score.

They pull through on sound and they only cost 20 bucks. Winner winner fried chord dinner.

Both Boss and Behringer as not good for my taste. Of course i agree and Boss's actually nice pedal but in the contrary the sound is not good. I like my sound to be warm and cool, while boss for me is the contrary (it's more crispy). I have been using boss dd7 for a very long time but nowdays i just prefer tape delay pedals (or in common tapelike delay pedals) or even a REAL tape delay if you can find :) It's an ongoing project of mine actually. I'll be sure to open a threat about it later on.

PS:
@Blank.
I really couldnt agree more. Talkbox is a marvelous thing and not many people use it or at least play with. Maybe some kind of inconsistency between keyboard & guitar/bass?

Ah so you're looking for an analog delay pedal. MXR makes a nice one. I prefer digital, it is a bit more sterile but it's also a a lot more dynamic.

I must admit i respect MXR. I really like almost all their pedals. They do a really nice job. Actually at the moment im really happy with one of my own creations. I cant post link but search for nobrain fx deep blue delay on Reverb.
And of course its not my own design although i altered a few things.

Fulltone makes an echoplex clone. But you'll need a second mortgage to buy one.

soz (bug)

Wow thanks for sharing, havent seen that one before.
I was following T-Rex Replicator Analog Tape Delay

But you are right on that second mortgage, clearly there is something wrong with their heads (and it's not that hard to make either) or they are just picky on their clientlist for this unit.

TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay.

that one's actually really nice although digital.

My favorite is the eventide pedal for sure!

The reverbs on it are amazing along with the harmonizer

My favorite is the TC Electronic Alter Ego X4

what about the Line 6 - DL4? It's a must have. I guess thats how we all feel right?

I used to use a DOD Death Metal pedal with the distortion dialed back to get a really nice full fat tone with sustain for days on a 74 LP Gold Top. I'm not sure what happened to it, but it was my favorite for a long time, many years ago. I'm guessing it was probably one of Tom Crams projects, and this is some crazy news:

I never thought digitech was that great. It was just cheap pedals. Maybe for the money they weren't too bad.

There's been tons of firings throughout the Harman divisions since Samsung bought them about a year ago. And mostly in the R&D and Engineering departments.

Guess Samsung figures they have those areas covered in-house. :finger:

I tried several Digitech effect and the only one that i like so far (and not 100%) is the Whammy. And even the wammy has been outrun. Pitchfork is so much better.
