Pedals
 

hey fellas,

what pedals do you like, want, own, have used, etc....

at the mo i have a crybaby wah and i want an ibanez ts9dx tubescreaner and a digitech phase shifter....

Dude the Digitech synth wah run through a big muff is where its at!

lol yeh im thinkin of the big muff too but i think i might get the tubesreamer first .... have u tried wah pedals? man i just got mine and i love it...

Nah man, get the Big Muff. Only the original and the carbon-copy reissue of the original tube screamer ($$$$) are worth their weight. The Big Muff is Cheap and its CREAMY *makes Homer Simpson drooling noises* The Double Muff is double the pleasure.

lol is the double muff good stuff man cos i heard some crap reviews saying it made heaps o noise and sh!t like that

I haven't used it, only the Big Muff, but I would think the reviewer(s) was just an anal retentive bastard. Everything that Electro Harmonix makes is rugged and totally KICKASS sounding!!!!! That's why I said in my Gearhead's Daydream thread that I'd like to have everything they produce laid out in front of me. Its all beefy majorly wicked sounding sh*t.
2nd of all, A few years ago I was all gung ho about getting a Tube Screamer, because I'd heard so much about its reputation, so I went out and bought one of the SoundTank versions that Ibanez puts out: Worst sounding peice of crap I've ever played though. Bottom line if you want overdrive, then crank up your amp, that's true overdrive. The big muff will give you pleasureable high gain distortion that you can control to varying degrees to get what your really looking for from an overdrive pedal, but will never get because overdrive pedals suck.

lol yeh im just gonna go out and buy a fender tube amp i think

Back when I played guitar in the band, I had one of the Zoom 505 Mark I multi-effects pedal. I really liked it. It was a fairly cheap item, but it had alot of effects, sounded great, and was a totally awesome value. I don't believe they make the Mark I any more, and I haven't tried the Mark II yet, so I don't know if its as good or not.

Excellent effing decision !!!!!!!!!!!

own: boss metal zone (kick a$$), boss ds1
played: arbiter fuzz face (fun to play with), digitech metal master. digitech multi'

between all of my bands i have...

a boss looping station
a maestro 1971 stage phaser
boss digital delay
ibanez digital delay
boss digital reverb
boss octave pedal
washburn phaser
big muff distortion
digitech grunge
boss distortion
H2O liquid chorus and delay
danelectro flanger
boss bass enveloper
boss chorus ensemble
chromatic tuner
zoom 607 guitar pedal

I would save all of my money and kill a dog to have these pedals+effects!!!!
Now, I am finally concluding that you really are rich.

I'm really interested in how this sounds.

exactly how many bands are you in?

too many...... man any of you guys recommend a good phase shifter... or best one youve tried???

boss seems to make good pedals. i like their phaser. digitech also makes a good one.

TThe thing about Phase shifters is they tend to be noisy, especially analog phasers. You can usually tell a crappy one because you can hear the phase cycle through your amp even when your not playing. Because of this I reccomend Digitech's hyperphase pedal It has a variety of cool envelopes (shapes of the phase cycle) and its very quiet.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good multi-effects pedal for under $150. The guitarist in our band is thinking about getting one and the only experiance I have is with Zoom, so I figured I would branch out a little bit in the search for one.

the digitech rp series are worth a look i reckon.... i havent tried them but they look like good stuff...

^
They are good lol.
My friend Nick has one.
I used it on bass and at maximum distortion it sounded like an airplane!!
I liked it so much...makes me wanna burn this mother down, or steal it.. :P
I think it has like 40 effects and you can mess with the sound of your guitar better because it's so easy to use.

Do you know which model number it is? RP what? Because I know they have like a bunch of different ones. I don't wanna get one thats to crappy, but don't want to spend too much either. I don't think the expression pedal is really required either.

if you dont want the exp pedal then the rp 50 is the one but i would recommend the rp 80 even though its got the exp pedal cos its just better... up to you...

Well, if the RP80 is gonna be better in the long run, I will probably go with that. He might use the epxression pedal, I donno. Just figured I might be able to save some money.

yeh man the 80 is worth it.... just that mcuh better i think youll be better with that

What about the RP200A?

Tell me which one is cheapest Pastor so I can buy it and mess around with it over summer. I've been too cheap to buy a pedal because I don't need it for anything.

Have you guys thought about Korg's Pandora or their nifty little Toneworks thingies they just put out?

thats pretty good as well but its a lot more expensive than the 80 if i remember correctly....? but yeh i dont think the extra features are worth the extra money... and the 80 does a fine job too....


as for snickers... the cheapest one is the RP - 50 and you can check it out here.... http://www.digitech.com/products/rp50.htm

Own: metal master, digital delay, multichorus, and noise supressor

but i really want to find a good phaser.......but i cant seem to find any good ones

man ive been looking round and i agree with satch.. the digitech hyper phase is the one

Sorry about this but I use a Zoom 505II - do I get kicked off for that?

mmmmm... i dunno, we'll have to get back to you on that...

lol, I only use that because I blew all my money on guitars and cannot afford to build the collection of pedals that I'd like to have :(

Using money on guitars is probably a somewhat better investment.

Pedals: ZOOM 707II, and Boss DS-1 Distortion. Kind of wish I got the Boss Overdrive/Distortion, but hey. ZOOM one kicks arse, like whoah.

I quite like the multi-ness of my Zoom, it's all configurable anyway! And hey if the effects sound crap then at least I still got me a £70 tuner :D

i dont like multi's. at least for me, i can never get the right sound out of them. that plus you cant just turn off one effect at a time. im stickin to the stompboxes.

I've always liked multi-effect pedals. I think they are a really good value. Plus, if you want to turn on like 4 effects at once, you don't have to do a Russian Jig. I can see where they both have pro's and con's, and I think they both have good purposes. Just depends on what you need them to do.

yeah you can... each effect is made up of various effects which can eb turned off individually

Yamaha Distortion and the Boss Turbo Distortion are good basic distortion pedals, I dont use them too much though, i get a good sound out of my amp without them. I do use my old Bruno Wah/Fuzz pedal everynow and then though.

not with the stomp of a foot though. you have to go through and reset them. at least with the ones ive used
